THIS RESEARCH WILL EXPAND UPON PRELIMINARY STUDIES THAT DEMONSTRATED THE FEASIBILITY OF A SOLID-PHASE, FLOW-THROUGH DEVICE TO CARRY OUT CATALYTIC HYDROGEN TRANSFER REACTIONS. THESE STUDIES USED PALLADIUM-COATED GLASS FIBER FILTERS AS WELL AS SILICA/POLYVINYLCHLORIDE MEMBRANE. PHASE I RESEARCH WILL EVALUATE OTHER SUPPORTS, FOR EXAMPLE, CONTROLLED PORE GLASS AND SILICA/POLYETHYLENE MEMBRANES, AS MAT ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF OUR PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP NEW MEANS OF PRODUCING SHORT LIVED RADIOISOTOPES FOR POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY (PET). THIS MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUE IS CAPABLE OF DISCERNING AND IMAGING MEDICALLY INTERESTING PHENOMENA, SUCH AS THE ACTIVITY OF VARIOUS PARTS OF THE BRAIN, OXYGEN FLOW IN THE BODY, AND OTHER QUANTITIES WHICH ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE BY ANY OTHER DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQU ...

INNOVATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNIQUES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO SOLVE MANY COMPLEX AIR FORCE PROBLEMS. ADVANCES IN COMPUTING SPEED AND EXISTING SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY ALONE ARE UNLIKELY TO RESULT IN REAL-TIME AERONAUTICAL SYSTEMS CAPABLE OF MEETING THE COMPLEX REQUIREMENTS OF THE AIR FORCE MISSION. RATHER, AN ALTERNATIVE METHODOLOGY SUCH AS ABDUCTIVE TECHNOLOGY, A NEW TECHNOLOGY PRESENTED IN THIS ...

THE OVERALL OBJECTIVES OF PHASE I ARE TO DEVELOP FEASIBLE, EFFECTIVE SYSTEM CONCEPTS FOR UTILIZING SPACE-BASED ASSETS AS PLATFORMS FOR RF DECEPTION EQUIPMENT IN SUPPORT OF THE BATTLEFIELD COMMANER. THIS PHASE WILL RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SPECIFIC SYSTEM DESIGNS WHICH IMPLEMENT THE CONCEPTS DEEMED EFFECTIVE. THE STUDY WILL FOCUS ON DEFINING THE SUITABILITY OF SPACE ASSETS TO THE FOLLOWING USES ...

XMCO HAS IDENTIFIED AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONDUCT RESEARCH TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A COUNTY AGENT ADVISOR SYSTEM (CAAS). THIS INNOVATIVE CONCEPT WOULD INVESTIGATE THE APPLICATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGY, SPECIFICALLY HYPERMEDIA TECHNOLOGY WITH EMBEDDEDEXPERT SYSTEMS, TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND REQUIREMENTS OF COUNTY AGENTS. THIS MEETS A USDA NEED FOR INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY ...

THE ROTARY WING INDUSTRY HAS STRIVED TO DEVELOP A BEARINGLESS MAIN ROTOR (BMR), HAVING NO MECHANICAL BEARINGS. ALL TRUE BMR SYSTEMS ARE LIMITED BY THE STRENGTH IN STATIC-FATIGUE LOADS VERSUS FLAPWISE FLEXIBILITY, RESULTING IN LIMITED "G" MANEUVERS FROM A HIGHLY RESPONSIVE ROTOR SYSTEM. ATI'S SOFT HUB ROTOR CONCEPT ALLOWS TILTING OF THE ROTOR DISC MOVING THE VIRTUAL HINGE INBOARD ELIMINATING THIS U ...

PROJECT OBJECTIVES ARE TO MODEL AND ANALYZE CURRENT NAVAL SUPPLY SYSTEM ORGANIZATION AND ITS ASSOCIATED INTERFACES AS IT RELATES TO THE SUPPORTABILITY OF THE WEAPON SYSTEM ACQUISITION PROGRAM AND DOD CALS INITIATIVES. OUTCOME OF PROCESS MODELING WILL INCLUDE IDENTIFICATION OF UNIVERSAL INDEXING SCHEME, PROPOSED INFORMATION SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE AND PROTOTYPE MODEL FOR PURPOSES OF DEMONSTRATION AND V ...
