A number of applications in other commercial as well as military sectors require that multiple distributed data sources be consulted when a specific need arises, and that the results of these consultations be presented to the user. Often, these results are complex and involve multiple documents. Presentation of such results involves automatically generating browsable documents so that the user c ...

In this proposal, we will develop a uniform framework, called a multimedia mediator, for integrating and querying multimedia data as well as heterogenous data located on a distributed network. The multimedia mediator will use distributed computing technology to scale up to real-world applications. We will develop graphical query languages and query engines whereby an end-user can query a system ...

We shall deliver an information exploitation demonstration prototype simulatirsg actual rlata exploitation. Within this prototype we shall deliver five different types of capabilities. The first three capabilities are data mining tools. These tools shall demonstrate the capability of identifying electronic patterns or f ingerprints in data, relationships between data, and visualizations of such ...

We propose a plan sentinel prototype consisting of three components. The first component is the development of a plan mining tool which identifies and computes false or missing assumptions and deviations to plans and time phased tasks. The second component, the annotated database, computes plans which the plan mining tool access and parses into a logical annotated rule set. Finally, MAVIS, a to ...

THIS STUDY WILL EXAMINE THE FEASIBILITY AND PRACTICALITY OF UTILIZING HYDROGEN PEROXIDE OR HYDROGEN PEROXIDE COMPOUNDS/SOLUTIONS AS A LIGHT WEIGHT, COMPACT OXYGEN SOURCE FOR EMERGENCY BREATHING APPLICATIONS.

IT IS PROPOSED THAT BLOOD BAGS WHICH HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO MAINTAIN STORED BLOOD IN ITS FULLY OXYGENATED STATE WILL REDUCE RED CELL FRAGILITY AND THEREBY WILL PROLONG THE HALF-LIFE OF THE RED CELL BOTH DURING STORAGE AND FOLLOWING TRANSFUSION. THIS PROJECT WILL ATTEMPT TO VERIFY THAT MAINTAINING BLOOD IN THE OXYGENATED STATE DOES SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE BLOOD CELL FRAGILITY DURING STORAGE. IT WILL F ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS EFFORT IS TO DEMONSTRATE A PROTOTYPE CONTROLLER FOR A HOWITZER USING A HYBRID NETWORK AND PRODUCTION RULE SYSTEM. THE RESULTING ADAPTIVE CONTROLLER WILL DEMONSTRATE THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A REVOLUTIONARY CONTROLLER CAPABLE OF ADAPTING IN A DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT, MONITORING AND DIAGNOSING BEHAVIOR, AND PREDICTING FUTURE FAULTS AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS. ABTECH HAS DEVE ...

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 ...
