...suggests the way out of the gloomy muddle that jazz has fallen into." > Larry Coryell, 24, guitarist in the Gary Burton Quartet. Coryell builds exciting, unpredictable solos with clusters of freshly turned chords, tantalizing silences, sudden vaulting runs leading into intense twangings, and the carefully manipulated drone of feedback from his amplifier. Through it all run echoes of the blues and country music he learned as a boy in Texas, the rock he played with a group called the Free Spirits, even the gypsy airs of the late Django Reinhardt. A dropout from the University of Washington (where...
...agile four-legged "quadruped" truck that is being developed by General Electric for travel over rough terrain, the driver controls the vehicle's front legs with hand-operated levers; the rear legs are moved by the driver's own legs, which are strapped into control braces. Feedback circuits allow the driver to "feel" the traction on the ground beneath...
...example, he would reach his arm toward a knob on a duplicate of the spacecraft's instrument panel. His every motion would be translated into electronic signals and transmitted to the telefactor in orbit. Servomechanisms on the telefactor would move its arm toward the actual spacecraft control panel. Feedback devices on the telefactor's hands would enable the earthbound operator to feel just how strong a grasp they were exerting-allowing the robot to make adjustments without exerting damaging pressure on delicate instruments. Using the same system, Bradley says, a telefactor could work outside the ship, assembling solar...
...feedback from advisers, who rotate back to Cambridge every two or three years, is increasing the DAS's academic contributions. Last year, one adviser returned; this year, three; next year, seven. About 22 short-term advisers go out for three months and provide a more immediate feedback into teaching and research...
Results of the tests would not be pinpointed by school districts or by states; thus no single teacher would have any feedback on the performance of the one or two pupils from her class likely to be tested. This, Carnegie contends, means that no "invidious comparisons" would result, and no teacher would be under pressure to "teach for the tests." But the broad-brush group results could provide some facts which might help resolve the endless arguments on how well, or poorly, the schools are doing...
