Abstract Accurately diagnosing epilepsy is very challenging and time consuming because clinicians rarely observe the actual seizure, and there are many different types of seizures and epilepsy syndromes with differing presentations. Furthermore, other neurological disorders can be mimics of seizures leading to erroneous diagnosis, inappropriate treatments with significant potential adverse events, ...

An intelligent flight control system is developed with learning capabilities and a high degree of assurance that can be certified by the FAA and tested on a modular reconfigurable UAS.nbsp; Existing lack of intelligence, adaptability and high performance of current automatic flight controllers is addressed by taking advantage of high-performance computing platforms, state-of-the-art machine learni ...

Project SummaryAbstractEpilepsy affects approximatelyof the world populationtotaling andgtmillion patientsWhile anti epileptic drugAEDtreatment is successful in many patientsof patients continue to experience seizures causing physicians to adjust change medications or other treatment parametersCurrent diagnostic tools are incapable of differentiating between patients experiencing a recent seizure ...

ABSTRACT Commercially available biosensors are designed to measure only one molecule at a time at a given recording site. This is a problem because chemical signals in the brain do not work in isolation; rather, neurotransmission involves many chemical species simultaneously released and little is known about how specific neurochemicals fluctuate relative to one another. Understanding these relati ...

The USAF has identified the need for ADS-B systems for UAVs. Details of Phase 1 work are discusssed. Methods to enhance ADS-B functionality which were identified and investigated in Phase I are presented. A detailed Phase II work plan consisting of software design, simulations, hardware development and flight testing is presented.

Thermoplastic composites materials have shown potential to surpass the properties of aerospace thermoset composites for many years. However, the rigid material form, high processing temperatures and high cost have rendered them impractical for most warfighter applications. Recent advances in lower-cost automation, improved material processability / cost and precision heating systems have demonstra ...
