An approach is desired that allows composite infrared background scenes to be synthetically generated using a data base of background objects and types. I-MATH has previously developed an algorithm for a related application, whereby actual scene images are decomposed with a Laplacian pyramid, and then each level in the pyramid is characterized by its second order statistics. Synthetic scene imag ...

Carbon-Carbon components, initially developed for the aerospace industry, have experienced minimal commercialization over the past decade due to cost constraints. C-C composites are excellent candidates for a wide variety of components such as automotive clutches, brakes, and liners, due to its friction and heat transfer characteristics. Recently, within the past five (5) years, new C-C processing ...

The GAO has reported to Congress that the loss due to fraudulent health care activity amounted to an estimated $84 billion in 1992. The ability to detect fraud and abuse is critical to the reduction of health care costs. The claims processing system will soon undergo rapid change with the introduction of rapid payment transaction processing systems. The emphasis on rapid turn around combined with ...

Many military installations and Department of Defense (DoD) contractors are subject to recently promulgated regulations that require storm water flow metering and collection of both grab samples (in response to a rainfall event of a specified intensity) and flow-weighted composite samples. Such sampling is required prior to preparation of storm water quality management plans and will be required o ...

Although great strides have been taken to generate and render problem geometries using computer automated design packages, as well as advancements in the the development of computational electromagnetics codes to solve Maxwell's equations, the link between the two is still very weak. Practical geometries have complex geometric features, abrupt changes in electromagnetic constitutive parameters, an ...

As electric vehicles are becoming more popular, and new state regulations are requiring greater electric vehicle usage, techniques are required to make their operation more efficient. One method is to improve the efficiency of the motor controller. This may be accomplished by incorporating the latest component technologies into innovative circuit topologies. Axiom technology international proposes ...
