A number of applications in other commercial as well as military sectors require that multiple distributed data sources be consulted when a specific need arises, and that the results of these consultations be presented to the user. Often, these results are complex and involve multiple documents. Presentation of such results involves automatically generating browsable documents so that the user c ...

This advanced development program is devoted to adapting SATIMO's proprietary Microwave Camera design and the associated proprietary microwave imaging codes based on Augumented Diffraction Tomography (ADT) and the Volumetric Electric Field Integral Equation (VEFIE) to provide efficient 3-D imaging of water movement along perferred flow channels during snowmelt. The customized Microwave Camera wil ...

The development of an immersive environment to visually simplify complex situations, by minimizing distractions and maximizing information presented to the user, promises to re-define the current man-machine computer interface. This proposal will define a prototype for a seated immersive interface to transport the user around in an artificial/virtual environment. The environment will surround th ...

Untethered head mounted displays must be battery operated to achieve the benefits of mobility expected for them. Thus, the display element inside should operate at low voltage and consume small amounts of power to provide maximum battery life. Battery operation also demands that the display element make the most efficient possible use of electrically produced light which illuminates the display. ...

Enterprises today rely heavily upon a wide variety of modeling methods and modeling technologies for the development of requirements for complex, software intensive systems. In general, however, (i) the different modeling methods provide very different perspectives on system information, (ii) models created with these methods are expressed in very different modeling languages, and (iii) models ar ...
