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 ...

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 ...

MOST SURFACE COATINGS (PAINTS) USED ON THE EXTERIOR OF MILILTARY HARDWARE POSSESS HIGH THERMAL EMITTANCE IN THE 3 TO 5 MICRON AND 8 TO 23 MICRON WAVELENGTH REGIONS, MAKING THEM VULNERABLE TO DETECTION USING STATE-OF-THE-ART OPTICAL INFRARED DETECTORS. THIS PROPOSED EFFORT HAS AS ITS OBJECTIVE THE DEVELOPMENT OF SURFACE COATINGS THAT HAVE LOW SPECTRAL EMITTANCE PROPERTIES IN THE SENSITIVE WAVELENGT ...

THE PROPOSED PROGRAM OFFERS AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH FOR PROTECTING A BATTLE GROUP FROM ATTACKS BY ADVANCED ANTI-SHIP MISSILES. SPACIALLY DISTRIBUTED COUNTERMEASURES, OF VARIOUS TYPES, ARE DEPLOYED IN A COORDINATED MANNER SO AS TO COUNTER ALL PHASES AND ASPECTS OF THREAT MISSILE WEAPON SYSTEMS. THESE COORDINATED COUNTERMEASURES TECHNIQUES ARE APPLIED SEQUENTUALLY AND THEIR EFFECTIVENESS AGAINST EACH ...

N/A

A NOVEL SIGNAL PROCESSING AND PHONETIC ANALYSIS SYSTEM OPERATING IN THE TIME DOMAIN IS PROPOSED WHICH AVOIDS THE COSTLY AND TIMECONSUMING MATHEMATICAL SOFTWARE FILTERING SCHEMES OFTEN USED. THE PITCH SYNCHRONOUS RATIOMETRIC FACTORS REPRESENTING PHONEMIC ELEMENTS OF SPEECH ARE SEPARATED FROM THE SPORADIC NOISE AND CERTAIN PERSONALITY VARIABLE FEATURES. THE PURIFIED STRING OF ENCODED PHONETIC ELEMEN ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP A VACCINE DELIVERY SYSTEM WHICH WILL STIMULATE, RAPIDLY, A STATE OF NON-SPECIFIC PROTECTION WHILE IT ENHANCES THE SPECIFIC IMMUNE RESPONSE TO THE VACCINE AND SHORTENS THE INDUCTION PERIOD FOR DEVELOPMENT OF SPECIFIC IMMUNITY. THIS WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED BY PREPARING THE VACCINE IN AN OILIN-WATER EMULSION THAT CONTAINS NON-TOXIC IMMUNOSTIMULATORS OF MICROBI ...
