Not Available The proposed microchannel processor would extract water and/or other volatile compounds from fine-grained dust and regolith deposits found on the surfaces of Mars, the Moon, and asteroids. The core technology is an array of microchannel processors, each o

Introduction of aquatic nuisance species (ANS) by ballast water poses a significant ecological and economical threat to the United States harbors. Open ocean exchange of ballast water outside the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in waters greater than 2000 meters deep is the primary method used to reduce this threat. To verify that ballast exchange has occurred, the United States Coast Guard needs ...

Numerous DoD systems critically rely on accurately capturing nanosecond transient signals. For sampling rates of 1 GS/s or greater, conventional flash A/D converters (ADCs) suffer from limited resolution (~8 bits), high power (ca. 5 watts/channel), and high cost. Extensive modeling conducted by Dakota Technologies, Inc. (DTI) and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) during Phase I proved t ...

THE INVESTIGATION HAS THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES: 1. ESTABLISH THAT MODULAR NEURAL NETWORKS, WORKING SYNERGISTICALLY WITH GENETIC SEARCH, PROVIDE A UNIQUELY POWERFUL MEANS OF INTELLIGENTLY CONTROLLING HEURISTIC MATHEMATICAL ALGORITHMS FOR LARGE-SCALE VEHICLE ROUTING AND SCHEDULING PROBLEMS. THE DESIGN LENDS ITSELF NATURALLY TO PARALLEL COMPUTING ON COMPUTING NETWORKS. 2. CODE A PROTOTYPE SYSTEM USIN ...

The project combined software and an on-site training program for persons with disabilities and their families who lack the usual prerequisites for success in computer-based instruction created in Phase I into an empirically validated commercial product. The technical objectives of the project are: (1) the development of a unique virtual school house model to meet the identified needs of individ ...
