This effort will develop an HLA compliant representation of non-visual stimuli with the intention of utilizing the models developed in Phase I effort to provide data for "human" mannequin stimulation in Phase II. The Phase II goal is to have the mannequin respon in a physiologically realistic manner to the non-visual stimuli data that will be passed to it over a network and via an interface. Suc ...

Federal, state, local, and military missions for Disaster Relief, Emergency Action, and Humanitarian Assistance (DREAHA) require all of the traditional command, control, communications, computer and intelligence (C4I) functions used by military units for traditional warfare. New civilian systems that leverage and reuse military C4I systems to plan, prepare, identify, vector, monitor, and recover ...

Digital holographic data storage systems currently under development have Terabit storage capacity, as is necessary for the next generation of huge entertainment and business databases. However, even at Gbit/second transfer rates, each search of such a database for a particular item will take a minimum of a quarter of an hour of dedicated, high-speed computing time. In contrast, an all-optical s ...

Pacific-Sierra Research Corporation (PSR) proposes to develop a robotic alignment system for aircraft assembly using its non-contact thermographic technology. This automated robotic-thermographic positioning system will be capable of accurately locating and monitoring subsurface holes and edges under exterior panels or skins. The non-contact thermographic system will include a portable high-spee ...

Extended exposure to environments associated with motion sickness causes general lethargy and malaise, coupled with a decreased capacity for teamwork and resulting in the degradation of performance. In order to address the problem of motion sickness specifically associated with the use of Helmet Mounted Displays; (HMDs) Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop an Automatic Vesti ...

Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to design schemes that will extend multiuser detection and interference suppression technologies. This will be done in the context of multiuser Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) communications for wireless multirate and variable-rate network communication applications. The importance of this project lies in its combination of advanced technologies wit ...

Physical Optics Corporation (POC), R&D Division, proposes to develop a highly-multiplexed, easy-to-install system for use in the monitoring and prevention of corrosion in aircraft and other structural components. The system is based on in-line fiber optic Bragg gratings that are made intrinsically sensitive to corrosion promoters such as moisture and to corrosion by-products such as hydroxy- ...

Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop an innovative high Resolution Acousto-optic Imaging Sensor (RAIS) device based on limitations of existing technologies for underwater imaging. The compactly packaged RAIS device comprises an AOLCD, ultrasound generator, acoustic lens, and CCD camera. The acoustic ultrasound transducers produce ultrasonic waves. The acoustic waves propagating ...
