FOSTER-MILLER PROPOSES TO DEVELOP AN INNOVATIVE MULTICHIP PACKAGING (MCP) APPROACH THAT WILL RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN SILICON PACKING DENSITY AND REDUCTION IN COST COMPARED TO STATE-OF-THE-ART MCP TECHNOLOGIES. THE FOSTER-MILLER APPROACH WILL USE HIGHLY IMPERMEABLE LIQUID CRYSTAL POLYMERS TO ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR A "HERMETIC HOUSING" FOR MULTICHIP PACKAGES. A NOVEL PROCESS IS PROPOSED ...

WE PROPOSE TO INVESTIGATE THE USE OF A CW, FREQUENCY DOUBLED, DIODE-PUMPED SOLID STATE LASER IN THE GENERATION OF WATT-LEVEL BLUE LIGHT, FOR APPLICATIONS TO LARGE-SCREEN PROJECTION DISPLAYS. THE SPECIFIC SYSTEM TO BE STUDIED WOULD BE A 946-NM ND:YAG LASER EMPLOYING AN INTRACAVITY DOUBLING CRYSTAL OF POTASSIUM NIOBATE (KNBO3). SINGLE-FREQUENCY, RING-LASER OPERATION WOULD PERMIT EFFICIENT EXTRACTION ...

THIS PROPOSAL DESCRIBES A NOVEL METHOD FOR TARGETING NOISY, HIGH-VALUE TARGETS SUCH AS ENEMY ARTILLERY, HELICOPTERS AND, PERHAPS, HEAVY VEHICLES AND GENERATORS. THE CONCEPT MAKES USE OF RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE ACOUSTIC SENSORS WHICH CAN BE DEPLOYED IN ENEMY TERRITORY BY AIR DROP OR BY ARTILLERY. THE SYSTEM LOCATES TARGETS BY CORRELATING THE ACOUSTIC SIGNALS RECEIVED BY SEVERAL PAIRS OF SENSORS TO D ...

THIS PROPOSAL SEEKS TO ESTABLISH THE FEASIBILITY OF APPLYING NEWLY DEVELOPED MORPHOLOGY-BASED DETECTION ALGORITHMS TO THE POWERLINE DETECTION PROBLEM IN SAR AND MULTISPECTRAL IMAGERY AND TO DESIGN AN OVERALL PROGRAM TO INTEGRATE THIS TECHNOLOGY INTO A COMPLETE MAP VALIDATION AND UPDATING SYSTEM. THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS OUR APPROACH IS TWOFOLD. FIRST, DETECTION PERFORMANCE CAN BE DRAMATICALLY IMPROV ...
