He specialized in the chemistry and uses of phosphorus-based chemicals including fire retardants. He served from 1971 to 1973 as a member of the ad hoc panel of fire research, a National Academy of Sciences evaluaton panel for the National Bureau of Standards. He is author of three books: Viscosity and Flow Measurements, The Chemistry and Uses of Fire Retardants, and Fire.

42. lappuse - ... dynamics Figure 5. Intelligent Machines in the Twenty-First Century. equipment and systems, a "test bed," that researchers from NIST, industrial firms, universities, and other government agencies use to experiment with new standards and to study new methods of measurement and quality control for automated factories. In this sense, it serves as kind of "melting pot" of ideas from researchers across a broad spectrum of disciplines, talents, and skills.
42. lappuse - ... talents, and skills. Credit should be given here to the US Navy's Manufacturing Technology Program for helping to support the AMRF financially as well as in identifying fruitful opportunities for research. The AMRF includes several types of modern automated machine tools, such as numerically controlled milling machines and lathes, automated materialshandling equipment (to move parts, tools, and raw materials from one "workstation" to another), and a variety of industrial robots to tend the machine...

The entire facility operates under computer control using an advanced control approach, based on the ideas in Figure 5, and pioneered at NIST. The architecture is discussed further in Chapter 6. The AMRF incorporates some of the most advanced, most flexible automated manufacturing techniques in the world. The key to a fully flexible, data-driven, automated manufacturing system is the control system. Its architecture...
