We have computer codes that can simulate the physical phenomena that occur inside and outside the pipeline or conduit when there is a leak or line break. We also have field experience locating leaks and breaks. In addition, we have assessed the performance of various systems used to detect leaks and line breaks. |

| Life Cycle Testing |
|
| Life cycle testing includes the testing of components under a variety of environmental conditions representative of the conditions seen by the components. This includes activities during manufacture, transportation, storage, usage, and disposition. Division 18 have the facilities to test component and small systems under environmental conditions including: temperature, humidity, corrosive atmosphere, altitude, vibration, shock, sand and dust, solar radiation, immersion, EMI and EMC, and rain. Specialized testing can be performed to satisfy the client requirements to meet the life cycle of specialized components. Function testing of the components can be performed during the environmental testing to demonstrate that the performance is not degraded. |

| LifeLink |
|
| The LifeLink system is a mobile telemedicine system linking ambulances in SA with hospitals to accommodate video conferencing and sharing of data, etc. while the ambulance is at a scene or during transport. We developed and deployed this system under contract to Texas Dept. of Transportation as part of the TransGuide system. We developed the concepts for the LifeLink program at SwRI as and IRD project and proposed the project to TxDOT and USDOT. The system is being used for a number of advanced telemedicine technology research projects. |

| Live, Virtual, Constructive Simulation |
|
| A broadly used taxonomy for classifying simulation types. Live Simulation: A simulation involving real people operating real systems. Virtual Simulation: A simulation involving real people operating simulated systems. Virtual simulations inject human-in-the-loop in a central role by exercising motor control skills (e.g., flying an airplane), decision skills (e.g., committing fire control resources to action), or communication skills (e.g., as members of a C4I team). Constructive Model or Simulation: Models and simulations that involve simulated people operating simulated systems. Real people stimulate (make inputs) to such simulations, but are not involved in determining the outcomes. |
