CURRENT FRAME BUFFER TECHNOLOGY IS NOT OPTIMIZED FOR USE WITH GENERAL PURPOSE PROCESSORS. THIS PROPOSAL IS FOR A PROGRAM TO DEVELOP A BREADBOARD FRAME BUFFER WHICH IS EFFICIENTLY ACCESSED BY SUCH PROCESSORS. THE FRAME BUFFER IS BASED ON THE VME BUS AND IS SCALABLE TO LARGE AMOUNTS OF IMAGE MEMORY AND VERY FAST IMAGE ACQUISITION RATES. ALL IMAGE DATA IS RANDOMLY ACCESSIBLE AT HIGH SPEED. ANTICIPATE ...

THE ITAP REQUIRES ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY IN FABRICATION AND IN TEAM INTERACTION AS WELL. WE HAVE ASSEMBLED A CAPABLE TEAM, EAGER TO ACCOMPLISH THIS TASK. THE TECHNOLOGY FOR AIRFRAME CONSTRUCTION INVOLVES ADVANCED USE OF VACUUM FORMED GLASS AND CARBON FIBER REINFORCED EPOXY SKINS ON A ROHA-CELL PVC FOAM SANDWICH. THIS WILL PERMIT THE FABRICATION OF THE MAJOR AIRFRAME COMPONENTS IN 2 HALVES, A TOP AND ...

A COLD CATHODE CAPABLE OF DELIVERING SEVERAL HUNDRED AMPS PER SQUARE CENTIMETER (UNDER AMBIENT CONDITIONS WITHOUT THE INTRODUCTION OF CESIUM VAPOR) WOULD BE VALUABLE FOR A NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS IN HIGH POWER HIGH FREQUENCY ELECTRONICS. ONE OF THE MOST HIGHLY SOUGHT APPLICATIONS IS THAT OF CATHODE RAY TUBE VISUAL DISPLAYS. DECREASED VOLTAGE REQUIREMENTS WOULD SIMPLIFY THE POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS ...

The objective of the proposed program is to develop and demonstrate a low-cost, high thermal conductivity, low mass density material for use in electronic packaging. Target material characteristics are: less than aluminum heat sinks, thermal conductivity at least 200 W/m-k, and mass density less than aluminum. To address this objective, Cast Metal Composites, Inc. will produce lightweight, high ...

The proposed experimental program demonstrates the technical feasibility of growing single crystals of technologically important ceramics by the solid state method. The proposed method relies on discontinuous grain growth which is often regarded as undesirable and deleterious during the sintering of many ceramics. In order to demonstrate the technical feasibility and versatility of the solid sta ...

The proposed experimental program demonstrates the technical feasibility of creating near-net shape single crystal components of technologically important ceramics. We propose to fabricate a near-net shape single crystal multilayer electrostrictive displacement actuator using a combination of the solid state method and advanced ceramics processing. The near net shape single crystal multilayer el ...

We propose the development of a system for visually tracking and interpreting human motion for the purpose of controlling devices, interacting with virtual worlds, and interpreting overhead reconnaissance video data. That is, we intend to implement a gesture recognition and device control system. In many application, using gestures for device control is more practical than other forms, such as s ...

Curriculum corporation proposes to research and development an innovative platform independent intrusion detection and response tool. The tool would be based on DCE in order to support mainstream computer platform. The ability to automatically recover from an information attack will reply on 'on-the-fly' modification of the DCE security service. The tool is innovative in that the response to ...

A PROJECT IS PROPOSED TO INVESTIGATE THE FEASIBILITY OF COMBINING A PHASE-CHANGE NON-LINEAR OPTICAL MATERIAL WITH A PHOTOREFRACTIVE MATERIAL IN THIN LAYERS TO ACHIEVE A THREE DIMENSIONAL MASS STORAGE MEDIUM. ORGANIC COMPOUNDS POSSESSING GOOD POLARIZABILITY ALONG WITH COMPOSITION CONDUCIVE TO PHASE CHANGE MECHANICS WILL BE TESTED FOR SHG AND PHASE CHANGE ABILITY, THEN PREPARED IN THIN FILMS ON PHOT ...
