Application of Intelligent Systems to Complex Processes Engineering Research and Consulting, Inc.Tullahoma, TN INNOVATION Development of neural network-based expert systems for fault diagnostics and for process planning, and the use of expert systems in designing, developing, publishing, and maintaining electronic documents Small Business Innovation Research • ACCOMPLISHMENTS • Combined expert systems concepts with electronic publishing for use on the World Wide Web • Formed a spin-off company in electronic publishing rated as one of the "Top 100 Web Developers": in the country by a third party survey conducted by Lotus • Applied neural networks and genetic algorithms to operate intelligent controls for electric power utility plants to reduce NOX emissions • COMMERCIALIZATION • On the basis of their SBIR work, ERC generated $4.9M of post-Phase II revenue from commercial and government sources. In addition, this effort resulted in ten new jobs • ERC has given the NASA SBIR Program major credit for ERC's growth, starting in 1988 with its first SBIR contract for $50K and two employees to today's employment of over a hundred employees and a yearly revenue of $14M • GOVERNMENT/SCIENCE APPLICATIONS • Development of a neural network-based automated data screening system for the Space Shuttle main engine • Development of an integrated knowledge system for wind tunnel testing at NASA Ames • Development of a neural network-based expert system for fault diagnosis for the Air Force Aeropropulsion Systems Test Facility Ames Research Center SS # 2-005 - Contacts: ERC - Dr. Susan Wu (931) 455-9915 NASA - Alan Levin (650) 604-5878 1988 Phase 2, Contract No. NAS2-13203 1992 Phase 2, Contract No. NAS2-14062
