THE RESEARCH HEREIN PROPOSED IS INTENDED TO ADDRESS THE CONTINUING PROBLEM OF ESTIMATING SOFTWARE COSTS OVER THE LIFE OF LARGE AND COMPLEX SOFTWARE PROJETS. THE RESEARCH WILL ADDRESS ALL FACTORS THAT AFFECT SOFTWARE COSTS FROM A FUNCTIONAL STANDPOINT AS OPPOSED TO THE TRADITIONAL LINES-OF-CODE (PROGRAM SIZE) APPROACH. THE FACTORS WILL BE TRANSLATED INTO A MODEL THAT EMPHASIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF IN ...

SOLICITATION ON THE SUBJECT OF DENTAL ANESTHESIA. THE MAIN OBEJECTIVE IS TO INVESTIGATE THE FEASIBILITY OF USING A PORTABLE, SELF-CONTAINED BATTERY OPERATED LASER BIOSTIMULATOR (LSB) TO ALLEVIATE DENTAL PAIN BY SEMI SKILLED DENTAL AUXILLARY PERSONNEL ESPECIALLY IN THE BATTLEFIELD. THE PROPOSED EFFORT ENCOMPASSES THREE TASKS: 1) DESIGN, BUILD AND CHECK OUT THE ELECTRICAL AND SAFETY FEATURES ON THE ...

OF AUTOMATING THE USE OF THE UNDERLYING LEARNING CURVE (ULC)APPROACH FOR USE BY CONTACT ADMINISTATION ORGANIZATIONS. THEUNDERLYING LEARNING CURVE (ULC) TECHNIQUE COMBINES BOTH ENGINEERING AND PARAMETRIC ESTIMATING APPROACHES TO PROVIDE A "SHOULD COST" ESTIMATE OF DIRECT LABOR. ULC ALLOWS THE DISCIPLINED INTEGRATION OF THE DATA FOUND IN THE CONTRACTOR'S WORK MEASUREMENT AND COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEMS ...

THE CURRENT STATE OF ROBOTIC TECHNOLOGY IS FAR FROM THE GOALOF AUTOMATED INTELLIGENT BEINGS. IN THE INDUSTRIAL SCENARIO WHERE MUCH OF THE CURRENT ROBOT DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN APPLIEDMOST ROBOTS ARE LITTLE MORE THAN ADVANCED NUMERICAL MACHINES. LIMITED FEEDBACK SENSING AND CONTROL HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED A A MAJOR LIMITATION OF CURRENT ROBOT TECHNOLOGY.AUTOMATED OR SEMI-AUTOMATED CASUALTY ASSISTANCE AND ...

THIS PROPOSAL DDESCRIBES AN SBIR PROJECT TO ESTABLISH AN IMPROVED ANALYITCAL TECHNIQUE IN EXTERNAL AND \ OR INTERNALLY DUCTED FLOW PROPERTIES FOR HYPERSONIC ENGINE AIR LINLETS. THE GOAL OF THIS PHASE I PROJECT IS TO CLEARLY CATEGORIZE THE DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS OF PUBLISHED CFD ALGOORITHM CONSTRUCTIONS, WITHIN A UNIFIED THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK, FOR THE HYPERSONIC INLET AERODYNAMICS PROBLEM C ...
