TAC PROPOSES TO CONDUCT A STUDY TO EVALUATE THE COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF VARIOUS FORWARD-LOOKING AUTONOMOUS SENSORS AND ALGORITHMS FOR TLAM-C. THE CURRENT TLAM-C USES A TERRAIN MAPPING RADAR ALTIMETER AND CORRELATES THE SENSED AREA AT KEY WAYPOINTS WITH A STORED DIGITAL REPRESENTATION OF THE TERRAIN AREA AT THE WAYPOINTS TO PROVIDE MID-COURSE AND TERMINAL GUIDANCE CORRECTION TO THE INERTIAL NA ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS DEVELOPMENTAL EFFORT IS TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A COMPUTER INTEGRATED ROBOT WORK CELL GAGING FINISHED PARTS OR OTHER ASSEMBLY/MACHINING OPERATIONS. THE FOCUS OF THE RESEARCH IS TO CONTROL THE ROBOT TOOL CONTROL POINT (TCP) THROUGH AN ADAPTIVE FEEDBACK CONTROL SYSTEM. THE ROLE OF THE FEEDBACK CONTROL SYSTEM IS TO CONTROL AND MODIFY THE PATH OF THE TCP TO WIT ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS DEVELOPMENT IS TO DETERMINE THE TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A THREE DIMENSIONAL VISION BASED PASSIVE OBJECT RECOGNITION SYSTEM CAPABLE OF GENERATING THREE DIMENSIONAL COORDINATE LOCATION INFORMATION IN REAL TIME AT VIDEO FRAME RATES OF 30 FRAMES PER SECOND. THE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION UNDER INVESTIGATION WILL UTILIZE PARALLEL PROCESSING OF RAW VIDEO INPUT FROM MULTIPLE C ...

IMPROVED PERFORMANCE OF TONPILZ-TYPE TRANSDUCER ELEMENTS CAN RESULT FROM (1) INCREASING THE AREA OF THE RADIATING FACE AND (2) DECREASING THE MASS OF THE RADIATING HEAD. HOWEVER, SUCH IMPROVEMENT IS LIMITED BY THE INTRODUCTION OF A FLEXURE MODE, WITH THE OUTER RING MOVING AT A DIFFERENT VELOCITY AND PHASE FROM THE INNER AREA OF THE HEAD-MASS. THE UNDESIRABLE RESULT IS A BI-MODAL RESPONSE WITH, GEN ...

ROADWAY INTERSECTION TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS ACCOMPLISH COMMAND AND CONTROL USING VEHICLE SENSORS WITH COMPUTERS WHICH HAVE SOPHISTICATED PROGRAMS (SOFTWEAR). COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY HAS PROGRESSED MORE RAPIDLY IN RECENT YEARS THAN SENSOR TECHNOLOGY. WIRE LOOPS WHICH ARE LAID IN THE PAVEMENT ARE COSTLY TO INSTALL AND MAINTAIN AND ARE NOT EASILY RECONFIGURED FOR AN UPGRADE OF TRAFFIC CONTROL. A RADA ...

IMI-TECH CORPORATION PROPOSES TO MODIFY ITS EXISTING PROPRIETARY POLYIMIDE FOAMING RESIN, WHICH HAS DEMONSTATED THERMAL STABILITIES IN EXCESS OF 500 DEGREES F, TO ACHIEVE INCREASED TEMPERATURE STABILITY UP TO 700 DEGREES F. THIS NEW POLYIMIDE RESIN WILL THEN BE USED TO PRODUCE HARD, DURABLE COATINGS. THE MODIFICATIONS TO BE INVESTIGATED INCLUDE CHANGES IN MATERIALS, PROCESS PARAMETERS, AND PRODUCT ...

THE SCOPE OF THIS PROGRAM WILL BE TO INVESTIGATE THE FEASIBILITY OF PRODUCING FOR TRANSPORTATION VEHICLES A LIGHTWEIGHT, FIRE-RESISTANT, LOW SMOKE GENERATING SEATING FOAM THROUGH THE USE OF POLYIMIDE FOAM CHEMISTRY. IMI-TECH CORPORATION MANUFACTURES A LIGHTWEIGHT, FIRE-RESISTANT, LOW SMOKE GENERATING THERMAL/ACOUSTICAL FOAM INSULATION MATERIAL WHICH SHOWS GREAT POTENTIAL FOR MODIFICATION TO A SEAT ...

IMI-TECH CORPORATION PROPOSES TO DEVELOP A POLYIMIDE MULTILAYER PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD POSSESSING A COEFFICIENT OF LINEAR THERMAL EXPANSION MATCHED TO THAT OF CERAMIC. THE PROPOSED CIRCUIT BOARD WILL ALSO POSSESS STRONG BOND STRENGTH BETWEEN LAYERS AND EMBEDDED COPPER CONDUCTORS. THIS PROPOSED PROJECT BUILDS ON IMI-TECH'S PATENTED AND PROPRIETARY POLYIMIDE FOAMING RESIN AND MANUFACTURING TECHNIQUES ...
