The award is made possible by a contribution from the Max Bentele Foundation.

This standard defines the Foundation subject area of the CDIF Integrated Meta-model. This subject area contains the basic objects on which all other objects, including those defined using extensibility, must be based.

The foundations for animation are examined in light of Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals Inc. In this case the Frye general acceptance rule was rejected by the Supreme Court. The result is that the foundations for scientific testimony have again come under debate, which means that animations will be judged under new criteria. Several case studies are presented in view of this new precedent.

For the Model Year 1988 Chrysler Corporation was successful in introducing an effective Data Communications Class of Vehicle Multiplexing that reduced the average vehicle cost. ...Based on this concept a full vehicle multiplex network proliferated into most of Chrysler's product line. Success in vehicle multiplexing can be attributed to the extremely low component cost and the outstanding flexibility in the C2D multiplexing system. ...Presently Chrysler is replacing this system with the SAE J1850 Standard Data Communications Network. Chrysler and Harris Engineers were able to demonstrate significant improvements in performance and system cost.

Among the essential Just-In-Time components of predictability, quality, communications, and cost effectiveness runs the common thread of discipline. Chrysler Corporation recognizes this need and has developed an organizational structure designed to develop the needed level of discipline. ...Chrysler Corporation recognizes this need and has developed an organizational structure designed to develop the needed level of discipline. Chrysler's organizational structure is composed of two committees: an executive committee and an operating committee.

THIS paper describes the Chrysler TorqueFlite transmission, a 3-speed unit with torque converter. The discussion includes details of the push-button controls of the automatic transmission, operation of the transmission and hydraulic controls, power transmission through the gearbox, and design of several of the components.

The Chrysler wind tunnel is a closed-circuit, single-return, semiopen jet facility used for performing engine cooling, transmission cooling, engine compartment airflow, underhood component temperature, air-conditioning, and other types of tests.

Chrysler Corporation is currently using the formidable speed and memory capacity of the CYBER 205 computer to increase productivity in several of its engineering and design applications.

Chrysler Corporation has developed an 8.0-liter engine for light truck applications. Numerous features combine to produce the highest power and torque ratings of any gasoline-fueled light truck engine currently available while also providing commensurate durability.

A turbocharged version of the 2.4L engine has been developed by the Chrysler Group of DaimlerChrysler Corporation. This new engine is derived from the proven 2.4L 4-cylinder, with significant changes to achieve a durable, high performance package for the PT Cruiser vehicle.

In 1957 Chrysler Defense Engineering began the development of an aerial jeep vehicle. Within security limitations, this paper discusses the progress made thus far on the project. ...While the Chrysler aerial jeep may outwardly resemble others currently under development, the similarity is only superficial.

THE design and construction of the PowerFlite automatic transmission are described by the authors. It is of the torque converter type, some models being water-cooled, while others are direct air cooled. Details of the hydraulic controls are explained, including the one-piece shift valve and the shuttle valve for controlling closed-throttle shifts. It is claimed that this transmission has relative simplicity, light weight, and smoothness of operation.

In the late 1940s a series of three laboratory fatigue tests for development of passenger car and light truck road wheels was experimentally developed. Each of these tests evaluate specific portions of the wheels and thereby reduce development time by allowing more concentrated effort. Rim and disc tests are performed by loading the test wheel through a tire against a drum to duplicate abusive wheel loadings on a vehicle. The value of these tests has been confirmed by good correlation between laboratory and proving grounds testing as predicted in the development of the test. Additional laboratory and vehicle wheel tests are also described. This family of tests is used for development of new wheel designs and not for production quality control testing.

A new compact, attractively styled, light weight, high performance sterndrive has been developed to meet future needs of boat builders and consumers. This drive incorporates a new patented “inverted yoke” suspension system that provides excellent steering and handling characteristics. A new patent protected self-energizing cone clutch and novel shift mechanism produces smooth, quiet shifting in a very compact package. The new and unique above-cavitation plate exhaust provides increased reverse thrust and low level exhaust noise. Other features include ease of installation, good fuel economy, and overall superior performance.
