In the News (Wed 22 May 13)

  
  Terrorism - Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU)
In addition, the IMU was responsible for a series of car bombings in the Uzbek capital of Tashkent which killed 16 people in 1999, as well as numerous kidnappings, including that of four American mountaineers who escaped after being held for six days in August 2000.
More recently, significant numbers of IMU fighters were involved in the battle in the Shah-I-Kot valley, and there is little doubt that the organization has suffered heavy losses at the hands of U.S. and coalition forces.
Moreover, the IMU's power base lies not in Afghanistan, but in the Ferghana Valley itself, a region the organization has found to be a fertile recruiting ground, largely due to the brutal and counterproductive reprisals of the Karimov regime.

  Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)
The IMU is a single unit in the electronics module which collects angular velocity and linear acceleration data which is sent to the main processor.
This is due to the fact that the two sensors in the IMU are mounted in two different orientations in the housing, along with the fact that the axes of the IMU are not aligned with the vehicle axes.
Using this information, along with knowledge of the orientation with which the IMU is mounted to the wall of the EM allows the formation of a direction cosine matrix that is used to convert the measurements from the IMU coordinate frame to the vehicle coordinate frame.

 Apollo IMU Gimbal Lock
The proper operation of the IMU requires that the gyros mounted on the stable member - the "platform" - generate signals to the gimbal drive servos so that the stable member is kept non-rotating independent of any vehicle rotations.
The level of the output current feedback in the Apollo IMU servo controls these effects adequately so that any concern of base motion angular velocity coupling due to motor voltage is trivial within any conceivable uncontrolled vehicle maneuvers from which recovery is possible.
The IMU alignment accuracy desired in Apollo is a critical design factor in order to achieve the required guidance system performance for the lunar mission.

 Integrated multimedia publishing - combining TV and newspaper content on personal channels
The average IMU session was brief, focusing on a few and fresh articles, and took place in the evening at prime time or in the morning.
The interest shown in IMU during morning hours is actually remarkable, considering that the content to IMU was for the most part updated around noon and, for television, just after the time of the evening newscasts.
As IMU is based on the idea of recycling existing news stories, there is no journalistic input in the traditional sense of the expression.

 Kyrgyzstan: IMU Insight
As IMU leader (Juma) Namangani and his followers advocated the building of such a society, we became convinced that only the Islamic caliphate could drag people out of their economic and spiritual crisis.
I consider myself to be the spiritual instructor of Muslims in the region, so in 1999, when the IMU suddenly appeared in the mountain villages of Batken and said that they were trying to build a just society in Uzbekistan, I joined their ranks along with my family and three brothers.
People rarely joined the IMU in the name of an ideal - it was a step they took mainly because of their poor living conditions.

According to an Interfax news agency report, Mamytov also warned that the IMU was seeking to meld various militant groups active in Central Asia, including Uighur separatists, into a united Islamic Movement of Turkestan.

"The IMU fighters are trapped in the area like rabbits: they are scared to leave their limited un-mined areas," one local resident said.

 IMU Odometry, by David Anderson
The IMU values Pitch (nose up and down) and Roll (tilt left and right) are used in a separate routine by jBot to detect when the robot is approaching dangerously steep angles.
The rate of rotation measured by the IMU and that calculated from the wheel encoders should normally be about the same, irrespective of how the two may drift apart in actual heading determination.
In addition to the use as a navigation aid, the IMU is also useful for detection and recovery from certain critical angles and trapped conditions of the robot.

According to Central Asia observers and officials, the IMU may be planning to mount fresh attacks on regional and Western interests.
While Phillimore says her Uzbek sources do not report much visible change in the pace or volume of IMU recruiting, many experts say that the presence (and sometimes the behavior) of American soldiers in the region has failed to improve local citizens’ lives and may lead some Uzbeks and Kyrgyz to take more radical stands.
According to one expert, IMU operatives escaped Afghanistan in the fall of 2001 by flying to Pakistan, where they are currently "regrouping." If this report is right, Pakistan may be on the list of American allies that IMU leaders intend to attack in coming months.
