This project develops a nutrition program, MenuChoice©, for community-based group homes for persons with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD). Adults with IDD experience poorer nutritional health and more nutrition-related secondary conditions than adults without disabilities. These conditions are preventable and modifiable through a safe, healthful diet, but multiple challenges precl ...

This SBIR project will develop a distributed sensor network framework capable of synchronous/asynchronous automatic modulation classification (AMC) in a non-cooperative communication environment where the received signal is unknown and weak. During the Phase I of this effort, we will focus our attention to synchronous/asynchronous AMC based on a distributed decision fusion network using parallel f ...

AN INERTIAL TRACKING SYSTEM, CONSISTING OF SUBMINIATURE LINEAR ACCELEROMETERS AND RATE SENSORS USED TO QUANTIFY THE SIX DEGREE OF FREEDOM RESPONSE OF A RIGID, TEST EQUIPMENT BASED COORDINATE SYSTEM IS DESCRIBED. THIS DATA WILL BE USED TO SUPPLEMENT PRESENTLY OBTAINED PHOTOGRAPHIC INFORMATION. SENSOR REQUIREMENTS ARE OUTLINED IN DETAIL AND APPLICABILITY OF EXISTING INSTRUMENTATION PACKAGES IS DISCU ...

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 ...

A PALM-SIZED KEYING UNIT HAS BEEN DESIGNED AND BUILT BY US WHICH RESPONDS TO COMBINED THUMB AND FINGER MOTIONS. IN THE PROTOTYPE NOW UNDER DEVELOPMENT, THIS HANDHELD UNIT 9X7X1.5 CM ITSELF CONTAINS A POWERFUL 64180 MICROPROCESSOR WHICH, INADDITION TO READING AND DECODING THUMB-AND FINGER-POSITION INPUT, CAN RUN AT CLOCK SPEEDS (8MHZ) COMPATIBLE WITH THE RECREATION OF HIGH-QUALITY SPEECH FROM DIGIT ...

AN APPROACH TO THE DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND FABRICATION OF A HIGH PRESSURE MICROSCOPE STAGE WITH FACILITIES FOR A TEMPERATURE RANGE OF MINUS 60 DEGREE CENTIGRADE TO PLUS 60 DEGREE CENTIGRADE IS DESCRIBED. THIS DESIGN IS EXPECTED TO ACHIEVE A MAXIMUM PRESSURE OF 20,000 PSI AND REQUIRE A SAMPLE VOLUME OF LESS THAN 100 ULITER. THE USEFUL OPTICAL SPECTRAL RANGE WILL COVER THE VISIBLE TO NEAR INFRARED. ...

GALLIUM ARSENIDE (GAAS) IMPATT DIODES HAVE GENERATED MORE RF POWER AND HIGHER CONVERSION EFFICIENCIES BOTH IN THE PULSED AND CONTINUOUS WAVE OPERATING MODE AND DEMONSTRATED BETTER RADIATION HARDENING, THAN ANY OTHER EHF SOLID STATE POWER GENERATING DEVICE. HISTORICALLY, SUBSTANTIAL DIFFICULTIES HAVE CONFRONTED THE IMPATT DEVICE MANUFACTURERS IN ACHIEVING THEORETICAL PREDICTED PERFORMANCES WITH GOO ...
