Conflict Kinetics will develop an innovative new technology, the “Elevated Ocular Tactical Conditioning” (EOTC) system, for firearms training. The Conflict Kinetics’ EOTC utilizes a three-step training methodology that will mathematically prove that the soldier of today sees, reacts, and shoots targets with small arms weapons at around one-third his or her natural potential. This small arm ...

NASA aerocapture missions require an accurate evaluation of radiative thermal transport in order to simulate the aerothermal environment around space vehicles. However, present day computation of radiative transport in this complex multi-dimensional environment is frequently done using simple one-dimensional tangent-slab approximations or optically-thick approximations which compromise the accura ...

Unable to read or interpret written text can pose major problems for people in many circumstances, and Rosetta Phone is a system that will aid in interpreting this written text. The objective of this research project is to develop a complete system investigating both hardware platforms and software programming environments capable of real-time, autonomous, visual interpretation of written text. ...

The promise of formal methods to eliminate design errors in safety critical systems is realizable, however, much of the technology remains academic or removed from current engineering practice. At Derivation Systems, Inc. we believe that in over for formal methods to reach their full potential, a formal design tool must support the generative and deductive aspects of design. We also believe that f ...
