THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO DEVELOP A HIGH-ACCURACY, LOW RANGE PRESSURE TRANSDUCER WHICH IS SUITABLE FOR MEASUREMENT IN ENVIRONMENTS WHERE HIGH VIBRATION, HIGH TEMPEATURE AND VARYING LINE PRESSURE CREATE PROBLEMS FOR PRESENTLY AVAILABLE TRANSDUCERS. THE PRIMARY SENSOR IS AN ELASTIC METAL MEMBRANCE WHICH FORMS ONE PLATE OF A CAPCITOR. AN ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT CONVERTS THE MEMBANE DEFLECTIONS ...

THE PROGRESSIVE SCIENCE INSTRUCTION PACKAGE WILL BE A SOFTWARE AND COURSEWARE PACKAGE WHICH WILL TEACH SCIENCE IN GRADES 6-9 TO STUDENTS WHOSE NATIVE LANGUAGE IS NOT ENGLISH. STUDENTS USING THE PACKAGE WILL LEARN SCIENCE MATERIAL IN MICROCOMPUTER-BASED TUTORIAL DIALOGS THAT INCORPORATE INTERACTIVE VIDEO, GRAPHICS, AND MULTIPLE LEVELSOF TEXTUAL RESPONSES AND REMEDIATIONS. THE STUDENTS WILL WORK PAP ...

YIELECTRIC COATINGS ON VEHICLES CAN ALTER THEIR RADAR IMAGE SIGNIFICANTLY. THIS PROPOSAL IS DIRECTED TO DETERMINING NUMERICALLY THE REFLECTIVITY FOR AN OBJECT COVERED BY A DIELECTRIC LAYER. A CALCULATION WILL BE DONE USING BASIC PHYSICAL PRINCIPLES TO DEFINE THE THEORETICAL BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM FOR THE DIELECTRIC LAYER. THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM WILL BE OBTAINED NUMERICALLY USING MATRIX INVER ...

THE COMPLETE DESIGN IS PRESENTED WITHIN THIS PROPOSAL FOR A SYSTEM WHICH WILL PROVIDE A PRECISE, ONE-STEP CONVERSION DIRECTLY FROM A PULSE TRAIN INPUT TO A DIGITIZED PULSE RATE OUTPUT. IT IS A DISTRIBUTED PROCESSOR SYSTEM EMPLOYING A MASTER CONTROL PROCESSOR AND FROM 2 TO 30 IDENTICAL PULSE MODULES. THE PULSE MODULE IS A STANDALONE UNIT WHICH PERFORMS THE PULSE PERIOD MEASUREMENT. THE MICROPROCESS ...
