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 ...

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 ...

Diamondlike multinetwork and network-crystalline atomic-scale composite coatings constitute a new class of materials with unique properties including high adhesion to virtually any substrate (including materials, crystalline and glass dielectrics, plastics), excellant thermal and diffusion barrier properties, good hardness, high elasticity and flexibility, very high thermal shock resistance, extre ...

One of the major problems facing data management today is that collection capabilities far outstrip analysis capabilities. This is particularly true of scientific and engineering data sets. Analysis methods require access that cross file/data granule boundaries. We propose to address this problem by integrating unified data models of scientific data as embodied by the widely used data formats CD ...

PacAstro has shown that significant cost reduction and operational advantages are possible for small orbital and suborbital mission using a simple pressure fed, LOX/Kerosene vehicle configuration. Under private and government funding, we have begun development of the engine which is critical to realize extremely low cost, highly reliable and highly capable space transportation. Beginning with a p ...

The objective of this Phase I research is to implement a conservative method for transferring data across arbitrary nonoverlapping zonal interfaces in the CFD code GASP version 3.0. This task will involve a linear interpolation of primitive variables in three dimensions with a gradient weighted flux correction method aimed at maintaining global flux conservation. For applications such as complex i ...
