Abstract: A graphical user interface that is capable of being used on a computing device, such as a vehicle diagnostic tool. The graphical user interface includes various buttons that when actuated causes the vehicle diagnostic tool to perform a corresponding functionality such as read diagnostic trouble codes and collect and display a data stream of diagnostic data of a vehicle. The graphical user interface also displays buffered data in a data window and the data may be moved using various input buttons.

Abstract: A diagnostic tool that includes a smart camera. The smart camera can be used to capture an image of the part that needs to be replaced. The image can also include the bar code that may be attached to the part. The image can be used to search a parts information database for additional parts information such as part number, manuals, pictures, etc. A further search of a parts supplier's database can be conducted using a location of the diagnostic tool to determine the nearest parts supplier that has the part available and the best price.

Abstract: A method of waveform drawing, including generating a plurality of waveforms with certain waveforms being in the same space in a display, eclipsing the waveforms in a rank order and storing the related data in an eclipsed list, the related data of the eclipsed list including a plurality of drawing points with the results of eclipsing the waveforms in the rank order, performing a reduction of flicker on a displayed image from the data outputted from the eclipsing of the waveforms in rank order, an erasure list and a draw list including the results of the reduction of flicker, optimizing the erasure list from the data outputted from performing the reduction of flicker and storing in an optimized erasure list, and copying from the eclipsed list to a predecessor list, the predecessor list including drawing units representing vertical stripes at a given x-axis position.

Abstract: A method for optimizing a test sequence to diagnose a failure mode of a device, such as a vehicle, is provided. At least one symptom of a fault of the device is received, and a plurality of taxonomies is generated. The taxonomies include a device component taxonomy, a fault taxonomy, and a diagnostic taxonomy, and each taxonomy has a plurality of nodes. At least one diagnostic test sequence, based on the symptom and the taxonomies, is generated, costs associated with the diagnostic test sequence are determined, and a cost optimal test sequence, based on the costs and the diagnostic test sequence, is generated.

Abstract: Composite rocket propellants, in which the base component is a functionally terminated rubber, and case-bonded rocket motors containing same, are provided, wherein cross-link density at, and adjacent at least a portion of the initial propellant burning surface is lower than that throughout the remainder of the propellant to provide greater strain capability at the initial burning surface together with greater propellant strength for higher mass ratio and improved case bonding than possible utilizing a single "compromise" propellant cross-link density of the prior art.

Abstract: The invention is based on the discovery that when at least a part of the initial burning surface of an epoxy cured carboxy terminated rubber type composite propellant is coated with a propellant antioxidant material, an increase in resistance to oxidative hardening and an increase in strain capability is imparted to said surface. The invention provides (1) such a composite propellant coated at an initial burning surface with a propellant antioxidant in an amount sufficient to impart those unexpected improvements, (2) method involving coating the burning surface with the requisite amount of the propellant antioxidant material, and (3) a propellant rocket motor containing the above said propellant. When only a portion of the surface is subject to high strain, e.g. in slot areas, it is sufficient that only that portion of the burning surface be coated.

Abstract: An energetic binder composition of a carboxy polymer, such as an acrylic ymer, mixed with nitrocellulose and cross-linked with a multifunctional curing agent. A composite type propellant in which the energetic binder is combined with an oxidizer and process for preparation thereof.

Abstract: Composite carboxy terminated polybutadiene (CTPB) rubber base propellants, in which the CTPB inherently contains 2,2'-methylene-bis(4-methyl-6-tert-butyl)phenol (A0-2246) added during CTPB manufacture and antagonistic toward conventional antioxidants added to the CTPB propellant, are provided, which contain a synergistic (see Markush definition) antioxidant mixture highly compatible with the inherently present AO-2246. Invention also provides the antioxidant mixture per se.

Abstract: The invention provides epoxy cured rubber based propellants containing one or more N,N'-dialkyl- and/or diarylphenylenediamines chemically locked in the polymeric network to impart improved resistance to oxidative hardening of the propellant surface and inner structure.

Abstract: Solid propellant compositions wherein the polymeric binder is an all-epoxide cured carboxy-terminated rubber are described. A typical composition contains oxidizer, fuel and a binder formed by curing a carboxy-terminated polybutadiene with a specified mixture of a diepoxide and triepoxide using chromium 2-ethylhexanoate as catalyst.
