HeartWing
-
Accurate measurement of energy expenditure is a challenging problem that is important to epidemiologists, exercise scientists, clinicians, and behavioral researchers. All current indirect and direct methods to assess physical activity and energy expenditure have shortcomings vis-à-vis application to free-living individuals.

Fixed-Base Flight Simulator
FlightSim
-
While testing in a full motion simulator and/or in-flight is often necessary for certification of new cockpit technologies, this type of testing is cost-prohibitive during the design process. Nonetheless, pilot feedback during the design process is crucial to the development of a successful end product. The Barron Associates fixed-base flight simulator is a low-cost alternative to conduct initial pilot evaluations of new crew systems technologies.

AURA-Sim
-
Aura-SimTM allows designers to directly model uncertainties associated with the design, implementation, and operation of such systems. It can then propagate these uncertainties through complex system hierarchies and around feedback loops, revealing the variability that will be observed in system outputs and performance metrics.

Adaptive Diagnostics and Prognostics Toolbox
ADAPT
-
The ADAPT toolbox provides advanced system health monitoring algorithms in the form of Simulink block components. These components may be used to develop health monitoring applications with the Simulink modeling tool. The applications can be tested and refined within the high-fidelity Simulink modeling environment. After verification, the Real-Time Workshop code generation tool may be used to generate deployable C language code for integration in online real-time health monitoring systems. The ADAPT algorithms provide out-of-the-box diagnostic capabilities that are applicable to a wide range of health monitoring problems.

Adaptive Inverse for Actuator Compensation Toolbox
AIFAC
-
Actuator nonlinearities such as dead-zone, backlash, and hysteresis are ubiquitous in mechanical connections, hydraulic servo-valves, electric servomotors, piezoelectric, pneumatic and magnetic actuators, and even appear in biomedical systems. The Adaptive Inverse For Actuator Compensation (AIFAC) Toolbox for Simulnk allows control system engineers to design high-performance adaptive controllers to compensate for uncertain or undesirable actuator dynamics that would otherwise adversely affect closed-loop control system performance.

Polynomial Neural Network Modeling
GNOSIS
-
Many scientific, engineering, marketing, and economic phenomena are complex and difficult to model. Often, a large number of conditions that influence the input variables or an incomplete understanding of the underlying principles governing the system exacerbate the problem. The Barron Associates Generalized Networks for the Optimal Synthesis of Information Systems (GNOSIS) software suite provides a versatile and powerful method for modeling a variety of complex phenomena.

Automated Pit Identification and Measurement Software
APIMS
-
Surface pitting processes are ubiquitous in material science and engineering applications. Rigorous analysis of surface pitting features is time-consuming and error-prone whenever manual measurements are employed. Barron Associates’ APIMS software eliminates the need for tedious manual pit measurements. APIMS analyzes digital surface profilometry data and automatically identifies the location and size (width and depth) of surface pits. APIMS provides built-in noise reduction features to enhance performance and reduce both measurement noise and surface tilt.
