<title>Large-screen display technology assessment for military applications</title>

With the ever increasing information rates characteristic of modern electronic systems it is not surprising that display technology is one of the most vigorous fields of current research. A wide variety of phenomena is being exploited in order to produce displays suitable for a diversity of applications. This paper, which was presented at a meeting of the Institute in London on 17 December 1975, with Captain B. J. Calverb in the Chair, reviews recent developments in both emissive and passive displays, emphasizing the advantages of alternative types for particular applications.Man's knowledge of the world in which he lives is steadily increasing and, compounded with a rapidly increasing capacity for communication, this leads to a need for new means of displaying the available information. The development of computers further increases this requirement since they make large quantities of information quickly accessible. It is to be expected that in many situations, where formerly the printed page or spoken word would at best have been the only practical possibilities, the advantages offered by modern electronic displays will increasingly be appreciated. In both civil and military applications it is clear for example that much information transmitted at present by letter could be better sent telegraphically, once suitably convenient displays are available; the need for ‘hard copy’ can be met where required. Considerable savings in time and convenience, not to mention paper, could clearly be made.

High Utility

Fast-maturing flexible display technology, explored in a military application using this envisioning method, both reveals potential utility and raises questions for further study. Flexible displays (FDs) are thin, lightweight, flexible displays that use little power and can be easily stored, carried, or mounted on clothing. Diverse applications are being imagined for the emerging FD technology, but it will take more than imagination to develop applications that have high utility and functionality. In this article we focus on military applications of wearable FD technology and demonstrate a scenario-based envisioning research method that provides a realistic context for usability analysis. Via this method, participants were encouraged to generate ideas for the uses of wearable FDs and to identify possible problems and misapplications. Results show that FDs will take on different functionalities depending on the task context and the responsibilities of the user.

Scanning Electron

Occasionally in history, an event may occur which has a profound influence on a technology. Such an event occurred when the scanning electron microscope became commercially available to industry in the mid 60's. Semiconductors were being increasingly used in high-reliability space and military applications both because of their small volume but, also, because of their inherent reliability. However, they did fail, both early in life and sometimes in middle or old age. Why they failed and how to prevent failure or prolong “useful life” was a worry which resulted in a blossoming of sophisticated failure analysis laboratories across the country. By 1966, the ability to build small structure integrated circuits was forging well ahead of techniques available to dissect and analyze these same failures. The arrival of the scanning electron microscope gave these analysts a new insight into failure mechanisms.

Empirische Forschung

Zunächst führt dieser Artikel in die wesentlichen Begrifflichkeiten und Zielstellungen der Versorgungsforschung ein. Er befasst sich dann mit der Frage, wie die einzelnen Teildisziplinen der Versorgungsforschung, (1) die Bedarfsforschung, (2) die Inanspruchnahmeforschung, (3) die Organisationsforschung, (4) das Health Technology Assessment, (5) die Versorgungsökonomie, (6) die Qualitätsforschung und zuletzt (7) die Versorgungsepidemiologie konzeptionell zu fassen sind, und wie sie für neuropsychologische Anliegen ausformuliert werden müssen. In diesem Zusammenhang werden die in den einzelnen Bereichen jeweils vorliegenden versorgungsrelevanten Studienergebnisse referiert. Soweit es zulässig ist, werden Bedarfe für die Versorgungsforschung und Versorgungspraxis in der Neurorehabilitation daraus abgeleitet und Anregungen für die weitere empirische Forschung formuliert. Der Artikel bezieht sich – entsprechend seines Anliegens – ausschließlich auf Studien, die sich mit der Situation der deutschen Neurorehabilitation befassen.
