Not Available High power motors and generators can be made very compact when run under cryogenic conditions. For further enhancements in power densities it is highly desirable to use High Temperature Superconductors with a greatly enhanced critical current densigy Jc at 3T at 77K, which would allow the use of liquid nitrogen as a coolant. Under these operating conditions the superconductor YBa2Cu ...

Not Available Long-range, non-cooperative identification techniques such as one-dimensional shape echoes require sources that are compact, eyesafe and produce temporally short pulses to provide fast accurate target identification in the field. To meet these requirements, CTI proposes a solid state Raman laser (SSRL) with an innovative architecture that produces 1.5 um output in short 1 ns length ...

¿Clicking in the Classroom with Bill the Magic Kat¿ ¿ integrates an interactive multimedia technology with innovative instructional techniques to create learning experiences for youth with varying capabilities and diverse cultural experiences. Youth, teachers, and Netcitizens come together with iC to explore students' emotional and intellectual needs. Our mentoring program is created for yout ...

This project will demonstrate the technical merit and feasibility of Transition AbleAideTM, a needs-based system for assisting special educators and related service providers in matching students with disabilities with appropriate disability accommodations (including assistive technology, home automation devices, and other simple accommodations) to aid the transition from school to adult life, but ...

The adverse acoustical environments typically found in classrooms have led to the development and proliferation of a new generation of small sound systems usually referred to as "sound field systems" (SFS). Recent studies support the usefulness of SFS to enhance the intelligibility of teachers' voices for the benefit of students with mild unaided hearing losses or attention deficits, and normally ...

Not Available A number of shortcomings in current active control systems preclude their widespread use: 1) need for higher actuator authority, 2) need for robust compact actuators with ease of implementation, and 3) need for improved power handling and driving electronics. The innovation proposed is a new approach to active material and electronic systems for the control of vibrations in aeroelas ...
