THE AES CORPORATION HAS DEVELOPED A NOISE PROCESSOR (NP). THE PROCESSOR HAD THE ABILITY TO DETECT A SIGNAL OF KNOWN PULSE WIDTH BURIED DEEP WITHIN THE R.F. NOISE FLOOR OR ELECTRONIC JAMMING. THE COMBINATION OF PROPRIETARY HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE ALLOWS THE NP TO SEARCH FOR A VERY EXACT SIGNAL. THE SIGNAL PARAMETERS ARE PROGRAMMED INTO THE SOFTWARE. THE TWO CONCURRENT PROCESSORS ARRIVE AT THE PROBABI ...

A RESEARCH PROGRAM TO PROVIDE SIMULATION MODELS APPLICABLE TO THE DESIGN SPECIFICATION OF A MICROWAVE MOISTURE SOUNDER OPERATING AT 183 GHZ IS DESCRIBED. THE DESIGN SPECIFICATION PROCESS CONSISTS OF INSTRUMENT RESPONSE SIMULATION, SENSITIVITY ANALYSES, AND MOISTURE RETRIEVAL PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE INITIAL EFFORT IS TO DEVELOP COMPUTER ALGORITHMS CAPABLE OF TREATING THE RESPON ...

THE PROPOSED RESEARCH CONSTITUTES A FIRST STEP IN THE UTILIZATION OF ALPHATECH'S DISPLAY DESIGN METHODOLOGY TO DEVELOP IMPROVED DISPLAYSYSTEMS FOR AIR CREWS IN TERRAIN FOLLOWING FLIGHT. IT INVOLVES AN ANALYTICAL EFFORT AT ALPHATECH, AND AN EXPERIMENTAL VALIDATION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT. PILOT MODELING TECHNIQUES ARE CENTRAL TO OUR APPROACH FOR DISPLAY SYSTEM EVALUATION. A PILOT MODELING ...

DEVELOPMENT OF A READOUT SYSTEM FOR MICROCHANNEL PLATES OR OTHER IMAGING DETECTORS FOR USE WITH MULTIANGULAR ELECTROSTATIC ANALYZER. THIS FILM DISCRETE ANODE ARRAYS WILL BE DEPOSITED ON CERAMIC SUBSTRATES INCORPORATING A MINIMUM OF 128 ELEMENTS. ENCODING ELECTRONICS AS WELL AS HYBRIDIZED CHARGE SENSITIVE PREAMPLIFIERDISCRIMINATORS WILL MATE WITH THE ANODES. THE SYSTEM WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH SPACE ...

ASI PROPOSES A RESEARCH METHODOLOGY FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAXIMIZING THE SEARCH FOR AND THE EXTRACTION OF NEW CONCEPTS AND INNOVATIONS IN THE AREA OF EXTENDING THE CAPABILITIES OF THE HUMAN IN AERONAUTICAL/ SPACE SYSTEMS THROUGH DESIGNING, CONDUCTING, RUNNING, AND MONITORING OF A FUTURISTS/RESEARCH WORKSHOP. THE PROPOSED METHODOLOGY INCLUDES: 1) THE USE OF ASI DESIGNED OR REFINED FUTURIST TOOLS AND M ...

THE RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF BIOTECHNOLOGY HAS MADE IT IMPERATIVE TO DETECT BIOHAZARDS WHICH MAY BE ENCOUNTERED INI STRATEGIC AREAS OF AIR FORCE OPERATIONS. THE RELEASE OF BIOLOGICAL/CHEMICAL WARFARE AGENTS IN A DEEP BASE WOULD PRESENT A SIGNIFICANT THREAT. IN PHASE I OF THIS PROPOSAL, WE WILL DEVELOP A QUALITATIVE METHOD OF DETECTING LOW CONCENTRATIONS OF AIRBORNE CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL AGENTS. THIS ...

PLANT PATHOGENS COST PRODUCERS, PROCESSORS AND USERS SEVERAL BILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR IN YIELD AND QUALITY LOSSES AND CONTROL COSTS. ECONOMICAL AND EASY TO USE ASSAY KITS FOR THE EARLY DETECTION AND IDENTIFICATION OF PATHOGENIC VIRUSES AND MICROBES, WILL PERMIT LARGE REDUCTIONS IN CROP LOSSES THROUGH WISE PREVENTION (PARTICULARLY IN CERTIFICATION OF DISEASE-TESTED CULTIVARS) AND CONTROL PLANNING. ...

THE PROPOSED PROGRAM INVOLVES DEVELOPMENT OF METHODS TO INCORPORATE DEUTERIUM INTO SEVERAL OF THE NEWER GENERATION COMPOSITE HIGH TEMPERATURE SYNTHETIC POLYMERS. IN RECENT YEARS A NUMBER OF HETEROCYCLIC AROMATIC POLYMERS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED BASED ON VARIOUS BENZOTHIAZOLE, BENZIMIDAZOLE, AND OXOBENZIMIDAZOISOQUINOLINE MONOMERS. THESE MATERIALS SHOW PROMISE AS COMPOSITE MATRIX RESINS FOR NUMEROUS HI ...
