THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS EFFORT IS TO DEMONSTRATE A PROTOTYPE CONTROLLER FOR A HOWITZER USING A HYBRID NETWORK AND PRODUCTION RULE SYSTEM. THE RESULTING ADAPTIVE CONTROLLER WILL DEMONSTRATE THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A REVOLUTIONARY CONTROLLER CAPABLE OF ADAPTING IN A DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT, MONITORING AND DIAGNOSING BEHAVIOR, AND PREDICTING FUTURE FAULTS AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS. ABTECH HAS DEVE ...

This Phase I project will consist of a fesibility study in preparation for Phase II project in which a complete 20-hour sign language videocourse will be produced reflecting the entry level skills, learning styles, learning preferences, and sign-processing strategies of hearing adult beginning learners. The primary hearing populations for this instruction are (a) current and prospective teachers ...

41299 November 19, 1996 FM Technologies, Inc. In the Relativistic Klystron Two-Beam Accelerator, which is currently under development, power from a low-energy, high-current, bunched beam is converted to micro-waves via the klystron mechanism and used to provide power for a high-energy linac, specifically a future Next Linear Collider upgrade to l.0 TeV. ...

Monopole and dipole antennas have been determined to radiate most efficiently when the size of the antenna is proportional to the frequency being transitted or received, ie.e, one-quarter, one-half or one wavelength. As the operating frequency is varied from that ideal frequency, nulls begin to develolp which threaten the integrity of the communication link. Experience has shown that small excusio ...

Not Available Tunnel ventilation is an effective means of protecting and enhancing the productivity of livestock (especially swine and egg layers) in large scale confinement barns. The capital and operating costs for these fan installations typically represents a significant fraction of the total costs to the livestock producer. The Phase I research program has shown that significant improvements ...

THIS IS A PROPOSAL TO PRODUCE AN ACOUSTIC ARRAY DESIGN SUITABLE FOR MAKING ACOUSTIC MEASUREMENTS OF MODEL HELICOPTERS IN A WIND TUNNEL. THIS "FEASIBILITY DESIGN" WILL DEMONSTRATE THE THEORETICAL FEASIBILITY OF SUCH A WIND TUNNEL ARRAY, AND WILL QUANTIFY THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH AN ARRAY. THE WORK WILL INVESTIGATE THE DESIGN TRADEOFFS AVAILABLE AND WILL ESTABLISH THE COMPUTATIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR A ...

The contractor has patented technology for a unique process that directly converts a two-dimensional acoustic disturbance, such as a wave front, into an intensity-mapped visible image in real-time without electronic circuitry; i.e., it is a direct pressure gradient imager. This device can allow a small, battery powered acoustic source to be easily located and ranged using a small flashlight sized ...

The goal of this project is to develop and demonstrate a data fusion system for all active and passive submarine acoustic sensors. The system will perform association of all data associated with a common contact. Associated data will be used to provide improved track estimates and classification performance uncluttered shallow water environments. In Phase I a conceptual design will be developed ...
