[FIGURE 2 OMITTED]In each of the sears previous efforts, the 3T team from AR&SD mini drill press was required to interface the ai architecture to existing legacy software and hardware systems (schreckenghost et al. 1998a). in 1999, however, we began to support advanced water-recovery projects that were being built from the ground up. as a charter member of the water research group in ctsd, the ar&sd ai team was influential in the selection of hardware components and the design of the overall control of these systems. for the first time, we were able to build the full 3t system from the a/d press converter boards used by the sensors and devices to the top tier of the architecture.

"while all three of the de series pumps offer full authority fuel timing and control, they utilize a ''building block'' approach of progressively adding features," said paganini. "this approach provides engine manufacturers sears and system integrators the flexibility drill press to define a fuel system that matches the engine''s functional needs. the objective is to meet the more demanding emissions and performance requirements, while minimizing pump complexity and price."we categorized the pump into three offerings starting with the press basic model," paganini continued. "from there, depending upon the system or engine requirements, you could sears adapt additional features, individually or in combination, using the building block approach. by starting at the basic pump model, you can demonstrate drill and press performance and emission compliance with minimal pump complexity and price. so rather than offering a single, full-featured pump, we''ve taken an approach that allows the oem designer the flexibility to do his own interfacing, which opens up the possibility of utilizing their own componentry or outsourcing."
