DEVELOPMENT OF A PLAN AND ITS DEMONSTRATION IN PRODUCING MODERN DATABASE FOR RV TECHNOLOGIES IS PROPOSED BY USING CLOUD MICROPHYSICAL DATA SETS COLLECTED SINCE 1985 OVER THE NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT AND U.S. ARMY KWAJALEIN ATOLL. THE PLAN INCLUDES THE USE OF AIRBORNE RADAR, MODELING, AND SATELLITE ADDITIONS TO THE PARTICLE SIZE DATA TO CORRELATE PARTICLE SIZE AND LIQUID WATER CONTENT OVER AN EXTEN ...

TO MEET THE KINETIC ENERGY ANTI-SATELLITE (KE ASAT) REQUIREMENTS FOR TIMELY AND RELIABLE KILL ASSESSMENT, AEROMET PROPOSES TO RECOMMEND INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUES IN REAL-TIME KILL ASSESSMENT SPECTROSCOPY. BECAUSE IT CAN BE CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO ACCURATELY VERIFY SATELLITE ELIMINATION, A KILL ASSESSMENT SYSTEM MUST DISCERN BETWEEN VARIOUS HIT AND MISS PHENOMENA, INCLUDING THE USE OF POTENTIAL COUNTER ...

A CRYOCOOLER IS PROPOSED FOR SPACE-BORNE INFRARED ASTRONOMICAL TELESCOPES WHICH REQUIRE 50 MW OR LESS COOLING AT 1 TO 2 K. IT CONSISTS OF A LINEAR DRIVE THREE STAGE SPLIT-STIRLING CRYOCOOLER WHICH WILL PRODUCE REFRIGERATION AT 8 K TO COOL A NBSN AC SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNET AND A GGG MAGNETIC COLD STAGE. THE PHASE I EFFORT IS A DESIGN STUDY THAT WILL RESULT IN A PRELIMINARY DESIGN. NOVEL FEATURES INC ...

A MINIATURE TWO STAGE JOULE-THOMSON (J-T) CRYOSTAT IN A DEWAR WITH 0.5 IN. DIA X 0.5 IN. LENGTH IS PROPOSED WHICH CAN COOL TO LESS THAN 80 K IN AN AMBIENT OF 75 DEG C. HIGH EFFICIENCY IN THE VERY SMALL HEAT EXCHANGER IS MADE POSSIBLE BY NEW TECHNOLOGY. THE PROGRAM WILL INCLUDE A DEMONSTRATION OF RUN TIME IN EXCESS OF 10 MINUTES USING 15 IN(3) OF GAS.

THE PREPARATION OF ENGINEERING CHANGE PROPOSALS IS OFTEN A COMPLEX PROCESS BECAUSE OF THE EXTENSIVE REQUIREMENTS OF MIL-STD-480B. STATE-OF-THE-ART COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY CAN PROVIDE EXTENSIVE ASSISTANCE TO BOTH THE EXPERIENCED AND INEXPERIENCED ENGINEER. A COMPUTERIZED ECP PREPARATION SYSTEM WOULD PROVIDE SEVERAL OBVIOUS ADVANTAGES TO THE USER ENGINEER INCLUDING DATA STORAGE PREPARATION. THE USE OF A ...

DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF SOLID-STATE DIRECTION-INDICATING APPARATUS, WITH TILT-IMMUNITY, THAT PROVIDES AN AUDIBLE OR TACTILE INTERFACE WITH THE USER. REDUCED SIZE TO ALLOW ENCAPSULATION IN A TYPICAL WALKING CANE. A DEVICE WILL BE DESIGNED THAT WILL PROVIDE A VISUALLY IMPAIRED PERSON WITH AN INDICATION OF HORIZONTAL DIRECTION, WITH RESPECT TO THE EARTH'S MAGNETIC FIELD. THE DEVICE WILLALSO SIGNAL ...

AUGMENTECH, INC., HAS DEVELOPED A REMIND-AND-GUIDE DEVICE THAT VERBALLY REMINDS A PERSON ABOUT TASKS TO BE DONE, GUIDES THE PERSON TO THE LOCALE FOR THE TASK TO BE DONE, AND CAN CREATE AN ELECTRONIC RECORD OF THE MOVEMENT OF THE PERSON. IT CAN EITHER SELECTIVELY GUIDE A USER TO LOST OR FORGOTTEN OBJECTS AND LOCATIONS ON DEMAND, OR CUE THE USER TO THEIR LOCATION AND PURPOSE AT PRESPECIFIED TIMES. T ...
