A MEMBRANE TYPE WAFER PROBE IS PROPOSED WHICH, AT THE END OF PHASE II, WILL ACHIEVE TRANSMISSION OF SIGNALS FROM TESTER TO DIE WITH LOW ABBRATIONS FOR A 100 PS RISETIME. CAPABILITIES WILL INCLUDE LOW-IMPEDANCE GROUND AND POWER CONTACTS, WITH LSI-LEVEL NUMBERS AND DENSITIES OF SIGNAL LINES. PHASE I WORK WILL DETERMINE THE DESIGN PARAMETERS NECESSARY FOR THESE GOALS THROUGH A SEQUENCE OF CALCULATION ...

THERE IS A NEED TO IMPROVE RECEPTION OF AND SYNCHRONIZATION OF WIDEBAND SIGNALS OF UNKNOWN PARAMETERS. FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THE MATHEMATICAL THEORY OF THE ESTIMATION OF GENERATOR CONFIGURATIONS FROM THEIR OUTPUTS WILL HELP TO ACCOMPLISH THIS GOAL. A PROMISING APPROACH IS TO APPLY SHIFT-AND-ADD AND OTHER PROPERTIES OF LINEAR SEQUENCES TO THE DETERMINATION OF THE GENERATOR CONFIGURATION. A PROPOSE ...

THIS WORK ADDRESSES THE RECOGNITION OF TRANSIENT AND NONSTATIONARY SIGNALS BY A COLLECTION OF FEATURE EXTRACTION ALGORITHMS FOLLOWED BY LOGIC THAT COMBINES THE FEATURE ESTIMATES TO PRODUCE SIGNAL CLASSIFICATION. THE FEATURE EXTRACTION ALGORITHMS INCLUDE ESTIMATORS FOR SPECTRAL COHERENCE, A TECHNIQUE THAT ILLUMINATES THE PRESENCE OF RHYTHMIC MODULATIONS IN SIGNALS. NEURAL NETS WILL BE EXAMINED AS A ...

PERSONNEL WORKING IN EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS OR WEARING BALLISTIC AND/OR NUCLEAR/BIOLOGICAL/CHEMICAL (NBC) PROTECTIVE CLOTHING ARE SUBJECT TO THE HAZARDS OF OVERHEATING. THESE HAZARDS INCLUDE PHYSICAL DISCOMFORT, DECREASED PHYSICAL AND MENTAL ABILITIES, DEHYDRATION, AND EVENTUALLY DEATH FROM HEAT STRESS. THE NUMBER OF PERSONNEL VULNERABLE TO THESE HAZARDS IS ALREADY QUITE LARGE AND IS STEADILY INCREA ...

A LIGHTWEIGHT COLD WEATHER WATERPROOF SAFETY BOOT WITH A WATER RESISTANT LEATHER UPPER EXTERIOR, DMS, POLYURETHANE MID-SOLE/VULCANIZED RUBBER TREAD SOLE CONSTRUCTION, INTERIOR LINED WITH A LAMINATE OF A WATER IMPERMEABLE/VAPOR PERMEABLE BARRIER MICROFIBER THERMAL INSULATION AND NON-WOVEN PERMEABLE SYNTHETIC SHOE LINING AND A FIBERGLASS SAFETY TOE.

THIS PHASE I EFFORT WILL INVESTIGATE THE TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING INNOVATIVE, IMPROVED METHODS OF: ENCAPSULATING LIFE RAFTS TO PREVENT DAMAGE DURING STOWAGE AND TRANSPORT; PROVIDING A COMPLETELYRELIABLE INFLATION SYSTEM FOR INFLATABLES; AND INCORPORATING MODERN MATERIALS ADVANCES IN THE MANUFACTURE OF LIFE RAFTS. THE EFFORT WILL ALSO DETAIL PRELIMINARY DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS TO LIFE RAFTS. ...
