USING AN ALTO SAXOPHONE WE WILL DESIGN A BRACKET AND A FRAME SYSTEM UPON WHICH WILL BE MOUNTED A SERIES OF ELECTRO-MECHANICAL SOLENOIDS. THE SOLENOIDS WILL BE MOUNTED OVER THE KEYS ON HALF OF THE SAXOPHONE IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO OPERATE THE KEYS INDIVIDUALLY OR IN GROUPS. THE SOLENOIDS WILL BE CONNECTED TO AND ACTIVATED BY A MECHANISM SIMILAR TO A JOYSTICK FROM A VIDEO GAME. ONLY SIX OF THE TERMIN ...

THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS PHASE I WORK ARE TO: DETERMINE THE DESIGN REQUIREMENTS FOR AN EMBEDDED TRAINING SYSTEM. DETERMINE THE MATURITY OF INTELLIGENT TUTORING SYSTEMS FOR INCLUSION IN EMBEDDED TRAINING. DERIVE THE DESIGN FOR AN EMBEDDED TRAINING SYSTEM WHICH INTEGRATES WITH DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY. DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF USING A SIMULATION MODULE IN CONJUNCTION WITH EMBEDDED TRAIN ...

The objective of the proposed work is to develop an electronic stethoscope that enables emergency medical personnel to check vital signs in the presence of high background noise levels. Often physicians in military vehicles and other noisy environments are unable to auscultate. The relevant stethoscope audio signal becomes unintelligible when masked by prohibitively loud noises. The proposed elect ...

Foods are dehydrated to make them more easily packaged and stored at room temperature. The removal of water reduces the opportunity for harmful chemical reactions. Dehydrated food powders and particles are also used in "liquid meals" for dental patients. However, dehydrated foods traditionally have been difficult to rehydrate and are of relatively poor quality. The reasons for these difficulties a ...

To enhance characterization of the propagation path of assorted Army electro-optical and electro-acoustic devices, a detailed understanding of atmospheric conditions near the ground surface is needed. This proposal concentrates on the effects due to the presence of airborne particles. The ground-level aerosol model currently implemented is rather crude and needs to be refined. In the proposed stud ...

In Phase I of this project, we will investigate the feasibility of adding a "real-time" or "near real-time " stereoscopic imaging capability to the armaments radiographic inspection system already in place at Yuma Proving Ground. We will determine the best way to implement rapid, accurate, and cost-effective automated stereoscopic inspection with minimal modifications to existing equipment. We pro ...

TO MEET THE KINETIC ENERGY ANTI-SATELLITE (KE ASAT) REQUIREMENTS FOR TIMELY AND RELIABLE KILL ASSESSMENT, AEROMET PROPOSES TO RECOMMEND INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUES IN REAL-TIME KILL ASSESSMENT SPECTROSCOPY. BECAUSE IT CAN BE CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO ACCURATELY VERIFY SATELLITE ELIMINATION, A KILL ASSESSMENT SYSTEM MUST DISCERN BETWEEN VARIOUS HIT AND MISS PHENOMENA, INCLUDING THE USE OF POTENTIAL COUNTER ...
