Computer Aided Robotics Welding
CAD/CAM software maker SSI said it is developing solutions for Computer Aided Robotics Welding (CAR-W) consistent with its recent innovations in the area of 3D weld management. This research project is under the aegis of the U.S. Navy’s National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP). In December SSI representatives met with representatives from Wolf Robotics and Edison Welding Institute to advance this project. Other organizations involved include Bollinger Shipyards, Ingalls Shipbuilding, NSWCCD, Purdue University, Colorado State University, Tony Macijewski and Longview Advisors.

Most Likely Y2K Scenario: Nobody Really Knows
Lawyers and the millennium computer bug are about to demonstrate again that it's an ill wind that blows nobody any good. If computers around the world succumb to the bug at midnight on December 31, 1999, nobody really knows what the consequences will be. In a worst case scenario, experts say hospital patients might die if high-tech equipment fails, while power cuts or systems failures might cause accidents on roads, trains, ships or planes. Less dramatic theories have companies failing as crashing computers wipe out databases containing the life-blood of some enterprises. Either way, when the dust settles the search will be on for scapegoats and compensation. Enter lawyers with writs trying to suppress smug grins.
