A NEW TYPE NOISE REDUCTION TECHNIQUE (1) HAS OPENED THE OPPORTUNITY TO DETECT BOTH A SIGNAL WITH NEGATIVE SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO AND RANDOM SIGNAL ON A LINE. THE IMPORTANT ADVANTAGE OF THIS TECHNIQUE OVER EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT NOISE AS WELL AS AN INTERNAL BACKROUND NOISE. IT PROVIDES A REAL TIME DETECTION AT A WIDE FREQUENCY RANGE, THIS VERY EFFICENT AND INEXPENSIVE APPROACH TO IMPROVE THE SNR BY TH ...

THE VALUE OF LIGHTWEIGHT\HIGH STRENGTH TRAIGLAR TRUSS STRUCTURAL MEMBERS ARE RECOGNIZED FOR THERE STRENGTH AND DESIGN EFFICIENCY.MULTIPLE SECTIONS MAY BE JOINED TOGETHER WITHOUT THE USE OF TOOLS USING A VEELOCK JOINT ATTACHED TO THE ENDS OF THE TRUSS. THE VEELOCK JOINT WILL CONNECT TO ITSELF INSTANTLY PROVIDING A LONG SPAN OF TRUSS. QUICK- CONNECT\DISCONNECT VEELOCK TRUSS STRUCTURES WOULD HAVE BRO ...

PHASE I WOULD INVOLVE STUDY TO DETERMINE THE PARAMETERS OF THE REQUIRED SYSTEM AND TO ASCERTAIN THE FEASIBILITY AND BEST APPROACHES. VISUAL STIMULI REQUIREMENTS OF PRESENT AND FUTURE VISUAL RESEARCH CONDUCTED BY THIS ARMY LABORATORY WOULD BE ASCERTAINED. THE CAPA BILITIES OF THE EXISTING HARDWARE WILL THEN BE EVALUATED. FINALLY, THE DESIRED TYPES OF USER INTERACTIONS WITH THE SYSTEM WILL BE EXPLOR ...

THE INCREASINGLY WIDESPREAD APPLICATION OF MIL-STD-1553B TO MILITARY AND, POTNTIALLY COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT HAS CREATED A NEED FOR DIGITAL OUTPUT FLOW ANGLE TRANSMITTERS. THE CURRENT MEANS OF GENERATING A DIGITAL OUTPUT FROM EXISITING TRANSDUCERS HAS AN UNFLAVORABLE IMPACT ON SIZE, WEIGHT, POWER, COST AND RELIABILITY. DIGITIAL ENCODING TECHNIQUES ARE BELIEVED TO HAVE BENEFICIAL APPLICATION TO EXISTIN ...

THE POSIDENT CONCEPT USES FINGER PRINT IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM TO COMPARE THE SUBJECTS LIVE FINGER PRINT WITH A STORED FINGER PRINT. THE STORAGE MEDIUM CAN BE ONE OF SEVERAL TYPES. A PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGEIIS ONE METHOD OF STORAGE. DIGITAL DATA IN PROM IS A SECOND METHOD. THE ID CARD IS PLACED FON THE ELECTRO-OPTICAL CORRELATION DEVICE. A VIDEO CAMERA (VIDICON OR SOLID STATE CCD CAMERA) IS USED TO SCAN ...

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 ...
