In 1989 a two-year study began regarding possible mid-life upgrades for the USAF's and European Partner Air Forces' (EPAF's) F-16A/Bs. The resulting F-16 Mid-Life Update (MLU) package was designed to upgrade the cockpit and avionics to the equivalent of that on the F-16C/D Block 50/52; add the ability to employ radar-guided air-to-air missiles; and to generally enhance the operational performance and improve the reliability, supportability and maintainability of the aircraft. Aircraft receiving this set of updates are designated F-16AM or F-16BM.
Development began in May 1991 and continued until 1997; however, the USAF withdrew from the MLU program in 1992, although it did procure the modular mission computer for its Block 50/52 aircraft.
The first of five prototype conversions flew on 28 April 1995, and installation of production kits began in January 1997. The original plans called for the production of 553 kits (110 for Belgium, 63 for Denmark, 172 for the Netherlands, 57 for Norway, and 130 for the USAF), however, final orders amounted to only 325 kits (72 for Belgium, 61 for Denmark, 136 for the Netherlands, and 56 for Norway). The EPAFs redesignated the F-16A/B aircraft receiving the MLU as F-16AM/BM, respectively. Portugal later joined the program and the first of 20 aircraft was redelivered on 26 June 2003, with another 20 going through the update incountry at this time. In recent years, Chile, Jordan, and Pakistan have purchased surplus Dutch and Belgian F-16AM/BM for their air forces.
Development of new software and hardware modifications continues under the MLU program. The M3 software tape was installed in parallel with the Falcon STAR structural upgrade to bring the F-16AM/BM up to the standards of the USAF's Common Configuration Implementation Program (CCIP). A total of 296 M3 kits (72 for Belgium, 59 for Denmark, 57 for Norway, and 108 for the Netherlands) were ordered for delivery from 2002–2007; installation is anticipated to be completed in 2010. A M4 tape has also been developed that adds the ability to use additional weapons and the Pantera targeting pod; Norway began conducting flying combat operations in Afghanistan with these upgraded aircraft in 2008. A M5 tape is in development that will enable employment of a wider array of the latest smart weapons, and the first aircraft upgraded with it are due to be delivered in 2009.

Having had his interest in aviation sparked by being at the receiving end of B-24s bombing occupied France when he was 7-yr old, René Francillon turned aviation into both his vocation and avocation. Most of his professional career was in the United States, working for major aircraft manufacturers and airport planning/design companies. All along, he kept developing a second career as an aviation historian, an activity that led him to author more than 50 books and 400 articles published in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and elsewhere. Far from “hanging on his spurs,” he plans to remain active as an author well into his eighties.-------PLEASE TAG this image with any information you know about it, so that we can permanently store this data with the original image file in our Digital Asset Management System.--------------SOURCE INSTITUTION: San Diego Air and Space Museum Archive
Veridean Dynamics does not rest in our neighborhood. They are out there every day, seemingly non-stop. I meant to get a shot of the spray paint on top of new snow, but I think this is kink of cool, with three layers meeting, as the snow melts from between the layers of spray paint.
As I walked along the road, above the canyon floor, I noticed how dynamic the low light was on the river... it seemed to just be illuminating the river and the canyon floor while leaving the canyon walls in a bit of shadow. So I set up shop, fired off some ultra-wide shots for the foreground and sky, and ended up with this vertorama!

When the head smooths its motion path the nominal laser intensity needs to be adjusted accordingly. It turns out a linear mapping is too aggressive so we started playing with a exponential one that can be adjusted for how much diminution is applied.
y=x^2*d+(1-d)
y ... dynamics factor
x ... slowdown percentage
d ... severity of diminution
for d = 0 the lasersaur runs at constant power
for d > 0.8 diminution is more aggresive than linear.
Dynamics revolutionary hardware. From presentation by young inventor, Jeff Mullen.
"Card 2.0® is a paper-thin, flexible computer platform in a payment card form factor. The device is designed to be as thin, flexible, and durable as a traditional payment card and last over three years on a single battery charge. The device includes a number of peripheral management circuits that are directed to power management, timing, and control. Accordingly, a number of peripherals may be added to the platform - such as buttons, to allow a user to enter information into the card, and displays, to allow users to receive information from the card."
Today was an excitement filled day! I got to have a play with non-newtonian fluid [basically corn flour suspension]. There was a genuine reason for this! I'm hoping to produce a scheme for my project [a music centre] where the shell of the building reacts to the sounds to produce a visual representation of the music.
Corn flour suspension, when gently played with has a liquid form, however more forceful actions cause cohesion between the particles. What this means is that if you put it on top of a speaker and resonate it at 80hz, it becomes a life like organic creature that responds to the sound! Very cool!

A growing literature has documented that firm dynamics exhibit substantial differences in developed and developing countries. While there is a massive turnover of firms in developed countries, such a selection mechanism is largely absent in developing countries. Understanding the determinants of firm growth, factor reallocation, and firm-level productivity, as well as the link between firm and industry dynamics is key to shed light on performances of aggregate economies. This conference will have prominent researchers present their recent work on the subject and foster a conversation among scholars that use different approaches to understand firm and industry dynamics and their aggregate implications.
