The article aims to estimate potential speech impact military doctrines’ texts with help metaphor power quantitative index. methodology based on calculating indices density (MDI), intensity (MII) funct...

Visual monitoring with CMOS image sensors opens up a variety of new applications for wireless sensor nodes, ranging from military surveillance to in vivo molecular imaging. In particular, the ability to detect motion can enable more intelligent power management through on-demand duty cycling and reduced data-retention requirements. Conventional imager designs focus on achieving higher resolutio...

Space qualified cryocoolers have been extensively developed for large military and commercial satellite electro-optical (EO) infrared (IR) missions, but not so for microsatellites due to the complexity of the thermodynamics and fluid mechanics of the mechanical refrigeration system. The trend in military responsive space programs is leaning towards microsatellites that are cheaper and faster to...

Rapid advances in consumer electronics have led to the anomaly that consumer off-the-shelf gaming hardware and software provide better interactive graphics than military and other specialized systems costing orders of magnitude more. UTSAF (Unreal Tournament Semi-Automated Force) is bridging software written to take advantage of the power of gaming systems by allowing them to participate in dis...
