A network model control system (NMCS) for model and full scale tests
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper describes the integrated model and full scale Control and Data Acquisition (NMCS) technology used in the model and full scale tests in the Ocean Coastal and River Engineering Portfolio of National Research Council of Canada. The NMCS includes in a highly integrated suite of hardware and software all components required to: • Acquire real-time data from multiple analog and digital instruments • Store this data on digital media, • Use the real-time data as inputs to real-time control functions, such as autopilots and Dynamic positioning components, •Provide drive signals for multiple steering and propulsion elements, as well as other synchronized commands to devices such as winches, ballast systems, and roll compensation systems The NMCS is based almost entirely 011 Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) components. These include; • Power sub-system components, power sources including batteries for free-running models and remote systems, • Charging Systems, • Power Safety interlock systems, E-Stop functions, • Computers, • Computer networking equipment all communications is handled via standard Ethernet devices. • Motor Controllers and support components, • Data Acquisition, • Synchronization system, that coordinates, synchronizes all elements of acquisition and control, • NRC written custom software provides integration for all of the various hardware functions. The underlying principle of the design was to integrate complex functions into a very flexible system that can be applied to any of NRC's model testing requirements, field trials with models or full scale trials systems. The modularity of the system includes hardware and software aspects, that allow the experiment designer to tailor component content to their exact requirements, and makes it efficient to implement. The core system design allows for the continuous addition of new functions , ongoing improvement of functions , as new requirements are defined or new technologies become available.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
