THE PROPOSED EFFORT WILL ASSESS THE FEASIBILITY OF USING COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN TECHNOLOGY TO PROJECT SYSTEM RELATED MANPOWER REQUIREMENTS. MANPOWER AND SKILL DETERMINATIONS HAVE HISTORICALLY OCCURED LATTE IN THE DESIGN PROCESS AND THUS HAVE HAD LITTLE IMPACT UPON SYSTEM DESIGN DECISIONS. THE INCREASING SCARCITY OF MANPOWER RESOURCES REQUIRES THAT THEY BE GIVEN AN INTERACTIVE ROLE IN SYSTEM DEVELOP ...

THE NEED FOR IMMEDIATE AND EFFECTIVE TREATMENT AND CORRECTION OF CRITICAL ARRYTHMIAS IS AN ACCEPTED FACT. HOWEVER, DEFIBRILLATORS ARE STILL BEING SOLD WEIGHING IN THE ORDER OF 20-40 LBS. MAKING THEIR APPLICATION IN THE EMERGENCY ENVIRONMENT DIFFICULT. IT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED THAT VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION RECOVERY IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO THE SPEED OF APPLICATION OF THE DC COUNTERSHOCK (DEFIBRIL ...

COMPUTER SOFTWARE PROGRAMS ARE DEVELOPED FOR CONTROLLING THE DISPLAY FUNCTION OF A COLOR TACHISTOSCOPE TO BE USED ON VISUAL PSYCHOPHYSICS AND VISUAL PHYSIOLOGY RESEARCH. THE SYSTEM IS CONTROLLED BY A PDP-11 MINICOMPUTER INTERFACED TO A GENISCO 3000 DISPLAY SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM ALLOWS THE INDEPENDENT VARIATIONS OF FORM, COLORS AND MOVEMENT.

The ability to monitor the condition of a bridge structure to detect damage or changes in condition at early stages is of significant interest to many bridge owners. Currently, the most widely used damage detection methods rely on subjective, incremental visual assessments or localized testing techniques. In this proposal, we propose to develop and test a bridge structural health monitoring syst ...

Injury patterns in recent conflicts involving the United States show a similarity with those observed in previous conflicts. As protective body armor effectiveness progressed and medical care advanced, mortality among current U.S. warfighters has been reduced. As a consequence, more warfighters are surviving what previously would have been fatal injuries making other injury conditions like blast ...

Military physicians are often deployed to remote locations and required to perform general and trauma surgical procedures required during wartime for which they may not have been specifically trained or for which their skills have degraded with time. The overall objective of our program is to improve the cognitive and psychomotor trauma skills of trauma-naïve general or subspecialty surgeons abou ...

This proposal describes the architecture of mICE – a mobile Integrated Clinical Environment that interconnects medical-electrical (ME) equipment in field environments to provide safety interlocks, closed-loop control in critical situations, decision support, and the ability to manage multiple patients in a multi-casualty environment. The core of the mICE architecture is the decision model and ...
