DEVELOPMENT OF A PLAN AND ITS DEMONSTRATION IN PRODUCING MODERN DATABASE FOR RV TECHNOLOGIES IS PROPOSED BY USING CLOUD MICROPHYSICAL DATA SETS COLLECTED SINCE 1985 OVER THE NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT AND U.S. ARMY KWAJALEIN ATOLL. THE PLAN INCLUDES THE USE OF AIRBORNE RADAR, MODELING, AND SATELLITE ADDITIONS TO THE PARTICLE SIZE DATA TO CORRELATE PARTICLE SIZE AND LIQUID WATER CONTENT OVER AN EXTEN ...

DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF SOLID-STATE DIRECTION-INDICATING APPARATUS, WITH TILT-IMMUNITY, THAT PROVIDES AN AUDIBLE OR TACTILE INTERFACE WITH THE USER. REDUCED SIZE TO ALLOW ENCAPSULATION IN A TYPICAL WALKING CANE. A DEVICE WILL BE DESIGNED THAT WILL PROVIDE A VISUALLY IMPAIRED PERSON WITH AN INDICATION OF HORIZONTAL DIRECTION, WITH RESPECT TO THE EARTH'S MAGNETIC FIELD. THE DEVICE WILLALSO SIGNAL ...

VOLATILE HALOGENATED ALIPHATIC COMPOUNDS (VHALS) ARE PREDOMINANT CONTAMINANTS AT HAZARDOUS WASTE SITES. TRICHLOREOTHYLENE (TCE) IS THE MOST COMMONLY OCCURING COMPOUND IN THIS CLASS. THESE COMPOUNDS ARE PERSISTENT AND THEREFORE REQUIRE SOME FORM OF REMEDIATION OF REMOVAL. PRESENT TECHNOLOGY UTILIZES CARBON ADSORPTION, WHICH MEANS TRANSFERRING THE HAZARDOUS COMPOUNDS TO ANOTHER MEDIUM WHICHMUST BE D ...

THIS PROPOSAL REQUESTS DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION SUPPORT FOR EDMARK, A SMALL BUSINESS IN BELLEVUE, WASHINGTON, TO DEVELOPAND FIELD-TEST A HARDWARE/SOFTWARE PACKAGE TO ADDRESS THE POSSIBLE DISABILITIES BY TEACHERS AND PARAPROFESSIONALS. PUBLIC LAW 99-457 REQUIRES THE IDENTIFICATION AND PROVISION OF SERVICES TO YOUNG CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES. QUALIFIED PERSONAL, REMOTE LOCATION, OR OTHER REASONS. A ...

A NEW CONCEPT OF A SLURRY ELECTROLYTE CELL FOR PRIMARY ALUMINUM EMPLOYING A NON-CONSUMABLE ANODE IS PRESENTED. THE FINE-PARTICLE ALUMINA SLURRY CONCEPT ALLOWS CELL OPERATION AT A TEMPERATURE OF 700 DEGREES CENTIGRADE AS COMPARED TO 950 DEGREES-980 DEGREES CENTIGRADE IN CONVENTIONAL HALL-HERAULT CELLS. THE LOWER OPERATING TEMPERATURE IS EXPECTED TO MAKE PRACTICAL THE STATE-OF-THE-ART CERMET ANODES ...

THE ABRASIVE-WATERJET (AWJ) TECHNOLOGY INTRODUCED INTO THE MARKETPLACE IN 1983 WAS A BREAKTHROUGH IN MACHINING PROCESSES, ESPECIALLY FOR HARD-TO-MACHINE BRITTLE MATERIALS AND EXOTIC ALLOYS AND COMPOSITES. THIS PROPOSAL ADDRESSES ANEW CONCEPT OF FORMING AWJS THAT MAY PROVE TO BE ANOTHER BREAKTHROUGH IN MACHINING TECHNOLOGY. PREMIXED SLURRIES WILL BE DIRECTLY PUMPED UP TO 55,000 PSI TO FORM JETS WIT ...

RESEARCH IS PROPOSED ON ROBUST METHODS FOR ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE (ANOVA) AND ON STATISTICALLY DESIGNED EXPERIMENTS (SDE), WITH A VIEW TOWARD IMPLEMENTATION IN MODERN INTERACTIVE GRAPHICS WORKSTATION ENVIRONMENTS. THE FOLLOWING ROBUSTNESS CONCEPTS AND TOOLS WILL BE USED: INFLUENCE FUNCTIONS, HIGH BREAKDOWN POINT ESTIMATION, MIN-MAX BIAS ROBUST ESTIMATION, AND MEAN-SQUARED ERROR EFFICIENCY ROBUSTNESS ...

THE PROGRESSIVE SCIENCE INSTRUCTION PACKAGE WILL BE A SOFTWARE AND COURSEWARE PACKAGE WHICH WILL TEACH SCIENCE IN GRADES 6-9 TO STUDENTS WHOSE NATIVE LANGUAGE IS NOT ENGLISH. STUDENTS USING THE PACKAGE WILL LEARN SCIENCE MATERIAL IN MICROCOMPUTER-BASED TUTORIAL DIALOGS THAT INCORPORATE INTERACTIVE VIDEO, GRAPHICS, AND MULTIPLE LEVELSOF TEXTUAL RESPONSES AND REMEDIATIONS. THE STUDENTS WILL WORK PAP ...

THE COMPLETE DESIGN IS PRESENTED WITHIN THIS PROPOSAL FOR A SYSTEM WHICH WILL PROVIDE A PRECISE, ONE-STEP CONVERSION DIRECTLY FROM A PULSE TRAIN INPUT TO A DIGITIZED PULSE RATE OUTPUT. IT IS A DISTRIBUTED PROCESSOR SYSTEM EMPLOYING A MASTER CONTROL PROCESSOR AND FROM 2 TO 30 IDENTICAL PULSE MODULES. THE PULSE MODULE IS A STANDALONE UNIT WHICH PERFORMS THE PULSE PERIOD MEASUREMENT. THE MICROPROCESS ...
