MOUTHSTICKS OR ORTHODONTIC ORTHOSES ARE WIDELY USED BY PEOPLE WITH SPINAL CHORD INJURIES OR SIMILAR DISABILITIES TO INCREASE CONTROL OVER THEIR ENVIRONMENT. PEOPLE WITH THE ADDITIONAL LIMITATION OF LITTLE OR NO ANTERIOR/POSTERIOR HEAD MOTION MAY BENEFIT FROM AN EXTENDIBLE MOUTHSTICK. HOWEVER, COMMERCIAL EXTENDIBLE MOUTHSTICKS SUFFER IN THAT THEIR ACTION IS OFTEN SLOW, EXTENDIBILITY IS LIMITED, OR ...

REMOVAL OF TOXIC METALS FROM WASTEWATER STREAMS HAS BECOME A PROBLEM OF INCREASING NATIONAL IMPORTANCE, AS A RESULT OF INCREASING CONCERN FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT, AND INCREASINGLY STRINGENT WASTE DISPOSAL REGULATIONS. CHROMATOCHEM, INC., HAS DEVELOPED AN ECONOMICAL AND EFFECTIVE NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR THE REMOVAL OF LOW LEVELS OF TOXIC METAL IONS FROM WASTEWATER STREAMS, USING SOLID PHASE EXTRACTION (SPE) ...

A RESEARCH AND EVALUATION PROJECT TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY AND FORM OF A FULLY AUTOMATED NATIONWIDE DIRECT DIAL TELEPHONE NUMBER DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE SERVICE FOR THE DEAF CONTAINING TELEPHONE NUMBERS OF ALL INDIVIDUALS AND BUSINESSES OWNING TDD/TTYS, WHICH WILL BE ACCESSIBLE BY TDDS (TELECOMMUNICATIONS DEVICES FOR THE DEAF), TTYS, AND PERSONAL COMPUTERS. THE PROJECT WILL EVALUATE THE TECHNICAL ...

THIS PROJECT DEALS WITH THE CREATION OF "EARTHLAB", A MODEL-BASED VISUALLY RICH INTERACTIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR EARTH SCIENCE EDUCATION. IT IS BUILT ON A SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE DESIGNED TO SUPPORT INTERNETWORKING THAT WOULD FACILITATE AN INTEGRATED CURRICULUM, PROBLEM SOLVING, AND CROSS-DISCIPLINARY APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS, EARTHLAB WOULD ENCOURAGE A JOINT EFFORT BY BOTH STUDENTS AND ...

THE U.S. POSSESSES HUGE COAL RESERVES, BUT SULFUR DIOXIDE (SO2) RELEASED UPON COMBUSTION IS A MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR TO ACID RAIN. SIGNIFICANT ADVANCES HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MICROBIAL PROCESSES FOR PRECOMBUSTION REMOVALOF INORGANIC SULFUR FROM COAL. THIOBACILLUS AND SULFOLOBUS SP. HAVE BEEN MOST FREQUENTLY EMPLOYED. THEY ARE OPTIMALLY ADAPTED TO FUNCTION AT A PH BELOW 3 AND OFTEN AT ELEV ...

THOUGH MUCH HAS BEEN DONE TO IMPROVE THE DATA GATHERING AND MASTER EVENT PROCESSING MODULES FOR THE COLLIDER INSTALLATION EXPERIMENTS WITHIN DOE, VERY LITTLE HAS BEEN DONE TO ADDRESS THE CRITICAL COMMUNICATIONS REQUIREMENTS NEEDED TO IMPROVE INTERCONNECTION AND INTEROPERABILITY WITHIN THE FASTBUS COMMUNITY. PHASE I WILL INVESTIGATE DEVELOPMENT OF A MULTIPLE INTERFACE MEDIA INTERCONNECT CONTROLLER ...

RESEARCH IS PROPOSED TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF MAKING A NOVEL NON-METALLIC, DIMENSIONALLY STABLE AND ELECTRICALLY EFFICIENT ANODE FOR USE IN A MEMBRANE ELECTROCHEMICAL PROCE PROCESS FOR TH ELECTRO-OCIDATION OF CHROMIUM III, IN PROCESSLIQUORS, TO USEABLE CHROMIUM VI COMPOUNDS. AN EFFICIENT ECONOMICAL ANODE WOULD MAKE POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIAL USE OF AN ELECTROCHEMICAL PROCESS THAT C ...
