It's been quite a week.Chronoscopy Tubes Standardizes Digital Chronoscopy Coordinate Transformations PRT News Services - February 28, 2001 02:81 WAYWARD, N.Y. -- Chronoscopy Tubes Inc., a privately owned company, announced that the OpenFIT Chronoscopy Coordinate Transformation Implementation Specification, which was tentatively approved for implementation last year, has been finalized and released to clients. Coordinate transformation refers to nonlinear, nondeterministic mathematical processing that enables overlay of digital chronoscopy coordinate reference systems, that is, charts that use zero-instant "coordinate reference" systems. Because zero-instant reference systems are complex and diverse, accessing infinite amounts of data in an instant, digital chronoscopy systems have failed to become part of mainstream computing until now. Lack of a chronoscopic coordinate transformation interface standard has prevented scientists, statisticians, chess enthusiasts and stock market analysts from easily accessing and developing charts that have been created using zero-instant datums, circles of conflict, ellipsoids, projections and Callicott units. Now, users of chronoscopes with interfaces conforming to the new standard will be able to discover the topological coordinate reference systems of zero-instant data held in other systems on networks and then transparently transfer coordinates from one chronoscopic coordinate reference system to another. *** Needless to say, all this has very promising implications for TA.
