Not Available Makel Engineering Inc. proposes to develop a compact, rugged, smart sensor module capable of measuring multiple gas species and physical parameters. The sensor module will provide measurement of hydrogen, oxygen, ambient pressure, and temperature. This mu

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

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 ...

THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO PRODUCE A SIGN-LANGUAGE TELEPHONE PROVIDING VISUAL COMMUNICATION TO THE HEARING IMPAIRED. CURRENTLY THEIR ONLY ACCESS TO TELEPHONE CONVERSATION IS WITH TYPED MESSAGES USING TELEPHONE FOR THE DEAF AND DISABLED. SIGN-LANGUAGE IS A MORE APPROPRIATE AND EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION MEDIUM THAN IS WRITTEN ENGLISH. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF THE EXISTING TELEPHONE NETWORK PRECLUDE ...

THE PROPOSAL CONCERNS DEVELOPMENT OF AN ELECTROLYTIC PROCESSFOR THE ON-LINE REGENERATION OF ACID CUPRIC CHLORIDE ETCHING BATHS. CHEMICAL REGENERATION ON A BATCH BASIS IS GENERALLY PRACTICED TODAY, UTILIZING CHLORINE AND/OR HYDROGEN PEROXIDE TO RE-OXIDIZE THE CU(+), FORMED BY THE ETCHING PROCESS, BACK TO CU(2+). THESE PROCESSES SUFFER THE DISADVANTAGE OF RESULTING IN A NET INCREASE IN SOLUTION INVE ...

PRECISION COMBUSTION, INC., PROPOSES TO EXPLORE CATALYTIC COATINGS ON THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER WALLS OF SMALL UTILITY ENGINES IN A CONTINUING MODIFICATION OF SMALL GASOLINE ENGINES SO THAT ULTIMATELY THEY WILL BE ABLE TO OPERATE AT TRULY LEAN FUEL/AIR RATIOS FAVORING LOW HC, CO, AND NOX EMISSIONS. THE CURRENT SIMPLICITY OF THESE ENGINES OFFERS SOME GOOD OPPORTUNITIES FOR THIS APPROACH TO SUCCEED. A ...
