THE ASSOCIATED CORPORATION PROPOSES TO INVESTIGATE AN INTERRELATED THREE-PART KNOWLEDGE BASED SYSTEM HAVING A NATURAL LANGUAGE INTERPRETER, AN EXPERT SYSTEM ANALYZER AND A NATURAL LANGUAGE GENERATOR. TECHNIQUES USING A LEXICALLY/SEMANTICALLY/FUNCTIONALLY FOCUSED DICTIONARY, PARSER, ANALYSER WHICH TAKES ADVANTAGE OF REPETITIVE LEXICAL STRINGS ARE PROPOSED FOR NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING. INVESTIGAT ...

"We propose a directional, broadband, highly efficient underwater acoustic transducer using a baffled cylinder made out from piezoelectric single crystals. The prospective application areas will be for an underwater acoustic modem communication andAutonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV), in which high efficiency of the transducer system is required due to the limited energy availability (battery) an ...

"This proposal is for the development of a high sensitivity pressure gradient acoustic motion sensor (accelerometer) of the flexural plate type using piezoelectric single crystals. The pressure gradient acoustic motion sensor is based on flexural plateelements operating below resonance in the accelerometer mode. The high piezoelectric coefficients for single crystals is ideal for increasing the ...

"Coprime proposes to investigate the applicability of learning-based source separation methodologies to the problem of multiple targets in a complex acoustic environment. The Phase I effort will focus on identifying viable learning-based source separationalgorithms specifically tuned to the multiple combat vehicle scenario. A prototype architecture will be developed and numerical software rapidly ...

THIS STUDY INVESTIGATES THE FEASIBILITY AND SUITABILITY OF APPLYING A COMPOSITE STRUCTURE TO ENCLOSE ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT IN SUBMARINES. THE PROPERTIES OF THE STRUCTURE THAT ARE INVESTIGATED IN GREATEST DETAIL ARE WEIGHT AND VOLUMETRIC EFFICIENCY. SECONDARY INFLUENCES CONSIDERED AND QUANTIFIED ARE SHIP CONSTRUCTION EFFORT, TIME TO TEST ELECTRONICS, PERFORMANCE UNDER SHOCK LOADING AND CHARACTERISTI ...

THIS STUDY INVESTIGATES THE FEASIBILITY AND SUITABILITY OF APPLYING A MODULAR COMPOSITE STRUCTURE TO HOUSE AND SUPPORT TORPEDO-TUBE LAUNCHED WEAPONS IN SUBMARINES. THE PROPERTIES OF THE STRUCTURE THAT ARE INVESTIGATED IN GREATEST DETAIL ARE WEIGHT AND VOLUMETRIC EFFICIENCY. SECONDARY INFLUENCES CONSIDERED AND QUANTIFIED ARE PERFORMANCE UNDER SHOCK LOADING AND CHARACTERISTICS OF VIBRATION DAMPING A ...

THE PROPOSED PROGRAM OFFERS AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH FOR PROTECTING A BATTLE GROUP FROM ATTACKS BY ADVANCED ANTI-SHIP MISSILES. SPACIALLY DISTRIBUTED COUNTERMEASURES, OF VARIOUS TYPES, ARE DEPLOYED IN A COORDINATED MANNER SO AS TO COUNTER ALL PHASES AND ASPECTS OF THREAT MISSILE WEAPON SYSTEMS. THESE COORDINATED COUNTERMEASURES TECHNIQUES ARE APPLIED SEQUENTUALLY AND THEIR EFFECTIVENESS AGAINST EACH ...

"Recent advances in remote sensing technologies through the availability of more sensitive instruments, and improvements in geo-location technologies and analysis software have resulted in significant strides in the successful application of high resolutionremote sensing to feature identification such as soil disturbances. These strides have been achieved by field-oriented remote sensing experts, ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP A VACCINE DELIVERY SYSTEM WHICH WILL STIMULATE, RAPIDLY, A STATE OF NON-SPECIFIC PROTECTION WHILE IT ENHANCES THE SPECIFIC IMMUNE RESPONSE TO THE VACCINE AND SHORTENS THE INDUCTION PERIOD FOR DEVELOPMENT OF SPECIFIC IMMUNITY. THIS WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED BY PREPARING THE VACCINE IN AN OILIN-WATER EMULSION THAT CONTAINS NON-TOXIC IMMUNOSTIMULATORS OF MICROBI ...
