THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO DESIGN AND BUILD A SYSTEM FOR FISHERY AND MARINE MAMMAL STOCK PREDICTION USING NONLINEAR SPATIO-TEMPORAL NEURAL NETWORK THEORY. WHILE THE CENTRAL ENGINE OF THE SYSTEM MAKES USE OFNONLINEAR NEURAL NETWORKS FOR PREDICTION, SEVERAL PERIPHERAL MODULES INCORPORATED IN THE DESIGN ASSIST THE USER IN EMPLOYING THE PREDICTOR FOR VARIOUS APPLICATIONS. IN PARTICUL ...

A SMALL SCALE WASTE COLLECTION SYSTEM WILL BE DESIGNED AND EVALUATED TO DETERMINE POTENTIAL EFFECTIVENESS OF FOUR DIFFERENT DEGREES OF CONTAINMENT OF NET PANS; 5, 50, 60, AND100 PERCENTS. EFFECTIVENESS OF THE COLLECTION UNIT WILL BE EVALUATED BY MONITORING EFFICIENCY OF PHOSPHOROUS, SUSPENDED SOLIDS AND DOB LOAD REMOVAL AT EACH OF THE FOUR CONFIGURATIONS. OTHER OPERATIONAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLE ...

WE PROPOSE A NOVEL TECHNOLOGY FOR A REAL-TIME X-RAY IMAGER. THE PROPOSED TECHNOLOGY CAN BE ADAPTED TO SPECIFIC MEDICAL OR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS WHICH MAY HAVE DIFFERENT REQUIREDCHARACTERISTICS. THE SPATIAL RESOLUTION CAN BE IN THE RANGEOF 5 TO 20 LINE PAIRS PER MM. A SINGLE UNIT HAS AN ACTIVE IMAGING AREA OF 10 CM X 10 CM. BECAUSE THERE IS ESSENTIALLYNO DEAD SPACE AROUND THE EDGE OF A UNIT, SEVE ...

MEAD TECHNOLOGIES, INC. PROPOSES TO SYNTHESIZE FILM FORMING BIODEGRADABLE POLYMERS, SPECIFICALLY A SERIES OF POLY ORGANOPHOSPHAZENES, TO SERVE AS PRIMARY VEHICLES FOR ANTIFOUL MARINE COATINGS. THE COATINGS ARE NON-METAL-CONTAINING FILMS WHICH WILL CONTROLLABLY REACT WITH SEA WATER AT THE DESIRED RATE TO CONTINUOUSLY PROVIDE A NEW SURFACE FOR FURTHER EROSION. THE PRODUCTS OF THE DEGRADATION WILL PR ...
