The goal of this proposed research is to prove the feasibility of a software solution to provide intelligent tutoring for the REGIS Training Center. Because students often learn best by example, we intend to design a tutoring system around example problems. We will apply the Artificial Intelligence (AI) technique of Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) to elicit and represent the example problems (or cases) ...

In Phase I, we will investigate a case-based reasoning (CBR) approach to intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) and explore the feasibility of semi-automated/automated course authoring techniques to speed collection and structuring of domain knowledge. We will develop a prototype example-based ITS, enhanced with multimedia, within a specific Navy instructional domain and a generic ITS architec ...

In Phase I, we will investigate a case-based reasoning (CBR) approach to Operator Assessment and Operator Machine Interface Enhancement and explore the feasibility of semi-automated/automated domain knowledge entry techniques to speed collection and structuring of domain knowledge. We will develop a prototype case-based Operator Assessment and Operator Machine Interface Enhancement System (O ...

ACCELERATED SMALL SPECIMEN SCREENING TESTS FOR SCC RESISTANCE ARE NECESSARY FOR COST/TIME EFFICIENT EVALUATION OF WELD/BASE METAL FORMULATIONS IN WELD OR ALLOY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS AND FOR QUALITY CONTROL OF WELDED HY-130 STEELS. TEST DATA THAT IS CAPABLE OF MEASURING THE STRESS INTENSITY FOR CRACK INITIATION IN CATHODICALLY PROTECTED VESSELS IN NATURAL SEA WATER IS NECESSARY FROM DESIGN CONSIDERA ...

Holographic Data Storage Systems (HDSS) have the capability of providing large capacity, high transfer rates, and short access times. Recently a major step forward has been made in the demonstration of this technology at Stanford University in Professor Hesseling's group, by storing, archiving and retrieving the first digital data in a HDSS. In this demonstration, color images, sound, compresse ...

We propose to design and fabricate a high performance anamorphic adapter for commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) infrared array cameras. With this anamorphic system, the viewing angle along the preferred axis can be maximized and the viewing angle along the orthogonal axis can be diminished while an equal projected area per pixel can be maintained. The viewing angles for the proposed system with an is ...

THIS PROPOSAL DESCRIBES A PROGRAM TO DEVELOP A COMPACT, RUGGED, AND AUTONOMOUS PROGRAMMABLE LASER DOPPLER VELOCIMETER (LDV) FOR MARINE APPLICATIONS. THE SYSTEM WILL INCLUDE TWO MAJOR INNOVATIONS IN LDV TECHNOLOGY: A PROGRAMMABLE DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR (DSP), AND A PULSED LASER DIODE. THE DSP PROVIDES THE HIGHEST COMPUTATIONAL POWER AND PROGRAMMABILITY IN A COMPACT SIZE ALLOWING THE IMPLEMENTATIO ...

THIS PROPOSAL PRESENTS AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO DETERMINING THE PROPAGATION PATH OF ACOUSTIC DATA RECEIVED BY A THIN LINE TOWED ARRAY. WE MAKE USE OF THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN SEAFLOOR ACOUSTIC MODELING CAPABILITY AS WELL AS EMPLOYING THE EMERGING AND POWERFUL TECHNIQUES ASSOCIATED WITH ARTIFICAL NEURAL NETWORKS. THE PROPOSED NEURAL NETWORKS WILL BE DESIGNED TO IDENTIFY THE PATH OF PROPAGATION F ...
