The sensors cannot both have the high accuracy because one or both of them are clearly wrong in your scenario, meaning the estimated accuracy of one or both sensors is clearly wrong. If your estimate of the accuracy of the sensor is wro

Purely mechanical does not mean failure free. I've had the throttle linkage stick such that the spring was insufficient to drive the throttle back when I removed my foot from the gas. Fortunately, the ignition key truly disabled the

A dog is a mammal, but not all mammals are dogs. The paper states "[a] pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) is a deterministic algorithm that produces numbers whose distribution is indistinguishable from uniform." You are asserti

New systems (not the 737 FMS) use ARINC-664[1] - UDP/TCP/IP/ethernet with all the good parts disallowed. :-) The original Dual FMS predates ARINC-664. The original Dual FMS was a Motorola 68040 (the predecessor FMS was the TI

I wrote a lot of the "Dual FMS" BootROM and also the cross-FMS data link communications handling (TCP/IP originally over a high baud rate async serial channel). Most of my code is deeply embedded.

Core memory is non-volatile. If you hooked it up to a computer, you could read out what was written into it. Theoretically. NASA recovered the Challenger's core memory out of the ocean and was able to read it out months after the d

I'm not wild about the labels "implicit" and "explicit" for mental models. "Explicit" is not bad, but "implicit" is less intuitive. IMHO, "behavioral model" is a better label. With si
