Not Available Naturally occuring micrometeroids and man-made orbital debris pose severe impact hazards for spacecraft. A metallic shield has previously been used to protect spacecraft structures from catastrophic damage. It is possible to improve upon the shield conce

Not Available The proposed program will demonstrate the ability to rapidly design and manufacture extremely high stiffness-to-weight precision structures for aerospace applications. Nu-Cast, Inc. currently has a patent pending on a process that uses rapid prototyping m

Not Available This research will result in an expert system that can be used by KSC engineers to facilitate insight responsibilities associated with current and future NASA-KSC projects. System performance data will be analyzed and interpreted using appropriate statist

Not Available We propose to develop intelligent software that assists a crew in planning activities while living in habitats like BIOPlex, Mars Transhab, and International Space Station. Progress has been made in developing autonomous planning and scheduling technology

TO MEET THE NEEDS OF VOCATIONAL AND EMPLOYMENT-RELATED TRAINING PROGRAMS, THE FIELD REQUIRES ASSESSMENT MEASURES THAT GO BEYOND CONVENTIONAL PAPER AND PENCIL, AND MULTIPLE CHOICE TESTS. INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES SUCH AS VIDEOS, COMPUTERS, AND INTERACTIVE VIDEODISCS CAN SERVE THAT NEED BY PRESENTING INFORMATION IN VISUAL AND AUDITORY FORM, ALLOWING TEST-TAKERS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS AND MAKE DECISIONS, AN ...

THE SPECIAL EDUCATION SYSTEM NEEDS A RESOURCE THAT ENHANCES ITS SCHOOL-TO-WORK TRANSITION GUIDANCE SERVICES WITHOUT REQUIRING ADDITIONAL WORK FROM ALREADY BURDENED TEACHERS. INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA TECHNOLOGY PROVIDES THE OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE TRANSITION SERVICES THROUGH INNOVATIVE PROGRAMMING. THIS PROJECT INVOLVES THE DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF A MULTIMEDIA PROGRAM CALLED JUMP INTO MY SHOES T ...

IMPROVED TECHNOLOGY IS NEEDED TO PROVIDE RAPID, INEXPENSIVE, ON-SITE TREATMENT AND CLEANUP OF SOILS CONTAMINATED BY PETROLEUM HYDROCARBONS AND SOLVENTS. TREATED SOILS SHOULD BE SUITABLE FOR REPLACEMENT IN THEIR OWN EXCAVATION, AND THE TREATMENT PROCESS SHOULD NOT GENERATE ANY SECONDARY WASTES. IN ADDITION, TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY SHOULD BE SIMPLE, ROBUST, EFFIENENT, RELIABLE, AND CAPABLE OF TREATING ...

LABORATORY TESTS OF A PORTION OF THE EC&C TECHNOLOGIES COMBINED NOX/SOX/PARTICULATE REMOVAL SYSTEM ARE PROPOSED. THE LABORATORY TESTS ARE FOR OPTIMIZATION OF DESIGN AND OPERATING PARAMETERS. THE PROPOSED INTEGRATED SEQUENTIAL TREATMENT SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO OBTAIN ULTRA HIGH REMOVAL EFFICIENCIES INCLUDING CONTROL OF NOX/SOX/PARTICULATE MATTER FROM COAL FIRED BOILER FLUE GAS WITH IMPROVED ECONOMICS ...
