Clear Science Corp. proposes to develop efficient and scalable software for analyzing complex plasma flows associated with micro-satellite propulsion systems. The computational tool will provide a framework for synthesizing kinetic and continuum modelsand multiple grid topologies. The goal is a code capable of accurately predicting the flow dynamics of hybrid mixtures of background gases, neutral ...

Information extraction (IE) systems assist analysts to assimilate information from electronic documents. This task will develop an automated, domain porting toolkit for customizing a generic IE system for a specific domain. Customization is required atvarious levels: (i) lexicon, (ii) glossaries of names of people, organizations, locations, (iii) relationships between key entities, e.g. an orga ...

This proposal addresses two major enhancements to current information extraction (IE) technology. The first concerns the development of higher levels of IE, at the corpus level, and finally across corpora including structured data. T he second objectiveconcerns text mining from a rich IE repository assimilated from multiple corpora. IE is only a means to an end, which is the discovery of hidden ...

This proposal addresses the design and development of a temporal model to be incorporated as part of an information extraction system. The model will enable time stamping of critical information such as relationships and events; this in turns enablessophisticated visualization of information on timelines. Advanced temporal reasoning, including tracking of reference time shifts will be pursued. ...

The goal for Phase II is to develop tools that provide significant improvements in automated database generation from imagery. These tools will focus on the automatic removal of time-specific artifacts including shadows and vehicles. They will also beused to extract information from the image to generate and insert correlated 3D cultural models such as building, trees, and other objects into the ...

The goal of this effort is to provide an application program for the review and release of Microsoft Office file formats within information domains comprised of multiple security and/or privacy levels. This initiative proposes to develop a prototype,robust file inspection application designed to expose data hidden in files created by Microsoft Office applications including Microsoft Word, PowerPoi ...

The goal of this project is to develop an XML-driven platform that will rapidly determine the hazards associated with a collection of chemicals at a given location. Beginning with a query consisting of location, date, and time, the CHAIN (Chemical HazardAssessment Information Network) system will prioritize the materials at the location to provide a ranked list by hazard along with recommended pro ...

Today's weapon systems and engagement doctrine are highly complex. Attempting to understand and glean important details from tabular data, end game results, and 2-D graphs is difficult. Providing a 3-D real-time representation consolidates all availablekinematic information into a single presentation. This enables observation of engineering level information in the physical realm by viewing actual ...

Freestyle Technology, Inc. proses to design an build a six-camera video imaging device for use in navigation research. The individual cameras will be attached to two-meter tethers to allow for flexible placement on a variety of platforms. All cameraswill be genlocked to a common signal to assure that corresponding pixels in each camera are sampled at the same time. A user interface will be prov ...

Freestyle Technologies, Inc. proposes to perform exploratory research in the area of munition-deployed microprobes. The baseline microprobe will consist of simple acoustic and sesmic sensors and will be deployed by an autonomous munition at locations ofinterest. Once deployed, the microprobes will form an ad hoc wireless network and passively monitor for targets. The microprobes will signal the ...
