GAS-ASSISTED INJECTION MOLDING PROCESS HAS BEEN CLAIMED BY ITS PROPONENTS AS THE MOST IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT FOR THE INJECTION MOLDING PROCESS SINCE THE INVENTION OF RECIPROCATING-SCREW INJECTION MOLDING MACHINE. THIS PROCESSCONSISTS OF A PARTIAL INJECTION OF POLYMER MELT TO THE MOLD CAVITY FOLLOWED BY AN INJECTION OF COMPRESSED GAS WHICH PENETRATES AND, IN PRINCIPLE, HOLLOWS OUT A NETWORK OF PRE-D ...

ENVERTHING FROM COMPUTERS AND CONSUMER ELECTRONICS TO MILITARY EQUIPMENT IS DRIVEN BY MICROCHIPS, THE FIRST LINK IN THE CHAIN OF TECHNOLOGY FOR THE MICROELECTRONIC INDUSTRY. IN ORDER TO EXTEND THE FLEXIBILITY AND CAPACITY OF DEVICE AND SYSTEM DESIGN, MICROELECTRONIC PACKAGING IS BECOMING AS IMPORTANT AS SILICON FABRICATION. AMONG EXISTING ENCAPSULATION METHODS, PLASTIC PACKAGING CONTINUES TO PLAY ...

VARIOUS ACTIVITIES (EDUCATION, GOVERNMENT, RESEARCH) GENERATE LARGE AMOUNTS OF RAW DATA. HOWEVER, DATA IS COLLECTED IN A DISJOINTED AND ISOLATED FASHION (I.E., ACTS, LITERATURE) CREATING BARRIERS IN DATA ACCESS AND DISSEMINATION. THERE IS A CONSENSUS AMONG FAMILIES AND PROFESSIONALS, THAT NEEDS OF INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES AND SERVICES PROVIDED TO THESE INDIVIDUALS COULD BE GREATLY IMPROVED IF ...

AMHERST SYSTEMS PROPOSES TO INTERFACE SIMNET TO THE INTEGRATED TEST BED (ITB) FACILITY COCKPIT SIMULATOR AT THE AVIONICS LABORATORY AT WRIGHT LABORATORIES, WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB. THE AVIONICS LABORATORY IS THE AIR FORCE RESEARCH LABORATORY FOR ADVANCED AVIONICS CONCEPTS, AND IT STRIVES FOR THE CAPABILITY TO TEST SYSTEMS FROM SOFTWARE CONCEPT THROUGH PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT. THE ITB COCKPIT IS AN ENGIN ...

The development of paints and coatings is characterized by trial and error formulation of various pigment and binder combinations. A need exist for an analytical tool which permits the controlled variation of fundamental coating properties and prediction of the resulting reflectance. Amherst Systems proposes to provide such a tool based upon the government-owned Coatings Reflectance Engineering an ...

Ice accretions on helicopter rotor blades occur as a result of the impact of supercooled water particles on the surface. Supercooled water particles are in an unstable state. Means are sought to "trip" these particles into ice crystals or amorphous snow so that the particles will not adhere to the surface. Density waves (sound) and electromagnetic waves (including lasers) are to be investigated fo ...

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) ...
