The goal of this research project is to determine the viability of an interconnect and probing technology which could be used to test and burn-in unpackaged semiconductors at system level speed, and at operating frequency, with voltage and with temperature margins verified. The focus of the research will be to address directly the most costly limitation to widespread MCM use; the problem of readil ...

We propose to demonstrate the feasibility of fabricating a phototransistor using the A1xGa1-xN material system. The proposed phototransitor is based on a GaN-A1xGa1-xN heterojunction which exhibits a 2-D electron gas conduction when a bias is applied on the source-drain terminals. The device is maintained in a nominally OFF state by applying a reverse bias voltage on the gate terminal. With optica ...

An opportunity exists to develop a comprehensive model of the kinematics of a short-arm centrifuge, models of human physiologic response during centrifugation, and evaluation of techniques for balancing the torques created during operation of a short-arm centrifuge. The proposed Phase I program will include a detailed review of the literature, the synthesis and solution of a general mathematical m ...

An opportunity exists to develop a comprehensive model of the Aviator's Breathing System (ABS) which mathematically describes the dynamics of respiratory gas exchange in breathing systems for high performance military aircraft. The proposed Phase I development program will include a detailed review of the literature, the synthesis and solution of a mathematical model of the ABS including the major ...

According to a NIDR survey on employed American adults' oral health, approximately 42% of those older than 65 years and 4% of those 35 to 65 years are totally edentulous. Additionally, by the age of 65, those with teeth have lost an average of ten, while those between the ages of 55 to 64 have lost nine. This trememdous number of individuals could benefit from dental implant therapy. Following too ...

The design and layout of the bare base requires the assimilation and analysis of data from several sources of guidance. Without full consideration of this guidance, bare base planning may become time-consuming and inconsistent. The development of personal computer based bare base planning model would significantly improve the process of establishing an operational bare base. A computer modeling de ...

We propose the application of newly developed data processing techniques to ERP time series obtained under laboratory conditions in which subjects are engaged in learning tasks of varying degrees of difficulty. The techniques will enable us to further develop and refine quantitative measures of brain activity associated with knowledge acquisition and the development of skills. We have established ...
