THE KEY PROBLEM TO BE ADDRESSED IN PHASE I OF THIS PROJECT WILL BE TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF A NOVEL POSITION MEASURING SYSTEM FOR A FAMILY OF COMPUTER CONTROLLED MACHINE TOOLS. THE MULTIPLE LASER MEASUREMENT SYSTEM (MLMS), WHICH FORMS THE BASIS OF THIS PROPOSAL, WILL MEASURE THE (X, Y, Z) POSITION OF THE CUTTING HEAD DIRECTLY AT RATES AND ACCURACIES SUFFICIENT FOR CLOSED LOOP POSITION CONTR ...

VISION AND NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING IS BASED ON INDUCTIVE INFERENCE, WHICH IS REALIZABLE BY LARGE SCALE NEURAL NETWORKS. CONSTRUCTING FULLY PARALLEL, LARGE SCALE, NEURAL NETWORKS IS FRUSTRATED BY THE PROBLEMS OF PROVIDING FOR MASSIVE INTER-CONNECTIVITYAND FOR OVERCOMING FAN IN/OUT LIMITATIONS IN AREA-EFFICIENT VLSI/WSI REALIZATIONS. A MODULAR BUSED NEURAL RING (MBNR) ARCHITECTURE IS PROPOSED HE ...

FUTURE MILITARY AVIONICS SYSTEMS WILL REQUIRE AT LEAST AN ORDER OF MAGNITUDE IMPROVEMENT IN MEAN TIME BETWEEN CRITICAL FAILURES. TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL INNOVATIVE FAIL-SAFE FAULT-TOLERANT ELECTRONIC SYSTEM DESIGN CONCEPTS WILL BE NEEDED. THE APPROACH PROPOSED BY DAINA WILL BE BASED ON THE USE OF EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT DATA, BUILT-IN RELIABILITY MODEL, ADAPTIVE STATISTICAL SYSTEM STATE AND PARAMETER ES ...

WE PROPOSED TO DEVELOP A MICROCOMPUTER BASED INTEGRATED SOFTWARE SYSTEM FOR USE BY ENGINEERS WORKING ON CREWMEMBER EJECTION AND CAR CRASH PROBLEMS. THE PROPOSED SYSTEM WILL BE AN INTERACTIVE, MENUDRIVEN SYSTEM MADE UP OF SEVERAL MODULES. WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP THIS SYSTEM ON AN INTEL 80386 BASED MICROCOMPUTER. THE PROPOSED SYSTEM WILL COMPRISE OF MODULES WHICH WILL ALLOW THE ANALYST TO DEVELOP ANTH ...

THE NATIONAL AIRSPACE SYSTEM (NAS) PLAN AND THE CANADIAN AIRSPACE SYSTEM (CAS) PLAN CONTAIN MODERNIZATION PROJECTS AFFECTING MOST ELEMENTS OF THE NORTH AMERICAN AIRSPACE SYSTEM AND HAVE POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS ON SYSTEM USERS. FURTHER, THE AIRSPACE SYSTEMS OF THE U.S. AND CANADA HAVE CONSIDERABLE POINTS OF INTERDEPENDENCY AND INTERRELATIONSHIP. AS BEFITED THEIR INDEPENDENT NATIONAL INTERES ...

THE U.S. AIR FORCE AND OTHER DEFENSE ELEMENTS HAVE RECOGNIZED THE NEED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF LACK OF SURVIVABILITY OF CURRENT AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT CAPABILITIES IN A TACTICAL ENVIRONMENT. AS PART OF THE TRANS-CENTURY SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM, THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AUTOMATED TACTICAL LAUNCH AND RECOVERY SYSTEM (ATALARS) MUST INTEGRATE EMERGING AUTOMATION CAPABILITIES AND DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES IN ...

THE COMPLETE DESIGN IS PRESENTED WITHIN THIS PROPOSAL FOR A SYSTEM WHICH WILL PROVIDE A PRECISE, ONE-STEP CONVERSION DIRECTLY FROM A PULSE TRAIN INPUT TO A DIGITIZED PULSE RATE OUTPUT. IT IS A DISTRIBUTED PROCESSOR SYSTEM EMPLOYING A MASTER CONTROL PROCESSOR AND FROM 2 TO 30 IDENTICAL PULSE MODULES. THE PULSE MODULE IS A STANDALONE UNIT WHICH PERFORMS THE PULSE PERIOD MEASUREMENT. THE MICROPROCESS ...
