Today's scanners are less than one-fifth a cubic inch, about the perfect size for the tip of a Palm Pilot computer.
In January, an autopilot-to-human-pilot transition went awry in San Francisco when the pilot computer overcorrected to prevent changing lanes; the resulting fender-bender with a Nissan Leaf caused no injuries.
In 1997, 3Com acquired the U.S. Robotics Corporation, which included the group that eventually produced the popular Palm Pilot computer but which was best known for making high-performance computer modems.
A pilot computer program has been developed for solving the problem.
The workforce is diverse, with administrative personnel, technical personnel (eg, pilots, computer analysts and information technology specialists, police, teachers, physicians, nurses and other hospitals staff), production operators, ship workers, dockworkers and drivers.
Then came the other mismatches — a guy working on a TV pilot, a computer programmer looking for a "co-pilot" in life.
The other battery, called the main battery, starts the pilot's computer displays and serves as a backup for flight systems.
He described his old self as "ill with devices" -- a man too connected to the office by cell phone, pager, Palm Pilot and computer.
By 1950 when the Pilot Ace computer, on which Turing did key development work, was finally running at the National Physical Laboratory, he had moved to Manchester, impatient at the slow pace of work in the postwar public sector.
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — On the pilot's computer screen, planted at ground level a few yards from the airport runway here, the data streaming across the display tracked an airplane at 1,300 feet above a small city on the coast, making perfect circles at 150 miles per hour.
