It will provide a Unit of Action UA asset that can be used in Tactical Operations in day or night to detect and locate surface obstacles and recently buried minefields. ASTAMIDS is currently being tested in the MQ 8B Fire Scout unmanned aerial vehicle. Detection methods Coherent change detection The ASTAMIDS detects improvised explosives and minefields using two techniques. The first technique used to find explosives is a process known as coherent change detection. Change detection compares two images for inconsistencies. To detect whether or not a change has occurred, two images are taken of the same scene, but at different times. These images are then geometrically registered so that the same target pixels in each image align. After the images are registered, they are checked pixel by pixel. Where a change has not occurred between the two images, the pixels remain the same. When the pixels are different, a change has occurred. ref name sandia cite web url http www.sandia.gov radar sarapps.html title Synthetic Aperture Radar Applications accessdate 2008 05 13 last Mileshosky first Katelyn year 2005 publisher Sandia National Laboratories ref This technique is useful for detecting change, but it does not measure direction or the magnitude of change. One of the major issues in the change detection software is defining what a significant change is. Trees blowing in the wind will sometimes produce a change between the pixels of the two images.

Unreferenced date May 2007 Business acquisition is the process of acquiring a company to build on strengths or weaknesses of the acquiring company. A merger is similar to an acquisition but refers more strictly to combining all of the interests of both companies in to a stronger single company. The end result is to grow the business in a quicker and more profitable manner than normal organic growth would allow. Process The process begins with defining the type of business that would make a good acquisition. Generally businesses within the same segment or a highly complementary market segment are targeted. Once defined the target business is approached and if interest is shown due diligence is performed to ascertain the financial condition of the business. When the financial terms are agreed upon, and the contract is signed the merger portion of the acquisition begins. Overlapping processes, personnel and products are evaluated and the better performing pieces are retained, while the Single business acquisitions and split and sell A single acquisition refers to one company buying the assets and operations of another company and absorbing what is needed while simply discarding duplicated or unnecessary pieces of the acquired business. Split and sell acquisitions involve buying an entire business in order to gain one or two pieces of the business. The acquiring business may wish to retain the customer list and a product line, while moving manufacturing and other production related duties to an existing line. In this case the excess is often sold off to recapture some of the acquisition cost.. Affiliate acquisitions Businesses that use affiliates to sell and market their products may find themselves in the position of losing control of the marketing portion.

While grammatical and syntactic learning can be seen as a part of language acquisition , speech acquisition focuses on the development of speech perception and speech production over the first years of lifetime. Development of speech perception Sensory learning concerning acoustic speech signals already starts during pregnancy. The newborn is already capable of discerning many phonetic contrasts. This capability may be innate. Speech perception becomes language specific for vowels at around 6 months, for sound combinations at around 9 months and for language specific consonants at around 11 months. ref Kuhl PK 2004 Early language acquisition cracking the speech code.
