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 ...

Waves and resulting surf play key roles in coastal processes andin affecting many activities including military operations.During successful Phase I research addressing the Office of NavalResearch (ONR) SBIR Topic N98-134,

The proposed effort focuses upon exploring the potential of a combination of neural, wavelet, and fuzzy logic processing to yield significant performance improvements needed for future seeker scene processors. Seeker scene processors must rapidly process images to detect and classify objects such as tanks on the ground, aircraft in flight, or ships at sea. The problem of detecting and classifyin ...

This project will explore the potential of neural network and wavelet algorithms to yield significant performance improvements needed for future acoustic detection and classification systems. Future systems must automatically recognize complex acoustic signatures in realistic environments. Neural and wavelet algorithms open new possibilities for designing sonar systems by offering the poten ...

This proposal is to complete the detailed design and construct aprototype of theWeighted Oceanographic Registration Mine (WORM). The Mine isdesigned to beautonomously deployed for periods of up to 90 days. During thattime, it willinstrument and record data on acoustic energy, seismic events,burial of the mine,water flow in the vicinity of the mine, water pressure, attitude,orientation,and various ...

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 ...

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 ...

The number of electrical/electronic devices in heavy-duty vehicles are increasing rapidly. Many of these devices require a "clean" source of power, which may theoretically be supplied by a separate ground. Currently, tractors operate on one of three grounding methods, the frame ground being the most common. However, the introduction of a separate ground into the trailer could lead to serious gr ...
