      <title>The development of a model for determining scheduled replacement intervals for marine machinery systems</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1478737</link>
      <description><![CDATA[One of the challenges of maintenance management of a marine machinery system is the problem of selecting the optimum interval for replacement of equipment items. Most of the approaches that are given in the literature for selecting optimum replacement intervals are based on a single criterion model such as cost. This approach may be satisfactory for some industries but for the marine industry disruption in services will result in a considerable cost penalty and, as such, other factors such as system downtime and system reliability must be taken into consideration when determining the optimum replacement interval for the system. These decision criteria have been proven to be in conflict with one another. On this basis, a multi-criteria decision-making tool, Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), is proposed in this article for aggregating multiple criteria in order for them to be used simultaneously in determining the optimum scheduled replacement interval for the equipment items of the system. The use of a multi-criteria decision-making tool allows the decision-maker to express preference for the decision criteria in terms of their levels of importance. To achieve this aim, a compromise decision weighting technique is integrated with TOPSIS. The compromise weighting technique was obtained from a combination of the variance method (an objective decision criteria weighting technique) and analytical hierarchy process (a subjective decision criteria weighting technique). In order to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed innovative methodology for determining the optimum replacement intervals for a marine machinery system and also validate the technique, a case study involving some equipment items of a marine diesel engine is presented. Although results show that it produces the same optimum solution as the methods in the literature, the proposed method is more flexible and less computationally intensive.]]></description>

      <title>Global Navigation Satellite Systems – Perspectives on Development and Threats to System Operation</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1420678</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The rapid development of satellite navigation and timing technologies and the broad availability of user equipment and applications has dramatically changed the world over the last 20 years. It took 38 years from the launch of the world’s first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, (October 4, 1957) to the day NAVSTAR GPS became fully operational (July 17, 1995). In the next 20 years user equipment became widely available at the consumer level, and 10 global and regional satellite systems were partially or fully deployed. These highly precise signals provided free to the user have been incorporated by clever engineers into virtually every technology. At the same time interference with these signals (spoofing and jamming) have become a significant day to day problem in many societies and pose a significant threat to critical infrastructure. This paper provides information on the current status and development of navigation satellite systems based on data provided by the systems' administrators. It also provides information on Loran/eLoran, a system which many nations have selected as a complement and backup for satellite navigation systems.]]></description>

      <title>EVALUATION OF SHERWOOD SCUBA REGULATORS FOR USE IN COLD WATER; TECHNICAL REPT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/454204</link>
      <description><![CDATA[NEUD tested the breathing effort and susceptibility to freeze-up of two models of Sherwood SCUBA regulators, the Blizzard and the Maximus. Both regulators were teated in -2% (28F) salt water, at depths to 6O.7 mew (19F few). Five examples of each model were tested. The probability of regulator failure was computed from the number of cold induced incidents, and the time to failure for each incident. Under these rigorous conditions, the probability of failure for the Sherwood Blizzard was approximately half that of the Maximus. Furthermore, the Blizzard's breathing effort was consistently lower than the Maximus, especially at low supply pressures. The Sherwood Blizzard should be adequate for dives of up to 40 min duration in sea water temperature to 28F. Deeper than 100 few, only moderate work (RMV no greater than 40 L-min) should be accomplished.]]></description>

      <title>SEWAGE TRANSFER HOSE SUPPORT FACILITIES. DESIGN AND OPERATION</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/143472</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The transfer of sewage from Navy ships, submarines and small craft to shoreside treatment facilities is accomplished in all cases through the use of sewage transfer hose. At most activities, shoreside commands are responsible for the support of this sewage transfer hose and related equipment. This report examines the need for hose support facilities and presents design guidance for development of these facilities. To support sewage transport hose, several functions must be considered. These functions include hose cleaning, hose and fitting maintenance, hose and equipment storage, and personnel facilities. This report discusses hose cleaning requirements from the stand point of operational and sanitary requirements.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[As evidenced by Raygo Wagner and J. I. Case with their overseas marketing efforts for their recently introduced straddle carrier designs, the US container handling equipment manufacturing industry is now looking increasingly beyond its own borders to sell its products.  Nevertheless, the massive home market remains strong and makes an ideal testing ground for advanced thinking in equipment design. Two new container handling systems have just been announced and will be in operation in the US shortly.]]></description>
