In this effort, intelligent strategies will be developed for turbine engine failure detection, health monitoring, and control. This effort will accomodate an integrated intelligent control approach for the design of a high performance control system for propulsion systems based on advanced sensor processing, fuzzy adaptive control and neural fuzzy control integration. The ultimate goal is to ens ...

This project is intended to purpose a fractal dimension based object detection approach for man-made objects in the ultra-wideband foliage-penetrating (FOPEN) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. Since man-made objects are significantly different from natural ones from the point of view of fractal dimension, fractal dimension estimates can be used to characterize images and distinguish man-mad ...

OpenDoc, the latest object technology standard for compound documents, is now available to build reusable, distributed, cross-platform software components. End users can tailor or customize their information into effective, efficient, and multi-media type documents. OpenDoc simplifies the workflow by allowing users to choose and combine application features as well as providing for seamless appl ...

Presently available commercial and military sonar systems can detect, localize, and classify buried underwater mines and hazardous waste containers only under the most benign environmental conditions. Even then, the mapping rates which are realized are too small for the areas which must be surveyed for operationally effective mine countermeasures or cost effective hazardous material remediation. ...

The purpose is to improve the sensitivity and producibility of the Electro Optic Transducer thru the use of advanced electro optic crystals and related configuration changes. This will allow for greater airplane fiber system loses, more rugged crystal configuration, less critical optical alignment, and more latitude for crystal mounting. Rockwell Science Center will provide the crystals on a cos ...

BCL proposes developing a portable, efficient,'principle-and-parameters' based Universal Voice Command Interface System called Papins that can operate and control computers and machinery with spoken English. By using off-the-shelf voice recognition system and a government and Binding (GB) Theory based natural language parser, BCL will demonstrate the feasibility of developing a system that can be ...
