At present, trains use various dissipative braking systems to slow and stop, and this significant braking energy is ultimately converted to heat and wasted. APEI, Inc. has proposed a hybrid tender which can capture and reuse a significant fraction of this braking energy (at least 50%). The hybrid tender draws power from the rails using a regenerative braking technique rather than by being electr ...

The Federal Railroad Administration’s (FRA) Automated Track Inspection Program uses optical systems such as cameras or laser-based systems to monitor rail performance throughout the country. These systems are hindered by adverse weather conditions that allow water, dirt and mud to coat their optical components resulting in unwanted maintenance costs. Thus FRA is seeking a low-cost, practical s ...

"SSSC is pleased to propose the development and delivery of a Hostile Fire Indication Sensor (HFIS) based on the Phase I design concept. The resulting system will limit the number of circuit card assemblies to two: one for the short wave infrared (SWIR)

We propose to provide essential protection from lacerations, punctures and abrasion for SOCOM’s free swimming diver force using a multi-layer laminate. The key technology will employs a novel stretch-pleat design with a proven puncture and cut resistant fabric that will allow a lower diving mass ensemble with a focus on mobility. The core puncture and cut layer is based on a lightweight punctur ...

THE NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION (NRC) HAS SPONSORED THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NUCLEAR PLANT DATA BANK (NPDB) SYSTEM AT TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT OF CALIFORNIA (TDC) FOR APPROXIMATELY THE LAST FIVE YEARS. THIS WORK IS ESSENTIALLYCOMPLETE AND IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE NUCLEAR PLANT A (NPA). TO MAKE THE NPDB A USEFUL AND PRODUCTIVE SYSTEM, REPRESENTATIVE DESCRIPTIONS OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS MUST BE ENTE ...
