Efforts to apply active noise and vibration control commercially, while intensifying, continue to be hampered by the cost of the computers required to implement the active algorithms. Currently, the cost of wide-band control is prohibitive for lightly damped systems such as precision structures or highly reverberant acoustic spaces, even if the system has just one canceling actuator and one error ...

A progressive system development is proposed which uses Bayesian methodology for combined detect, track, localize, and classify. The core paradigm focuses on detection followed by various estimation schemes to extract information on contact type, track, and location from the detector. A rapid prototype development using the Generic Multipurpose Processor (GMP) will provide optimal detection ...

In the last several years there has been an explosion of information regarding the nature of peptide antigens expressed on human tumors together with class I molecules encoded in the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) and recognized by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). One very successful approach aimed at the identification of these antigens, termed Direct Identification of Relevant Epitopes for ...

The final prototype of the Microcircuit Board Repair apparatus will be capable of laying down or lifting metal strips with micrometer dimensions. Under real time computer control, the translation stages will be fully automated or manually controlled. The end user will monitor the process in real time using a camera attached with the source. Laying down the metal lines will be done using Laser C ...
