THE REQUIREMENTS OF SPACE WARFARE DICTATE THE NEED FOR INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES TO SOLVE COMPLEX SPACE OBJECT CLASSIFICATION PROBLEMS. ADVANCES IN COMPUTING SPEED AND EXISTING SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY ALONE ARE UNLIKELY TO RESULT IN A REAL-TIME DISCRIMINATION SYSTEMS CAPABLE OF MEETING THE COMPLEX REQUIREMENTS OF SPACE OBJECT SURVEILLANCE AND CLASSIFICATION. RATHER, AN ALTERNATIVE METHODOLOGY SUCH AS AB ...

The objective of this effort is to demonstrate a superior prototype diagnostic system and controller for electrical power systems based on AbTech's abductive polynomial network technology. This technology enables designers to semi-automatically model the complex and dynamic behavior of very sophisticated aerospace power systems using models comprised of a network of polynomial equations (abductive ...

Emerging hardware architectures offer attractive performance opportunities for those software applications that are able to exploit them. However, many scientific codes written over the last decade require an intensive porting effort in order to take advantage of new hardware architectures. Component-based software architectures can ameliorate this effort by making it possible to develop interop ...

Operation of heavy equipment results in the generation of high sound levels. These sounds (exhaust from diesel or turbine engines, clatter of vehicle parts and cargo, movement of joints, etc.), when taken together result in a characteristic acoustic signature. Depending on terrain and environmental conditions this sound may carry several kilometers. This unintentional noise offers an opportunit ...

Not Available Upon completion of our Air Force SBIR Phase I and Phase II, contracts, the Air Force will have the necessary software and whole-hand feedback hardware for unprecedented simulation of haptic interaction between hands and control devices, paying back in multiples the Air Force's financial investment in the contracts. With the proposed high-fidelity control-panel simulator, the Air For ...

This Phase I project will consist of a fesibility study in preparation for Phase II project in which a complete 20-hour sign language videocourse will be produced reflecting the entry level skills, learning styles, learning preferences, and sign-processing strategies of hearing adult beginning learners. The primary hearing populations for this instruction are (a) current and prospective teachers ...
