AbTech will survey the hardware and software available to determine what capabilities should be included in a natural language understanding mission planning assistant. A language parsing and encoding system in ANN will be used to parse and encode ASCII outpuf resulting from a voice recognition system such as DragoDictate. The ASCII output from the voice recongnition system will go to the ANN la ...

AbTech Corporation proposes to apply its unique abductive information modeling (AIMTM) technology to develop a sensor fusion demonstration for command, control, communication, computer and information systems. Phase I is the necessary and sufficient precursor to an operational disparate sensor fusion for C4I applications. Phase I will show the feasibility of using AIM to model sensor data, threats ...

The extension of classical frequency domain and wavelet transformation adaptive subband decompositions result in arbitrary time frequency til. The use of a time-varying tree-structured filterbank is proposed to provide a signal dependent transform which is capable of tracking non-stationarities via local reconfigurations. Under stationary assemptions, the filterbank converges to a unitary operat ...

THE INTEGRATION OF VOICE AND DATA PRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO USE HERETOFORE IDLE SECURE VOICE LINK CAPACITY, AND THE CHALLENGE OF IMPLEMENTING PROTOCOLS SUPPORTING BOTH VOICE AND DATA. THE NEW ARCHITECTURE DEMANDS A LAYERED FUNCTIONAL IMPLEMENTATION SIMILAR TO THE INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS ORGANIZATION (ISO) OPEN SYSTEMS INTERCONNECT (OSI) MODEL AND THE ABILITY TO GLOBALLY ADDRESS ANY MESSAGE, DATA ...

N/A

A MODEL FOR PREDICTING THE PERFORMANCE IMPACT OF ENGINE DETERIORATION IS PROPOSED FOR FEASIBILITY EVALUATION. THIS MODEL WOULD ACCOUNT FOR ROTATING COMPONENT DETERIORATION SUCH AS INCREASED TIP CLEARANCES, SURFACE ROUGHNESS, LEADING EDGE BLUNTNESS AND VAN BOW AND TWIST. THE PROPOSED APPROACH USES A STAGE STACKING METHOD TO ALLOCATE LOSSES THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE WHICH ARE DEPENDENT ON OPERATING TIME ...

MASSIVELY INTERCONNECTED COMPUTERS, COMMONLY CALLED NEUROCOMPUTERS, ARE AT THE HEART OF SIXTH-GENERATION COMPUTING. TO DATE, HOWEVER, ONLY NEUROCOMPUTER SIMULATORS AND EMULATORS ARE AVAILABLE. THIS RESEARCH PROJECT WILL DEVELOP TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES TO TRANSLATE NEUROCOMPUTERS INTO COMPUTATIONALLY EQUIVALENT DIGITAL VLSI CIRCUITS. CONCEPTS FROM SWITCHING CIRCUIT THEORY WILL BE USED TO TRANSLATE IND ...

AeroSoft, Inc. proposes to develop, incorporate and validate transition and anisotropic turbulence models for improving the low-Reynolds number predictions for high-lift airfoil configurations. The turbulence-modeling package will use Menter's two equati

HIGH PREMEABILITY AND LOW POWER LOSS HEAD THE REQUIREMENTS LAID DOWN FOR A GOOD CORE MATERIAL FOR INDUCTANCE COILS AND TRANSFORMERS FOR THE APPLICATION IN HIGH EFFICIENCY POWER SUPPLY. RECENTLY FERRITE MATERIALS, SUCH AS NICKEL-ZINC-COBALT (NIZNCO) FERRITES HAVE BEEN USED FOR TRANSFORMER AND INDUCTOR CORES BECAUSE OF THEIR HIGH RESISTIVITIES AND CONSEQUENT LOWER EDDY CURRENT LOSSES. HOWEVER, THESE ...
