Accurate Automation Corporation is proposing the development of a plasma limiter for the protection of sensing electronic equipment from high power EM radiation. The Limiter is essentially a self-breaking, fine-point, electrode placed within the receivingtransmission line. In Phase I, AAC will begin development and testing of the concept in an S-band resonant ring located at Texas Tech University. ...

Atmospheric Glow Technologies proposes to develop an innovative Mobile AtmosphericGlow Decontamination (MAGDEC) system based upon the patented One Atmosphere UniformGlow Discharge Plasma (OAUGDP) technology. This advanced system will be adeployablemilitary protection system that will decontaminate highly toxic chemicals andmicroorganisms on sensitive equipment, personnel protective equipment, and ...

BECKUS CORP INC PROPOSES TO RESEARCH AND DEVELOP PRODUCTS WHICH WILL REVOLUTIONIZE THE STATE OF THE ART IN CONCRETE SEALANTS. MUCH OF THE PROPOSED RESEARCH HAS ALREADY BEEN ACHIEVED IN THE COURSE OF DEVELOPING OTHER BECKUS PRODUCTS. BECKUS HAS DEVELOPED AND PATENTED THE ONLY KNOWN CURE FOR MASONRY EFFLORESCENCE. IN THE COURSE OF THIS AND MANY OTHER DISCOVERIES BECKUS HAS ACQUIRED THE SKILL AND TEC ...

THE TRADITIONAL MISSION/TASK DECOMPOSITION METHOD OF ANALYSIS HAS LEAD TO A TASK ORIENTED FOCUS INSTEAD OF A MISSION FOCUS. WHILE A TASK ANALYSIS IS NECESSARY TO DEFINE THE TASKS TO BE PERFORMED, A MISSION FOCUSED MOE DEFINES HOW WELL THOSE TASKS MUST BE PERFORMED TO EFFECTIVELY ACCOMPLISH THE MISSION OBJECTIVES. DESIGN OF TRAINING PROGRAMS TYPICALLY RELIES ON TASK ANALYSES TO SELECT TASKS FOR TRA ...

THE FREEZING/THAWING ENVIRONMENTS OF FROZEN SOILS CONTRIBUTE TO THE POOR DATA PERFORMANCE TO PRESENT FIELD TRANSDUCERS THAT MEASURE LOAD PRESSURES IN SOILS. IMPROVING SOIL PRESSURE DATA OUTPUT FROM DIURNAL, FROZEN SOILS, THAT INCLUDES ORTHOGONAL PRESSURE DATA, WILL PROVIDE BETTER ENGINEERING INFORMATION FOR COLD REGION STRUCTURES. NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN OPTICAL FIBER "SMART" SENSING TECHNIQUES PROVID ...

3-D BRAIDED PREFORMS SHOULD INCREASE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CERAMIC COMPOSITES IN ALL DIRECTIONS; ITS INTERLOCKING FIBER ARCHITECTURE SHOULD BE EFFECTIVE IN ARRESTING CRACKS, AND REMOVING CATASTROPIC FAILURE. THIS PROJECT ADDRESSES THE ISUES OF MERGING AN EFFECTIVE REINFORCEMENT SYSTEM WITH AN INEXPENSIVE CERAMIC MATRIX PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY TO DISCOVER A LOW COST MANUFACTURING ROUTE TO HIGH PER ...

This proposal encompasses a facile method for generating transgenic chickens. Traditionally, the approach to accomplish this has been to target the avian egg or embryo for gene insertion using either viral or 'standard' plasmids as vectors. In contrast,our proposed method introduces two new features, i.e. (1) novel transposon DNA vectors and (2) injection of DNA into the testes of immature males. ...
