THE UNDERLYING LEARNING CURVE (ULC) ANALYSIS TECHNIQUE CAN OFFER SUBSTANTIAL BENEFIT TO PERSONNEL INVOLVED WITH EVALUATIN OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS. USE OF THE TECHNIQUE IS IMPEDED BY THE AMOUNT OF COMPUTATION REQUIRED AND BY THE LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONCEPT BY USERS. THE PROJECT WILL DEVELOP A USER FRIENDLY SOFTWARE SYSTEM TO ACCOMPLISHING THESE EVALUATIONS AT CONT ...

THIS PROJECT WILL INVOLVE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPUTER PROGRAM WHICH WILL ENABLE PROGRAM OFFICES TO PERFORM SCHEDULE ASSESSMENTS. THE MODEL WILL BE DEVELOPED WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF SCHEDULING OF AIRCRAFT ENGINE PRODUCTION PROGRAMS. THE COMPUTER PROGRAM WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN A USER FRIENDLY MODE AND WILL PROVIDE CAPABILITY FOR OPTIMIZING PRODUCTION SCHEDULES TO MINOMIZE RISKS AND COST FACTORS, AND ...

N/A

THE DEVELOPMENT OF PASSIVE ACOUSTIC INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGY FOR REENTRY VEHICLE FLIGHT TEST MEASUREMENT OF HYDROMETER MASS AND NUMBER DENSITY IS PROPOSED.

PROPOSED IS PHASE 1 OF A PHASED RESEARCH PROJECT AIMED AT PROVIDING NECESSARY DATA TO ASSIST IN THE MORE EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT DESIGN OF HEAD AND FACE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR MEN AND WOMEN. THIS IS TO BE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH STATISTICAL (MULTI-VARIATE DISCRIMINATE ANALYSIS) EVALUATION OF AN EXISTING U.S. ARMY DATA SET OF 30 HEAD AND FACE DIMENSIONS FOR 100 MALEAND 200 FEMALE SUBJECTS. THE PRIMA ...

N/A

DESIGN OF EFFECTIVE MAN-MACHINE INTERFACES (MMI) IS CRITICAL TO THE OPERATIONAL EFECTIVENESS OF INTERACTIVE COMPUTER SYSTEMS. UNFORTUNATELY, MMI DESIGN FLAWS USUALLY ARE NOT UNCOVERED UNTIL LATE IN THE IMPLEMENTATION PHASE WHEN THEIR CORRECTION IS VERY EXPENSIVE OR IMPOSSIBLE. RAPID PROTOTYPING TOOLS HAVE BEEN USE TO ALLEVIATE THESE PROBLEMS BY ALLOWING MMI DESIGNS TO BECOME VISIBLE AND MODIFIABLE ...

COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATES (CTA) PROPOSES TO INVESTIGATE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A PROFESSIONAL WORKSTATION TO BE USED BY ENGINEERS AT WRIGHT-PATTERSON, TO DEFINE ALTERNATIVES FOR MIGRATION OF MICRO COMPUTERS INTO PROFESSIONAL WORKSTATIONS, AND TO RECOMMEND A PLAN FOR IMPLEMENTING THIS MIGRATION. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED WILL INCLUDE THE INTEGRATION OF OFFTHE-SHELF HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE AS WELL AS ...

AN INVESTIGATION IS PROPOSED THAT WILL EXAMINE THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE GROWTH OF HIGH QUALITY A1GAAS/GAAS SUPERLATTICS IN METALORGANIC EPITAXIAL REACTORS. THE TECHNICAL APPROACH WILL BE TO SELECT THE MOST PROMISING ADVANCES MADE IN THIS FIELD AND INTEGRATE THEM INTO A SINGLE ADVANCED DESIGN METALORGANIC REACTOR FOR LARGE SCALE PRODUCTION OF GAAS, A1GAAS AND THE ASSOCIATED MULTILAYER STRUC ...

THE ANALYTICAL PREDICTION OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC BEHAVIOR OF DIELECTRICALLY CLAD VEHICLES IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT. THE PROPOSED EFFORT CONSISTS OF PRODUCING A GTD-BASED FORMULATION FOR THE PREDICTION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC SCATTERING BY CONFORMAL REACTIVE SURFACES, THE FORMULATION INCLUDING BOTH SPECULAR AND CREEPING RAY TERMS. COMPUTER CODE WILL BE DEVELOPED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE CONE-SPHER ...
