This proposal is directed to the preparation of high-surface-area (HSA) activated-carbon fibers that are suitable for the Army's lightweight chemical-protective combat uniforms. The overall goal of the proposed program is to develop a domestic source of activated-carbon fibers having surface areas greater than 1500 m2/g. Our approach begins with a novel method of preparing polymeric precursor fibe ...

Applied Polymer Systems, Inc (APS) has developed a new plasma spray process capable of applying a polymetric resin binder with high filler levels in coating form over various substrates. The process can be robotically controlled and is environmentally friendly. A vacuum collection system captures vapors, and no solvents are used in the process. The filters can be functional and contribute to surfa ...

The Aeronix Phase I task will demonstrate the application of an innovative parallel processing computer architecture and parallel processing programing envirorment to a class of problems associated with the real time detection, recognition, acquisition and tracking of multLple objects in a high rate image sensor environment. The Phase I task will examine the problems associated with the multiplici ...

ADAPTATION OF STATE-OF-THE-ART GIGAHERTZ WAFER PROBE TECHNOLOGY (WPT) FOR USE IN DESIGN, TROUBLESHOOTING, AND PRODUCTION OF MULTICHIP MODULES (MCMS) IS PROPOSED. THESE PROBES ARE CURRENTLY CAPABLE OF TESTING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES ON WAFERS AT FREQUENCIES UPTO 75 GHZ. PHASE I WILL SHOW THE ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL FEASIBILITY OF PROBING MCMS AND SET DIRECTION FOR PHASE II. KEY TASKS INCLUDE ESTABL ...

The goal of this project is to develop new approaches and innovative ideas, which are needed to represent oceangraphic satellite imagery using data structures of software architecture that facilitate storage, transmission, processing throughput and accuracy of automated analysis results. Wavelet representation provides a unified framework for techniques including image features analysis, image com ...

Our industrialized society places a premium on the visually-based ability to resolve fine-spatial detail in the environment. But the perceptual demands of new aircraft display systems, and indeed the tasks of out-the-window performances (landing, low-level attack, etc.) in aviation may involve temporal acuity (e.g., motion perception) as much as spatial acuity. Further, an inability to "switch" at ...
