IT IS PROPOSED TO EXPLORE THE FEASIBILITY OF ADDING ADAPTIVE AND STOCHASTIC FEATURES TO A CONTENT-ADDRESSABLE MEMORY (CAM) IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THE DEVICE BECOMES CAPABLE OF LEARNING FROM INSTRUCTION AND EXPERIENCE. THE ALGORITHM OF THE ADAPTIVE STOCHASTIC CONTENTADDRESSABLE MEMORY (ASCAM) IS THE SAME AS THAT OF ADAPTIVE NEURAL NETWORKS, VIZ., ITERATIVE THRESHOLDED MATRIX-BINARY VECTOR MULTIPLICA ...

AS NUCLEAR PLANTS GROW OLDER, ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS MAY AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF PLANT CONCRETE AND STEEL STRUCTURES. WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP A STRATEGY WHICH CAN BE APPLIED TO CONCRETE STRUCTURES. IT WILL BE DIRECTED TOWARDSTHE DEVELOPMENT OF METHODS TO ANALYZE AND UNDERSTAND AGING EFFECTS, INCLUDING THE COMBINED EFFECTS OF TIME, TEMPERATURE, RADIATION, HUMIDITY, STRESS, CHEMICAL ENVIRONMENT AN ...

We propose to build CodeFault, a system for learning models of faulty software engineering based on patterns of human behavior. Flawed sofwtare is notably costly in terms of maintenance, but the costs are even higher when vulnerabilities introduced by such code are exploited by data breaches and ransomware. Our Phase II proposal builds on the design and feasibility investigation work we completed ...

INCREASED PERFORMANCE DEMANDS BEING MADE ON RPV'S WILL SOON REQUIRE AN ALL-WEATHER ICE PROTECTION CAPABILITY. THE OBJECT OF OUR STUDY WILL BE TO APPLY UNIQUE ICING SENSOR AND ICE PROTECTION TECHNOLOGIES WHICH WERE DEVELOPED BY INNOVATIVE DYNAMICS (IDC) UNDER A RECENT NASA SBIR CONTRACT. WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY DEICED A RPV TYPE WING SECTION LEADING EDGE DURING PRELIMINARY TESTS PERFORMED WITHIN OUR I ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED RESEARCH IS TO BUILD A USER-FRIENDLY, PERSONAL COMPUTER BASED WORKSTATION FOR PERFORMING TRAC-BWR ANALYSIS. THE SOFTWARE WILL ALLOW A USER TO READ-IN DATA FROM EXISTING TRAC-BWR INPUT DECKS (ASCII), DRAW NODALIZATION DIAGRAM, MODIFY INPUT, AUTOMATICALLY RENODALIZE THE VESSEL, CHAN AND PIPE COMPONENTS, GENERATE INPUT DECK, SUBMIT JOB, BRING BACK PLOTDATA, DISPLAY RESUL ...

NEW VELOCITY MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES, WHICH USE ARF LASER INDUCED FLUORESCENCE (LIF) IN CO2 AND IN CO FORMED BY THE LASER, ARE PROPOSED.THE NEW TECHNIQUES WILL COMBINE WITH OTHER LIF TECHNIQUES, UNDER DEVELOPMENT BY US, WHICH MEASURE DENSITY AND TEMPERATURE TO FORM WITH THEM AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR SINGLE PULSE MEASUREMENT OF THREE INDEPENDENT FLOW PARAMETERS. ALL THREE TECHNIQUES ARE MOST SUITED ...

The use of continuous glucose monitors can be an invaluable management tool for patients afflicted by glycemic variability due to critical illness or trauma. Maintaining stable glucose levels enhances health and lowers care costs, and individuals equipped with continuous glucose data have significantly improved outcomes. Profusa has developed highly miniaturized, injectable, tissue-like, glucose s ...

Freedom Photonics and its team partners propose to develop in this program a novel Focal Plane Array (FPA) based on Germanium Silicon Tin (GeSiSn) on Silicon technology, capable of detecting wavelengths in the Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) range, up to 2200 nm. The FPAs will be developed in PIN photodiode and Avalanche Photodiode (APD) configuratios. These FPAs have the potential of providing low cost ...
