Computer Controlled Direct Air Sample Counting

Description: At Rocky Flats approximately 1000 effluent and process area air samples are collected daily. These samples are then transferred to a central facility and direct counted for gross alpha concentrations. These concentrations are determined by utilizing a 100 detector system with a mini-computer. The computer controls the count cycle and performs data manipulations. The results are stored on magnetic tape. This system is designed and programmed in such a manner that it can be operated by semi-skill… more

A Pattern Oriented Data Structure for Interactive Computer Music

Description: This essay describes a pattern oriented data structure, or PODS, as a system for storing computer music data. It organizes input by sequences or patterns that recur, while extensively interlinking the data. The interlinking process emulates cognitive models, while the pattern processing draws specifically from music cognition. The project aims at creating open source external objects for the Max/MSP software environment. The computer code for this project is in the C and Objective-C compute… more
