NOVEL METHOD FOR THE TRANSDERMAL DETECTION OF ALCOHOL

Not Available SDRE technique is a recently developed approach for designing nonlinear control laws and estimation algorithms for any general nonlinear dynamic system. Although it has the potential to revolutionize control technology the industry acceptance of the technique has been slow. The primary reason appears to be due to the fact that it is computationally expensive to implement. This proposal advances the development of a software/hardware solution that will enable the rapid design and deployment of the SDRE control method in general purpose applications. The proposed systems will be configured using commercial off-the-shelf subsystems, and C/C++ software during Phase I research. Phase I research will demonstrate the prototype software/hardware solution. The commercialization of the technology will also be initiated during the Phase I research. Phase II work will develop a software/hardware solution that can be used in hardware-in-the-loop simulations, in the geometric form-factor suitable for eventual use as a flight-test article. The software/hardware solution will be specialize to an Air Force identified airframe and real-time operation will be demonstrated during Phase II work. This SDRE solution will be further developed into a flight-test article during Phase II research.
