Standard U.S. Navy fiber optic assemblies require that the fiber be bonded to the connector using an adhesive that is labor intensive and heat controlled (MIL-A-24792). Advanced Material Systems (AMS) proposes a study that could solve this problem through the development of an adhesive system that would cure at room temperature in less that 3 minutes and yet meet all of the in-service req ...

A compact lightweight electronic device will desalinate sea water for drinking. The process is based on capacitive deionization of water. The process can be compared with charging a capacitor. The device will consume very little current. The technical approach is different from ion exchange techniques. It is completely different from an activated charcoal system, in the sense that ionic contam ...

MARBLE ASSOCIATES, INC., PROPOSES TO DEVELOP A COMMAND EDITOR TO RUN UNDER NEXTSTEP, MOTIF, AND OPEN WINDOWS. THIS TOOL WILL ALLOW USERS TO CUSTOMIZE THE MENUS AND COMMAND-KEY EQUIVALENTS USED WITHIN APPLICATIONS TO SUIT THEIR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS AND TO CONSTRUCT PALETTES OF FREQUENTLY USED COMMANDS. IT WILL INTEGRATE SEAMLESSLY WITH VARIOUS DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENTS, ENABLING DEVELOPERS TO ADD THIS F ...

We proposed to integrate second generation infrared thermography, real time image analysis and patient information stored in a medical database into the risk assessment for breast cancer patients, detection and diagnosis of breast cancer and prognostic determination for breast cancer patients. Previous attempts to use first generation thermographic instruments showed that the results were applica ...

Inverse Beamforming (IBF) active acoustic processing and analysis concepts are presented to identify the environmental acoustic parameters that degrade active acoustic sonar performance in shallow water due to time dependent multipath arrivals. A fully coupled normal mode model is proposed to be used with measured data to identify environmental parameters that adversely impact active sonar perform ...

The objective of this project is to explore the potential for generator set size and weight reduction through the use of integrated power components. Components of the generator system will include a lightweight, high frequency alternator (HFA) coupled with power frequency conversion (PFC) components to produce high-quality, MIL-STD, 60 hertz power. The generator system will include controls tha ...

Standard Object Systems proposes to create a set of standard objects for visual programming languages and environments. Visual programming with standard objects allows a programmer to graphically specify computational, logical, and interface requirements using icons that are graphically linked and hierarchically grouped to form new software objects. We have developed software tools that transfor ...

Standard Object Systems, Inc. proposes the adaptati on of its Standard Objects for Phonetic Speech Recognition software to the development of a Software Package for Speaker Independent or Dependent Continuous Speech Recognition. This application supports both speaker independent and dependent connected word recognition with adaptation to multi lingual and multi accent envir ...
