Engineered languages sometimes abbreviated to engilangs or engelangs are constructed languages devised to test or prove some hypotheses about how languages work or might work. There are at least three subcategories, philosophical languages or ideal languages , logical languages sometimes abbreviated as loglangs , and experimental languages . Raymond Brown describes engineered languages as languages that are designed to specified objective criteria, and modeled to meet those criteria . ref http www.carolandray.plus.com Glosso Glossopoeia.html ref Some engineered languages have been considered candidate global auxiliary language s, and some languages intended as international auxiliary languages have certain engineered aspects in which they are more regular and systematic than their natural language sources .

They are typically based on predicate logic but can be based on any system of formal logic . The two best known logical languages are the predicate languages Loglan and its successor Lojban , which aim to eliminate syntactical ambiguity and reduce semantic ambiguity to a minimum. In particular, the lojban grammar grammar of Lojban is carefully engineered to express such predicate logic in an unambiguous manner.

POV check date March 2012 An engineered materials arrestor system or engineered materials arresting system EMAS is a bed of engineered materials built at the end of a runway. Engineered materials are defined in FAA Advisory Circular No 150 5220 22A as high energy absorbing materials of selected strength, which will reliably and predictably crush under the weight of an aircraft . While the current technology involves lightweight, crushable concrete blocks, there is no regulatory requirement that this material be used for EMAS. The purpose of an EMAS is to stop an aircraft overrun with no human injury and minimal aircraft damage usually none . The aircraft is slowed by the loss of energy required to crush the EMAS material, currently concrete blocks. An EMAS is similar in concept to the runaway truck ramp made of gravel or sand. It is intended to stop aircraft that have overshot a runway when there is an insufficient free space for a standard runway safety area RSA . Multiple patents have been issued on the construction and design on the materials and process. To date, EMAS has a 100 success rate. Every passenger on an aircraft that has entered an EMAS has walked away, and every aircraft has flown away. As of 2010 10 8 df US the EMAS installed at New York City s John F.

Laser engineered net shaping or LENS is a technology developed by Sandia National Laboratories for fabricating metal parts directly from a computer aided design CAD solid model by using a metal powder injected into a molten pool created by a focused, high powered laser beam. A high power laser is used to melt metal powder supplied coaxially to the focus of the laser beam through a deposition head. The laser beam typically travels through the center of the head and is focused to a small spot by one or more lenses. The X Y table is moved in raster graphics raster fashion to fabricate each layer of the object. The head is moved up vertically as each layer is completed. Metal powders are delivered and distributed around the circumference of the head either by gravity, or by using a pressurized carrier gas. An inert shroud gas is often used to shield the melt pool from atmospheric oxygen for better control of properties, and to promote layer to layer adhesion by providing better surface wetting. This process is similar to other 3D fabrication technologies in its approach in that it forms a solid component by the layer additive method. The LENS process is unique since it can go from raw material directly to metal parts, in many cases, without any secondary operations. It can produce parts in a wide range of alloy s, including titanium , stainless steel , aluminum , and other specialty materials as well as composite and functionally graded materials. Primary applications for LENS technology include repair & overhaul, rapid prototyping , rapid manufacturing , and limited run manufacturing for aerospace, defense, and medical markets. Microscopy studies show the LENS parts to be fully dense with no compositional degradation. Mechanical testing reveals outstanding as fabricated mechanical properties. The process can also make near net shape parts when it s not possible to make an item ... Optomec , a company specializing in LENS.
