Welcome
to the WARRIOR
eVIEW from Stealth Computer Corporation, featuring our
latest product information and successful application stories on
Industrial PC’s and Peripherals.
New Product:
Stealths FlatRack LCD monitor with
built-in KVM feature
Control up to 8 PC’s from 1 LCD
Monitor with Stealth's new FR-1000-KVM
 Stealth’s
FlatRack LCD Monitors fold down to 1U or 1.75” in storage
height giving back 18 to 24” of vertical space in your rack cabinet. With
rack real estate being at a premium this equates to a substantial cost
savings allowing this additional space to be used for other systems.
The new FR-1000-KVM, 15” FlatRack LCD now features an 8 Port KVM switch
built-in to the same space saving packaging. KVM stands for Keyboard,
Video, and Mouse. In the strictest definition of the term, a KVM switch
allows you to use one Keyboard, Monitor, and Mouse to operate several
computers.
 Stealth’s Model: FR-1000-KVM allows up to 8 independent servers/platforms
to be controlled through the device. Operation is as simple as pressing
integrated membrane push buttons, entering hotkey command and navigating
through the user-friendly on-screen menu. The FlatRack KVM switch is
independent of the computer operating system allowing the attached systems
to run different applications.
Features:
-
Operating system independent, transparent to all applications
-
Supports PS/2 & Serial Mouse connections
-
Hot-key functions allow fast access to 8 computers
-
15” XGA LCD foldable display down to 1U in height
-

LittlePC takes a spin on a Whirly Bird
LittlePC deployed on a helicopter for a high-resolution terrain mapping
application
Mosaic Mapping Systems needed a small and mobile PC that could perform a
multitude of duties to meet their demanding application. The LittlePC was
to be mounted in a Helicopter as part of a high-resolution digital terrain
mapping application.
Mosaic Mapping’s latest LiDAR system uses a Stealth model LPC-301 LittlePC to
control all the sensors, log laser ranges, record digital camera images
and GPS/Inertial data, and as well communicate with the custom 3-D
navigation system. Data is logged onto the LittlePC’s internal hard drive
as well as to an external hard drive connected to the firewire port. This
external drive is easily removed for off site processing of the stored
data. In addition the LittlePC USB ports are used to control various
devices including a USB to Serial converter.
What is LiDAR?
LiDAR (light detection and ranging) systems use an airborne mounted laser that
pulses light at a rotating mirror, which in turn deflects the light
towards the ground. The ground reflects some of the energy from each pulse
of light back towards the helicopter, and the time that the light was
traveling to the ground and back is measured. From this “time of flight”
comes the distance from the helicopter to the ground, and by combining the
laser sensor with a GPS/Inertial Navigation System it is possible to
calculate the latitude, longitude and elevation of each “hit” on the
ground.
The
laser generates thousands of pulses per second, and the rotation of the
mirror as the helicopter moves forward makes for a pattern of laser hits,
so that a swath of ground under the helicopter is covered by measurements.
Typically each square meter of terrain yields as least one measurement.
The vertical accuracy is about 15 cm.
Mosaic Mapping
Systems, Inc. is a publicly traded company (TSX-V symbol DEM)
providing high-resolution terrain mapping and digital imagery. The company
specializes in the integration of airborne data acquisition technologies,
combining multi-sensor data collection in a single flight with the
development of sophisticated end-user tools for data integration and 3-D
visualization.

Stealth in the Core
Stealth makes a cameo appearance in the new blockbuster "The Core".
Paramount Pictures has recently released their latest flick “The Core”. The film
boasts the talented academy award winning Hilary Swank (Boys Don't Cry)
directed by the diversely seasoned Jon Amiel.
When Paramount pictures called upon Stealth they were looking for rugged
and unique looking input devices (keyboards and mice) that would survive
in rough and tough conditions. Their immediate choice was the
5000 series
Stainless Steel encapsulated rugged keyboards that would make the journey
to the core of the earth.
Plot Summary: A geophysicist discovers that an unknown force has caused
the earth's inner core to stop rotating. With the planet's magnetic field
rapidly deteriorating, our atmosphere literally starts to come apart at
the seams with catastrophic consequences. To resolve the crisis, a team of
the world's most gifted scientists, travel into the earth's core in a
subterranean craft piloted by "terranauts," Their mission: detonate a
device that will reactivate the core.

WHAT IS
A “U” or more specifically a “RACK UNIT”?
As in 1U, 2U, 4U … etc
 A "Rack Unit" or "U" is
an Electronic Industries Alliance or more commonly “EIA” standard
measuring unit for rack mount type equipment. This term has become more
prevalent in recent times due to the proliferation of rack mount products
showing up in a wide range of commercial, industrial and military markets.
A "Rack Unit" is equal to 1.75" in height. To calculate the internal
useable space of a rack enclosure you would simply multiply the total
amount of Rack Units by 1.75". For example, a 44U rack enclosure would
have 77" of internal usable space (44 x 1.75).
Stealth manufactures computers and peripherals that are designed to fit
into a standard EIA size rack enclosures. Stealth’s Rackmount PC’s, LCD
Monitors and Keyboards are available in many sizes and configurations. The
slim space saving series rack products are available in 1U (1.75”) and 2U
(3.5”) in overall height. Since rack space is at a premium these slim
products represent significant cost savings to the end user. Standard
rackmount products are available in 1U, 2U, 4U, 5U and 6U configurations.
