An interactive application that employs social interactions to teach key social conventions, including appropriate responses, reacting to body language and facial expressions, and the ability to ask for help to facilitate functioning in society

Not Available The high performance, high power density combustors being proposed for IHPTET III must operate without exhinbintng combustion instability. There is a need to develop a time-accurate CFD combustion dynamics code that provides improved understanding of the acoustic/heat-release coupling and is able t predict the frequency and limit cycle of the instability. The code also needs to be p ...

Not Available Virtually every user of launch services is seeking methods to reduce launch costs. A reusable conventional launch vehicle configuration shows the potential to achieve this goal. The LOX/LNG propellant combination shows the potential to enhance both propulsion system reusability and launch system mass-to-orbit capability. This propellant combination also has the performance margins n ...

Not Available We propose a proof of concept demonstration of micro-balloon vortex generators and micromachined hot film sensor arrays for active control of flow separation. This program is the first step toward the development of conformal micro-balloon vg appliques. Appliques fabricated with co-located microsensors and balloon vg's will provide a revolutionary closed loop, seamless flow control ...

Not Available The development of advanced communication or electronic warfare systems requires high performance miniaturized microwave filters. Miniaturized high-Q evanescent (EV) is one of the most desirable filters due to its wide stopband and small size, especially for satellite down-converter applications where a few hundred EV filters are used. Currently, EV filters are made using very small ...

THIS PROJECT WOULD DEVELOP AN INTERFACE BOARD FOR THE IBM PERSONAL COMPUTER AND COMPATIBLES WHICH WOULD ALLOW SOFTWAREDEVELOPERS TO PRODUCE INEXPENSIVE MULTISENSORY COURSEWARE. THE STUDENTS USING THE COURSEWARE WOULD GET HUMAN VOICE VER BAL INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO OPERATE THE COMPUTER AN BE TAUGHT THE SUBJECT MATTER THROUGH VERBAL. VISUAL AND TACTILE INTER ACTION WITH THE COMPUTER. TO KEEP THE METHO ...

A PHASE I PROPOSAL TO DEVELOP A FUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATION ANDOPERATIONAL PROTOTYPE OF A TECHNOLOGICALLY SOPHISTICATED WRITING TOOL FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED STUDENTS. PROVISIONALLY ENTITLED "COAUTHOR", THE PROGRAM WILL BE IMPLEMENTED AS AN ENHANCED-FUNCTION WORD PROCESSOR SUPPORTED BY AN ASSEMBLAGE OF RELATED INTEGRAL UTILITIES THAT INCLUDE: A FUNCTION FOR CONVERTING TEXT AND SYSTEM MESSAGES TO SYNTHET ...

THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY IS TO EXAMINE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF LIMITED TEACHER-AUTHORING USING INTERACTIVE LASER VIDEODISCS OPERATING WITH A MICROCOMPUTER TO TEACH EFL AT THE ENTRY LEVEL. THE APPLICATION WILL BE IN A PRE-EMPLOYMENT VOCATIONAL CONTEXT, SIMILAR TO JOB CLUB ENVIRONMENTS. TEACHER-AUTHORING IN PHASE I WILL BE LIMITED TO POST-TREATMENT, STUDENT ASSESSMENT QUESTIONS. PHASE I EQUIPMENT WILL ...
