CONVENTIONAL INTERCONNECT AND SWITCHING TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A LIMITATION IN HIGH THRUPUT PROCESSORS AND COMPUTERS. WAFER SCALE INTEGRATION IS ONE TECHNIQUE TO RESOLVE INTERCONNECT PROBLEMS. METHODS OF INTERFACING TO WAFER SCALE DEVICES WILL RESOLVE INTERCONNECT PROBLEMS. METHODS OF INTERFACING TO WAFER SCALE DEVICES WILL REQUIRE OPTICAL INTERCONNECT TECHNIQUES. IMPLEMENTING COMMUNICA ...

OPTICAL INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY PROMISES TO PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT RELIEF FROM THE PINOUT PROBLEM, DECREASE IMPLEMENTATION COMPLEXITY, AND PROVIDE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE FLEXIBILITY AND REAL-TIME RECONFIGURATION FOR HIGH DENSITY ELECTRONIC PACKING APPLICATIONS SUCH AS VLSI/VHSIC. OPTICAL INTERCONNECT REQUIREMENTS, IN GENERAL, CAN BE DIVIDED INTO FOUR AREAS: DEVICES, ROUTING MECHANISMS, PACKING TECHNIQUE ...

RECENTLY, MUCH ATTENTION HAS BEEN FOCUSED ON THE USE OF ILLICIT AND/OR DESIGNER DRUGS BY PEOPLE FROM ALL FACETS OF AMERICAN LIFE. ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR OF THE DESIGNER DRUGS ARE THE FENTANYLS WHICH ARE VERY POTENT AND VERY DIFFICULT TO DETECT IN BIOLOGICAL FLUIDS. THESE POTENT DRUGS ARE BEING USED BY PEOPLE FROM ALL SEGMENTS OF OUR SOCIETY INCLUDING HEALTH CARE WORKERS, MILITARY PERSONNEL, AND P ...

THE OVERALL GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO IMPROVE PROGRAMMER PRODUCTIVITY AND TO REDUCE THE COST OF DEVELOPING PERSISTENT DISTRIBUTED APPLICATIONS. THE APPROACH PROPOSED IS TO RESEARCH AND DEVELOP A TOOLKIT FOR PERSISTENT DISTRIBUTED PROGRAMMING WHICH (1) PROVIDES LANGUAGE SUPPORT FOR EXPRESSING PERSISTENCE AND DISTRIBUTION OF APPLICATIONS (2) SUPPLIES MECHANISMS IMPLEMENTING PERSISTENCE AND PROGRAM ...

FAILURE OF AIR CLEANER SYSTEMS IS A MAJOR CAUSE OF ENGINE FAILURE. A NEED EXISTS FOR A DETECTOR TO INDICATE WHEN PARTICLES ARE ENTERING THE ENGINE. THE PROPOSED DETECTOR PROVIDES A LOW COST SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL CONSIST OF: 1) DESIGNING AND FABRICATING THE DETECTOR; 2) DEVELOPING AND FABRICATING THE SIGNAL PROCESSING ELECTRONICS; AND 3) EVALUATING THE DETECTOR. THE PRO ...

A LASER DOPPLER VELOCIMETER SYSTEM TO MEASURE TRANSIENT IMPELLER FLOW FIELDS IS PROPOSED. THIS SYSTEM, USING FIBER OPTICS, WILL MEASURE BOTH TANGENTIAL AND RADIAL COMPONENTS OF VELOCITY SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE HARDWARE AND ASSOCIATED SOFTWARE WILL BE SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO COLLECT AND ANALYZE DATA FROM THE TRANSIENT OPERATING CONDITIONS FROM START-UP TO ACHIEVING FULL SPEED. A THREE-AXIS TRAVERSE MECHA ...

THERE IS A NATIONAL NEED TO CONVERT TOPOGRAPHIC INFORMATION FROM CONTOUR MAPS TO 3D DIGITAL TO CAD OR TERRAIN MODELING DATA. MUCH LABOR IS BEING EXPENDED EACH DAY ACROSS THE NATION TO PERFORM THIS TASK USING MANUAL OR SCANNING TECHNIQUES. OUR SOLUTION, THE VECTORIZER, COMBINES SCANNING WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO TRACE SELECTIVELY LINES FROM A DRAWING DIRECTLY INTO CAD FORMAT. WE PROPOSE TO DE ...

XINOTECH HAS RESEARCHED AND DEVELOPED TECHNOLOGY FOR LANGUAGE-BASED, MULTI-LINGUAL, GRAMMAR-GENERATED INTERACTIVE PROGRAM COMPOSITION AND IS COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE FOR ADA, CMS-2 AND OTHER LANGUAGES. ALTHOUGH THIS TECHNOLOGY PROVIDES A SOLID FRAMEWORK FOR ABSTRACT TREE MANIPULATION, IT DOES NOT HAVE THE REACH TO SUPPORT LANGUAGE PROTOTYPING AND INTERACTIVE SEMANTICS. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED ...
