The objective of this effort is to demonstrate a prototype advanced diagnostic system for the T800 turboshaft engine using a hybrid polynomial network and production-rule expert system. The resulting system will demonstrate the feasibility of developing a revolutionary diagnostic capability which can model the engine at a system level, detect failures before they become signficant isolate faults, ...

Adroit Systems, Inc. proposes to develop a hand-held , autonomous Satellite Location and Point System (SLAPS). The system will store communication satellites' ephemeris data to calculate and display visibility windows. SLAPS also will use this data to calculate the azimuth and elevation angle to the communication satellite of interest. The system will use interferometry of Global Positioning Syste ...

See Charles River Analytic comment. It applies here also.

The use of high-temperature laser densification/annealing techniques for enhancing materials surface characteristics has opened new opportunities in material/laser-process diagnostic instrumentation. Important issues in fabrication of reproducible refractory ceramic coating film lies in understanding of the interrelationship between processing parameters and surface properties. To respond to this ...

This receiver sets forth a plan to utilize commercial GPS receivers for real time ionospheric prediction at a remote location. The project will demonstrate the feasibility of using TEC measurements and evaluate the accuracy and applicability of these measurements for improvements in HF propagation. For this we assess the predictability of the slab thickness parameter T towards solar and geophysica ...

Due to the increasing use of technology to plan and implement modern day combat, it is imperative that troop and vehicles deployment and position be known as precisely as possible. Furthermore, the unit commander must be able to quickly plan, transmit, and display friendly and adversarial troop and vehicle locations to coordinate battlefield operations effectively in the heat of battle. In this ef ...

This effort would develop the laboratory set-up of the solderability tester into a real time statistical process control tool in the manufacture of printed wiring boards. By correlation of SERA test data to copper contamination levels in the solder plating bath; and the application of statistical process control techniques, real time feedback to the plating process would be established.
