 | Bone repair in experimentally produced defects is regarded as very similar to the healing of bone after fractures. A cooperative effort within Armstrong Laboratory brought together a combination of resources to accurately assess bone growth and repair. The goal was development of standard procedures for use in determining the effects of biomechanical and toxicological testing. Methods: Simulated bone defects were surgically prepared in twelve rhesus monkeys. These defects were evaluated ... |

| A new Positive Pressure Breathing system for G protection (PBG) known as COMBAT EDGE, is currently being evaluated for both USAF and NAVY F-16 and F- 15 aircraft. This system is being used in conjunction with the current Air Force standard CSU-13B/P anti-G suit. Once this system is fully deployed, pilots can be exposed to a high time duration dose of positive pressure breathing over the course of a 20 ... |

| The motion activated articulating seat (MAAS) is a pilot aid in lifting the shoulder/upper torso while flying and aircraft. The MAAS system has the ability to respond rapidly should the pilot require a different shoulder/ upper torso position in response to changing mission requirements, such as checking 6 . The approach uses a high speed desk top computer, a video camera, a specialized video processing capture board, a set of ... |

| In modern high performance aircraft, gravitational stress, which can sometimes lead to G induced loss of consciousness (Gravitational Loc), is a real threat to pilot safety. G-LOC is a state of altered perception wherein one's awareness of reality is absent as a result of sudden, critical reduction of cerebral blood circulation caused by increased G force (5). Since 1982 there has been a total of 18 class A mishaps involving ... |
