A spokesperson indicated that ULA will change some aspects of the Delta II system once the current Medium Launch Vehicle 3 contract with the Air Force ends and requirements imposed by the contract are lifted.

The ULA controlled memory access and was able to provide 32K × 8 bits of addressable RAM using 4 × 64K × 1-bit RAM chips ( 4164 ).

However on September 30, 2011, NASA modified the NASA Launch Services II ( NLS-II ) contract to allow for the continuing order of Delta II launchers in agreement with ULA.

On February 2, 2010 NASA awarded ULA $ 6. 7 million in stimulus funds under the Commercial Crew Development ( CCDev ) program.

ULA won a 2010 small contract of in the first phase of the NASA Commercial Crew Development Program ( CCDev ) to develop an Emergency Detection System ( EDS ) for human-rating the Atlas V launch vehicle.

NASA solicited proposals for CCDev in October 2010, under which ULA made a proposal for funding to " finish designing a key safety system for potential commercial crew launches on its Atlas and Delta rocket fleet.

On July 18, 2011 NASA and ULA announced an agreement on the possibility of certifying the Atlas V to NASA's " human-rating " standards.

The hardware of the BBC Micro was emulated by a single customized ULA chip designed by Acorn in conjunction with Ferranti.

Following the incident and arrest of the ULA members and Miller ( whom Ryan nearly executes with his Browning Hi Power ), Ryan is re-assigned to London as a member of a liaison group to the British Secret Intelligence Service.

Although he does not appear in Patriot Games, it is later revealed that he was the CIA's liaison with a French black ops unit involved in the campaign against the ULA.

While the successor ZX81 used a semi-custom chip ( a ULA or Uncommitted Logic Array ), this merely combined the functions of the earlier hardware onto a single chip — the hardware and system programs ( except the BASIC versions ) were very similar, with the only significant difference being the NMI-generator necessary for slow mode in the ZX81.

Some versions of ZX81 / Timex Sinclair 1000 used just four chips ( ULA, 2Kx8 RAM, 8Kx8 ROM, Z80A CPU ) to implement an entire mass-market personal computer with built-in BASIC interpreter.

It was actually a standard 600-gate ULA with a VDC program that allowed for two graphic video modes, high-res ( 512x256, monochrome ) and low-res ( 256x256, 4 colors ), and supported hardware vertical scrolling.

It replaced the earlier machine's ZX81-like case with a ZX Spectrum-like case ( in Silver ), the same ZX Spectrum rubber keyboard, a custom ULA ( it does not have the Ferranti ULA ) and increased the onboard RAM to 16 KB.

Phi Iota Alpha sponsored the 1932 convention in New York City with the purpose of forming the Union Latino Americana ( ULA ) with hopes of expanding its ideals internationally.

The ULA organized Latin America into 22 zones with each of the 21 Latin American countries constituting a zone, and Phi Iota Alpha representing the 22nd zone in the United States.

A gate array or uncommitted logic array ( ULA ) is an approach to the design and manufacture of application-specific integrated circuits ( ASICs ), using a prefabricated chip with active devices like AND-gates etc.

Ryan saves the ( unnamed ) Prince and Princess of Wales, along with their newborn firstborn son, from a fictional Irish terrorist group, the Ulster Liberation Army ( ULA ), by incapacitating one of the terrorists, taking his semi-automatic pistol and shooting another during a kidnapping attempt on the London Mall.

The ULA debated with those who attended about what they perceive to be the irrelevancy and lack of integrity of the current realm of corporate / academia-sponsored literature.

Microdigital did some reverse engineering to develop a CMOS integrated circuit ( IC ) with similar functionality to the original Bipolar IC ULA from Sinclair / Ferranti.

The modulator was tuned to VHF channel 3 and the TV system was hardware selectable to PAL-M ( 60 Hz ) as used in Brazil, PAL-N ( 50 Hz ) as used in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay and NTSC ( 60 Hz ) as used in USA and many other countries, versatility of features the ZX Spectrum never had ** ( Was discover an original ZX Spectrum with NTSC video output in Chile, The ULA is a model 6C011E-3 which generates a NTSC frame size and rate )

The TK 82C ( the C letter stands for " Científico ", or Scientific in English ) was replaced by the TK 83 ( it used a ULA similar chip, as the original ZX81 ) and by the TK 85 ( a 16 KB RAM version with a case similar to ZX-Spectrum ), more robust and with a better design.

) After ceasing publication of his zine New Philistine, Wenclas returned to writing at the urging of fellow underground zinesters Michael Jackman and Steve Kostecke, both of whom founded the ULA with Wenclas in 2000.

While the ULA would read the display from memory in the usual fashion, the SAA5050 would listen to the data it was reading and produce a mode 7 interpretation of the same information.

The disadvantage to this system is that while the SAA5050 would expect to be repeatedly fed the same 40 bytes of data for every display scanline of each character row, the ULA would read a different set of 40 bytes for every display scanline in order to produce a full graphics display.

Pushing down on the metal cover to reseat the ULA was normally sufficient to rectify these issues.

Also, some address ranges are considered special, such as link-local addresses for use on the local link only, Unique Local addresses ( ULA ) as described in RFC 4193, and solicited-node multicast addresses used in the Neighbor Discovery Protocol.

When O ' Donnell and the ULA spring Miller on his way to Albany Prison ( killing both police officers and civilians in the process ), Ryan and his family become the target of their revenge — particularly Miller's.

He declines initially, only to accept it later after a failed attack on himself and his family by the ULA severely injures his wife and daughter.

Later, while Ryan hosts the Prince and Princess of Wales at his home in Maryland, the ULA make a second attack on the Ryans, which is foiled by Jack, the Prince, and Commander Robert Jackson, USN.

Although ULA has an extensive launch manifest for future Centaur flights, ULA has been working on an upper stage design concept that would bring the Delta and Centaur stages together into a single new cryogenic second stage design.

In October 2009, the Air Force and United Launch Alliance ( ULA ) performed an experimental on-orbit demonstration on a modified Centaur upper stage on the DMSP-18 launch to improve " understanding of propellant settling and slosh, pressure control, RL10 chilldown and RL10 two-phase shutdown operations.

Based on ULA chip K1801VP1-035 ( and later on K1801VP1-065 ), the adapter was compatible to DEC DL-11 and KL-11 serial interfaces, but without modem control bits.

ULA had previously indicated that it had " around half a dozen " unsold Delta II rockets on hand.

The unit contained a ULA which worked on a WRITE command from the microprocessor, a ROM containing the keyword speech patterns, and an SP0256-AL2 speech processor.

Rick Moody was on the NEA panel, and the ULA contested that this was an example of the literati insularly awarding each other.

" The ULA also reported the connection between the CIA and Matthiessen, in May, 2005, in an article by Richard Cummings, who has described himself as " a member of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers, having served on the Board of the AFIO-New England chapter.

" The ULA article also went on to allege that The Paris Review exercised covert influence over the London Review of Books.

* United Launch Alliance ( ULA )-Delta IV And Atlas V

Beginning in 2010, ULA did design and simulation work to human-rate the Atlas V for carrying passengers.

All Atlas V launches are now managed by United Launch Alliance, a joint-venture between Lockheed Martin and Boeing ( IDS / Defense, Space & Security / Launch Services ) formed in December 2006, with all commercial Atlas V launches sub-contracted for ULA by LMCLS.
