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 ...

The proposed research program aims to develop a physics-based identification, modeling and management infrastructure for aeroelastic limit-cycle oscillations. This infrastructure will be built upon high fidelity state-of-the-art theoretical/computational methods as validated and verified by available experimental data bases, and will include (1) rapid flutter boundary determination for a wide ran ...

Many technical challenges will need to be surmounted to create practical cybercraft: assurance, control, rules of engagement, representation and discovery of the target environment, among others. However a serious challenge lurks behind all of these: scaling solutions to fleets of up to a million craft. New approaches are needed to deploy and control the craft at this scale. Failure to come to gr ...

Due to the phasing out of TNT usage in explosives due to safety and environmental concerns, insensitive explosives utilizing wax binders instead of TNT have gradually replaced TNT in bombs and other explosive shells. The wax material that has been the most utilized in this application has been carnauba wax, but due to its non-domestic production and its dependence on natural growth and harvest me ...

The activity of an OS kernel may be monitored dynamically in real time. As the kernel executes, the transition among the constituent components of the kernel will follow a predictable pattern representing the normal operation of the kernel. An attack on the operating system will induce a significant and immediately recognizable disturbance in this pattern of normal activity. The Attack Recognit ...

While recent efforts in cross-domain information sharing have developed platforms and infrastructure for information sharing, they do not address issues of human-system interactions within the framework of existing information creation, visualization and communication environments. This project will focus on developing front-ends to information sharing services and support tools, assisting analyst ...

The ability to identify and share information in a "just enough" manner is critical in defense, intelligence, and industry settings. Human analysts in both government and private sectors are overwhelmed by the sheer volume of data, compounded by the increasing complexity of information sharing policies. Unlike companies that provide infrastructure and platforms for information sharing, such as gua ...
