AN EFFICIENT COMPUTATIONAL METHOD IS PROPOSED FOR MODELING THE COMPLEX PHYSICAL PHENOMENA OCCURING IN HIGH ENERGY CONTINUOUS WAVE LASER FLOW FIELDS. THESE FLOWS TYPICALLY CONTAIN BOUNDARY LAYERS, MIXING LAYERS, WAKES, AND EMBEDDED SHOCK WAVES. IT IS DIFFICULT TO GENERATE A MESH APRIOR WHICH WILL RESOLVE ALL FEATURES OF THE FLOW. THEREFORE, AN ADAPTIVE GRID TECHNIQUE WILL BE USED AND COUPLED TO AN ...

A REALITY TODAYS WARFARE IS BEING CONFRONTED WITH BOTH NUCLEAR AND DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPONS (DEWS). DEFENSE AND COUNTERMEASURES AGAINST THESE THREATS ARE THE ONLY DETERRANTS TO ASSAULTS AND ATTACKS BY ENEMY FORCES. THE SOURCES OF DEWS MAY BE AGRESSOR FORCES, ORBITING SATELLITE STATIONS, OR EMBEDDED DEVICES WITHIN OUR BOARDERS. COUPLED NUCLEAR EFFECTS MAY ALSO COME FROM EXPLOSIVE DEVICES, MISSILES, ...

THE ASSOCIATED CORPORATION PROPOSES TO INVESTIGATE AN INTERRELATED THREE-PART KNOWLEDGE BASED SYSTEM HAVING A NATURAL LANGUAGE INTERPRETER, AN EXPERT SYSTEM ANALYZER AND A NATURAL LANGUAGE GENERATOR. TECHNIQUES USING A LEXICALLY/SEMANTICALLY/FUNCTIONALLY FOCUSED DICTIONARY, PARSER, ANALYSER WHICH TAKES ADVANTAGE OF REPETITIVE LEXICAL STRINGS ARE PROPOSED FOR NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING. INVESTIGAT ...

THE PRIMARY FOCUS OF THIS SBIR PROJECT IS THE RESERCH FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TECHNOLOGY FOR DESIGNING AND FABRIC ATING NON-AVAILABLE MICROCIRCUITS USING STATE-OF-THE-ART CMOS PROCESSES. THE RESEARCH IS AIMED AT KEEPING THE NON- RECURRING ENGINEERING (NRE) COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH BOTH DESIGN AND FABRICATION LOW. DESIGN COSTS FOR THE PARTS WILL BE KEPT LOW BY USING A MODIFIED VERSION OF A METHODOLOG ...

STEP BY STEP PROCEDURES WILL BE DEVELOPED WHICH PROVIDE FOR THE DETAILED EVALUATION OF ELECTRONIC, MECHANICAL AND PYROTECHNIC DEVICES WITH RESPECT TO THE EFFECTS OF LONG TERM STORAGE. THESE PROCEDURES WILL PROVIDE FOR THEORETICAL (PAPER) EVALUATIONS OF THESE ELEMENTS, AS WELL AS STORAGE CONTAINERS, SPECIFICATIONS, AND PRODUCTION PROCEDURES, WHICH MAY LEAD TO ADDITIONAL PHYSICAL EVALUATIONS AND TES ...

THIS STUDY INVESTIGATES THE FEASIBILITY AND SUITABILITY OF APPLYING A COMPOSITE STRUCTURE TO ENCLOSE ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT IN SUBMARINES. THE PROPERTIES OF THE STRUCTURE THAT ARE INVESTIGATED IN GREATEST DETAIL ARE WEIGHT AND VOLUMETRIC EFFICIENCY. SECONDARY INFLUENCES CONSIDERED AND QUANTIFIED ARE SHIP CONSTRUCTION EFFORT, TIME TO TEST ELECTRONICS, PERFORMANCE UNDER SHOCK LOADING AND CHARACTERISTI ...

THIS STUDY INVESTIGATES THE FEASIBILITY AND SUITABILITY OF APPLYING A MODULAR COMPOSITE STRUCTURE TO HOUSE AND SUPPORT TORPEDO-TUBE LAUNCHED WEAPONS IN SUBMARINES. THE PROPERTIES OF THE STRUCTURE THAT ARE INVESTIGATED IN GREATEST DETAIL ARE WEIGHT AND VOLUMETRIC EFFICIENCY. SECONDARY INFLUENCES CONSIDERED AND QUANTIFIED ARE PERFORMANCE UNDER SHOCK LOADING AND CHARACTERISTICS OF VIBRATION DAMPING A ...
