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 ...

Military personnel are vulnerable to many biological agents, such as bacteria, bacterial toxins and viruses, in the field. These agents must be detected rapidly to allow prompt treatment of infected personnel. These agents may be detected using either immunological (antibody-antigen) or genomic (DNA) diagnostics. Such techniques as ELISA, latex bead agglutination kits or radio-labeled probes 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Standard Object Systems, Inc. proposes the adaptation of its Standard Objects for Phonetic Speech Recognition software for the development of a language based speech recognition module that will enable efficient speech communications with a computer. The module will be a generic phonetic speech recognition system based on the international phonetic alphabet. It will support both discrete word re ...

PARAMETERS REQUIRED FOR ESTIMATING RANGE PERFORMANCE WILL BE DEFINED AND METHOD FOR OBTAINING SUCH PARAMETERS FROM MODELS AND MEASUREMENTS WILL BE IDENTIFIED. PROPAGATING EFFECTS WILL BE INCORPORATED IN LOCKUP TABLES, AND MODIFIED GRAFTING INTERPOLATION ALGORITHMS WILL PROVIDE THE PROPAGATION INFORMATION. THIS WILL BE INCORPORATED IN AN INTELLIGENT OBJECT-ORIENTED DATABASE UTILIZING EXPERT SYSTEM, ...

SEVERAL CONCEPTS ARE PROPOSED FOR LOCOMOTIVE CAB ALERTERS THAT CAN BE RETROFITTED TO ALERTER SYSTEMS ALREADY IN SERVICE. THE CONCEPTS INCLUDE A TOUCH SCREEN, WHICH REQUIRES TOUCHING A TARGET TO RESET THE TIMER OR TO RESPOND TO THE ALERTER LIGHT PROMPT. THE INITIAL LOCATION OF THE TARGET ON THE SCREEN IS AUTOMATICALLY SELECTED AT RANDOM. ANOTHER CONCEPT IS THE USE OF A TELEPHONE KEYPAD WITH LCD, WH ...
