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 ...

In multi-place jet aircraft the ejection problems are compounded beyond the head, neck and spinal injuries, windblast exposure and flail injuries, but now also include collision proababilities with other ejectees. The problem actually becomes one of collision avoidance by timing or sequencing the ejection to optimize a clean contact free egress, and controlling the rocket thrust magnitude and/or d ...

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 multi-octave (30-500 MHz) passive monopole antenna design is proprosed. The design concept is based upon the combination of 2 new techniques. A proven sectorialized radiating element, combined with the self complementary antenna principle as defined by Y. Mushiake. Ultra broadband radiation pattern performance and impedance characteristics are anticipated. The performance goals are to achieve 0 ...

The development of a compact, accurate and reliable laser beam discrimination device is proposed. The concept is based on a novel and improved Electron-Trapping (ET) material developed at the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), capable of discriminating between NIR, Far-IR, and UV laser sources used for the tracking and ranging of moving objects in the field. This ET phosphor emits visible radiat ...

Combining the stability of quartz and the process micromachining, it may be possible to develop cost effective inertial navigation sensors (INS). Linear position can be determined from passive or active vibrating beam type accelerometers while rotation can be determined from resonating tuning fork type gyros. Technical problems relating to noise sources, instabilities and feasibility are to be inv ...

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 ...

Underwater target detection and identification is difficult data analysis problem. The inherent parallelism of optical signal processing lends itself well to the problem of sonar signal processing. A high speed multichannel optical correlator is proposed. This system employs preprocessing signal conditioning and an incoherent optical time-integration scheme which provides for long integration time ...
