For a decade, NATO nations, both on their own and within NATO groups have performed studies in the field of Twodimensional Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (2D-ISAR) and High Resolution Radar (HRR) Range Profiles. During that work high-quality radar imagery data of aircraft has become available through measurement campaigns. It was shown that the acquisition of a sufficiently large and represen...

Typical seatbelt designs can interfere with police officers operational work by lengthening their response time in threatening situations. Therefore, in certain operational circumstances there is a direct conflict between operational safety (effective response to threat) and driving safety (seatbelt use). To evaluate this potential conflict, 341 police officers from the southeastern US complete...

As network traffic increases, the problems associated with monitoring and analyzing the traffic on high speed networks become increasingly difficult. In this paper, we introduce a new conceptual framework based on sets of IP adresses, for coming to grips with this problem. The analytical techniques are described and illustrated with examples drawn from a dataset collected from a large operation...

Ion mobility has a direct influence on the performance of conducting polymers in a number of applications as it dictates the operational speed of the devices. We report here the enhanced ion mobility of poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) after incorporation of gelatin. The gelatin-rich domains were seen to provide an ion pathway through the composites.

Demands for higher outputs have been met by careful tailoring of steam turbines for both mechanical and electrical power generation to meet the needs of thermal efficiency and reliability at an econoinic cost. Major system components and the methods chosen for speed control are described. Important operational requirements are featured.

We describe a parallel implementation of a chart parser for a shared-memory multipro-cessor. The speed-ups obtained with this parser have been measured for a number of small natural-language grammars. For the largest of these, part of an operational question-answering system, the parser ran 5 to 7 times faster than the serial version.

This paper focuses on hardware implementations of fuzzy inference systems which provide low silicon cost, high operational speed and adaptability to different application domains. The architecture and basic building blocks of two fuzzy logic controllers are described and their functionality is illustrated with experimental results showing the capability of these systems to be applied as functio...

This paper investigates the effects of gear geometry, rotational speed and applied load, as well as lubrication conditions on surface temperature of high-speed gear teeth. The analytical approach and procedure for estimating frictional heat ̄ux and heat transfer coef®cients of gear teeth in high-speed operational conditions was developed and accounts for the effect of oil mist as a cooling medi...

This paper presents a design and implementation of a monitoring and control system for the three-phase induction motor based on programmable logic controller (PLC) technology. Also, the implementation of the hardware and software for speed control and protection with the results obtained from tests on induction motor performance is provided. The PLC correlates the operational parameters to the ...
