ADVANCED OPTICAL SYSTEMS PROPOSES TO MODIFY AN EXISTING FIBER-OPTIC NETWORK TO PROVIDE A MEANS OF SUPPORTING A GROUP OF EXISTING INVENTORY TELEPHONE INSTRUMENTS WITH A MAN-PORTABLE SWITCHED VOICE TELEPHONE NETWORK. THE SYSTEM IS ORIENTED ON PROVIDING A RAPID DEPLOYMMENT CAPABILITY TO SUPPORT HIGHLY MOBILE TACTICAL FORCES IN LIEU OF SHELTER-MOUNTED SWITCHING NODE FACILITIES. ADDITIONALLY, THE SYSTE ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY EFFORT IS TO PRODUCE SPECIFICATIONS, A DETAILED DESIGN, AND PERFORMNCE CALCULATIONS FOR THREE SENSORS WHICH ARE INTEGRATED TO FORM A MINE DETECTION SYSTEM. THE SENSORS INCLUDE A FREQUENCY STEPPED GROUND PENETRATION RADAR, A DUAL BAND INFRARED SCANNER, AND A VIDEO SCANNER. THE INTEGRATION OF THE SENSOR OUTPUT INFORMATION AND ULTIMATE DECISION FOR MINE/NON-MINE OBJECT IS P ...

THIS RESEARCH EFFORT WILL PRODUCE COMPUTER SOFTWARE WHICH CAN BE USED WITH AN MS-DOS COMPUTER TO 1) COMPUTE THE JAMMING PARAMETERS NECESSARY FOR JAMMING A CORRELATED RANGE/DOPPLER RADAR SYSTEM, 2) APPLY THOSE PARAMETERS IN A RADAR/ECM SIMULATION TO VERIFY THAT THE JAMMING PARAMETERS ARE EFFECTIVE, AND 3) DISPLAY RESULTS OF THE SIMULATED JAMMING PERFORMANCE BOTH GRAPHICALLY AND BYTABULAR PRINTOUT. ...

CONTAINMENT OF THE STICK PROPELLANT WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED USING HEAT SHRINKABLE POLYOLIFIN FILM. THIS WILL ALLOW REPLACING THE NITROCELLULOSE CARTRIDGE CASE BUT CONTINUING TO USE THE CASE COMPONENT PARTS, SUCH AS THE BASE END CAP. STICK PROPELLANT WILL BE BUNDLED AND ASSEMBLED WITH THE COMPONENT PARTS USING AN ASSEMBLY FIXTURE, OR HOLDER. THE POLYOLIFIN FILM WILL BE SLIPPED OVER THE PARTS AND PASSE ...

ALTHOUGH BICYCLES HAVE LONG BEEN USED IN THE REHABILITATION OF NEUROMUSCULAR AND MUCULOSKELETAL CONDITIONS FOR BOTH LOW-ER AND UPPER EXTREMITIES, LITTLE RESEARCH HAS BEEN DONE TO INVESTIGATE THE EFFECTS OF THE TRADITIONAL CIRCULAR CRANKINGMOTION ON PATIENT REHABILITATION. RETURNING A PATIENCT TO OPTIMUM FUNCTION REQUIRES A VARIETY OF MEASURES TO INCREASE STRENGTH, RANGE OF MOTION, ENDURANCE (BOTH ...

IMPULSIVE SOURCES (LANDSLIDES, EXPLOSIONS, AND SO FORTH) ARE CAPABLE PRODUCING EXTREMELY LARGE WAVES IN SUFFICIENTLY DEEP WATER. IF CONTAINED IN A STEEP-WALLED FORD-LIKE CHANNEL, SUCH WAVES CAN BE PROPAGATED WITH LITTLE LOSS OF ENERGY OVER SIGNIFICANT DISTANCES. THE MAJOR ENERGY DISSIPATOR IN THIS CASE MIGHT BE THE OCCURRENCE OF BREAKING IN THE NARROW SHALLOW ZONES ALONG EACH BANK; THIS LOSS MECHA ...
