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 ...

Ontogenic neural networks, those which automatically discover their topology during synthesis, offer substantial advantages over traditional machine learning techniques. They also have the potential to offer many benefits in several areas of avionics research. Among potential application areas is the ability to predict or forecast the behavior of a seemingly random or chaotic system. This proposal ...

Automated processing of sensor/signal data and other non-sensor information provides substantial force-multiplying benefits. The timely and cost-effective leveraging of these types of information provides a significant advantage over adversaries not possessing comparable information processing capabilities. The intelligent processing of diverse types of data provides a target assessment technology ...

Intelligent processing of battelfield sensor data and other information provides substantial force-multiplying benefits. The timely and cost-effective leveraging of information provides a signficant advantage over adversaries not possessing comparable information processing capabilties. Among these is automatic target recognition (ATR). Under previous and current Federal funding, AbTech has develo ...

The single most important type of metal/SiC junction is the n-type, rectifying Schottky diode, because it is the voltage blocking junction in all majority carrier devices. A reliable junction of this type for n-type SiC is the key to its development for high temperature, power conditioning electronics. Phase I will demonstrate that osmium is the ideal metal for forming such junctions. Phase II wil ...

New developments in materials and components create a need for more effective controllers for flexible, lightweight, high-performance systems in DoD, industry, civil infrastructure, and space applications. Included are automated loading and material handling systems, tank flexible gun barrels, vibration and oscillation in automobiles, bridges, and overhead cranes. The control problems associated ...

WE PROPOSE TO DEMONSTRATE THE FEASIBILITY OF OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNITION (OCR) ON A VLSI NEUROCOMPUTER. THE OCR SYSTEM WILL USE STATE OF THE ART ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK CLASSIFIERS ONADAPTIVE SOLUTIONS' CNAPS NEUROCOMPUTER CHIPS. THE CNAPS CHIPS OFFERUNPRECEDENTED PERFORMANCE OF ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS. THE IMAGE PREPROCESSING OF THE OCR SYSTEM WILL ALSO EXECUTE ON THE CNAPS CHIPS. THE GOAL ...
