This invention is a system for managing a project that includes multiple tasks and workers. Periodic monthly, task plan, schedule, and budget reports are generated and made available for display or further analysis. When the system receives a description of a skill set needed for a project, the skill set module is queried. The name and relevant skill(s) possessed by each worker is displayed in a visually perceptible format.

Interactive Sonic Boom Display

A Real-Time Sonic Boom Display for aircraft enables pilots to control boom placement. It can be integrated into a cockpit or flight control room to help pilots place loud booms in specific locations away from populated areas, or prevent them from occurring. It can be used on current-generation supersonic aircraft, as well as future-generation low-boom aircraft.

Automatic Extraction of Planetary Image Features

This method extracts lunar data and/or planetary features based on the combination of several image-processing techniques. With the large number of new lunar data that will be collected in the next few years, it is important to implement an automated method to extract these features. Other uses include military synthetic aperture radar images, and medical imaging such as mammograms and MRIs.
