THE NAVY IS DEVELOPING METHODS TO DETERMINE THE SIZE AND TYPE OF DEFECTS IN HELICOPTER GEARBOXES. WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE FATIGUE-CRACK PROPAGATION CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GEARS AND BEARINGS WILL BE POSSIBLE AND ENHANCE THE ACCURACY IN PREDICTING THE FATIGUE LIFE. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO UNDERTAKE THIS STEP BY INVESTIGATING THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL STRESS DISTRIBUT ...

WE PROPOSE TO BUILD A COMPUTER-GRAPHICS, PHASE-DIFFERENCE, CRT HAPLOSCOPE. THIS WILL BE A PROGRAMMABLE, FLEXIBLE, STEREOSCOPIC DISPLAY SYSTEM USEFUL FOR: 1. RESEARCH IN BINOCULAR VISION, STRABISMUS, AND AMBLYOPIA; 2. CLINICAL SCREENING AND MEASUREMENT OF STRABISMUS AND AMBLYOPIA; AND 3. CLINICAL ORTHOPTICS. THE SYSTEM IS BUILT PRIMARILY FROM 'OFF-THE-SHELF' COMPONENTS TO REDUCE THE COST. LIQUID-CR ...

This proposal describes the implementation of improved processes for inspection of micro-electronic assemblies based upon integration and fusion of data from different sensor modalities. Initially the project will be targeted on developing a system that combines data from a CCD camera operating with visible light, a micro focus X-rays imaging system, and a laser based pointrange sensor. Although ...

The objective of the overall SBIR program is to combine the flexibility and ease-of use of Acuity's general-purpose standard computer platform based machine vision systems with the raw processing power of Adatptive Solutions' massively parallel hardware to produce easy-to-use PC/Windows based high performance machine vision systems that can be used by manufacturing engineers and factory floor pers ...

It is difficult to remove oil and AFFF from voluminous streams. Research has been continously carried out to develop new technologies to be employed in this field of application with little success. Air-sparged hydrocyclone (ASH) flotation technology is a new technology developed by the University of Utah and Advanced Processing Technologies, Inc. It combines the advantages from both conventional ...

Low power has been recently elevated to one of the most critical issues in circuit design, affecting circuit reliability, battery life, and heat sinking. In spite of this demand, surprisingly little support from CAD vendors exists for automated low power circuit design. Alternative System Concepts (ASC) and Princeton University propose to design and develop a much needed power optimizing design ...

Enemy forces can be crippled quickly at the beginning of a war by separating the enemies command and control structure from its combat forces and other elements of its defensive network. A false target generator has the potential to saturate or tie up an enemies air defense net and increase survivability of our own airborne assets. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is an optimum candidate for a dec ...
