FEASIBILITY STUDY TO DETERMINE THE POTENTIAL OF UTILIZATION OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS, CELLULAR PHONE AND ELECTRONIC TRANSFER TECHNOLOGIES TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE AND IN SOME CASES ELIMINATE THE SHRINKAGE OF COLLECTED TRANSIT REVENUE THROUGH EMPLOYEE MIS-HANDLING, EMPLOYEE FRAUD, EMPLOYEE THEFT. THIS STUDY WILL FOCUS ON THE FEASIBILITY OF IMPLEMENTING T THE ELECTRONIC/MICRO PROCESSOR BASED COLLECTION ...

THE PROPOSED PROGRAM IS DIRECTED TOWARDS EVALUATING THE TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY OF APPLYING SOLID POLYMER ELECTROLYTES (SPE) IN NOVEL ALL SOLID-STATE PHOTOELECTROCHEMICAL STORAGE CELLS. THE UNIQUENESS OF THIS APPROACH LIES IN THE USE OF PHOTOCATHODES WHICH WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO NOT ONLY GENERATE REDUCED REDOX SPECIES, AT THEIR INTERFACE WITH THE SOLID ELECTROLYTE, BUT ALSO WILL STORE SUCH SPECI ...

IMI-TECH CORPORATION PROPOSES TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF MEETING THE NAVY'S NEED FOR A POURED-IN-PLACE, LIGHTWEIGHT FLOTATION FOAM THAT WILL NOT SUSTAIN COMBUSTION, DOES NOT RELEASE HAZARDOUS AMOUNTS OF TOXIC GASES WHEN EXPOSED TO FLAMES, AND HAS LOW WATER ABSORPTION. THE TECHNOLOGY TO MEET THIS REQUIREMENT, WITHOUT THE USE OF TOXIC GAS-PRODUCING FLAME RETARDANTS, EXISTS AT IMI-TECH TODAY. TH ...

DEVELOPMENT IS PROPOSED OF AN IMPROVED TYPE OF 400 HZ LINE VOLTAGE REGULATOR (LVR) THAT INHERENTLY PROVIDES LOW-DISTORTION OUTPUT VOLTAGE WITH NON-LINEAR LOADS WITH DISTORTED INPUT VOLTAGE. REGULATION IS ACCOMPLISHED BY ALTERNATELY SWITCHING AT HIGH FREQUENCY A BOOST OR A BUCKTRANSFORMER SECONDARY WINDING IN SERIES BETWEEN THE LVR INPUT AND OUTPUT. THE LVR FUNCTIONS AS A VARIABLE-RATIO TRANSFORMER ...

THIS STUDY WOULD DEFINE THE STATE-OF-THE-ART FOR THE USE OF HYDROGENOXYGEN MIXTURES FOR DIVING OPERATIONS BY COMPILING INFORMATION RELATIVE TO PAST AND CURRENT RESEARCH EFFORTS IN THE U. S. AND FOREIGN COUNTRIES. THIS INFORMATION WOULD BE UTILIZED TO DEVELOP A RATIONALE FOR THE USE OF THIS MIXTURE FOR APPROXIMATE CONDITIONS AND DEFINE AREAS IN WHICH HYDROGEN-OXYGEN MIXTURES WOULD OFFER PHYSIOLOGIC ...

A NEW TECHNOLOGY CALLED "CHEMICAL PARAMETER SPECTROMETRY" IS MODIFIED TO BE ABLE TO ANALYZE SOLID, LIQUID, AND GASEOUSSAMPLES. THE EXPERIMENTS PERFORMED IN THIS WORK RESULT IN THE DESIGN FOR A PROTABLE INSTRUMENT (BLACK BOX) THAT CAN IDENTIFY VIRTUALLY ALL HAZARDOUS COMMODITIES. THE HAZARD OUS SPILLS IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM IS PORTABLE, FULLY A YAUTOMATED, AND RUGGED. IT WILL IDENTIFY HAZARDOUS SUBS ...

SMALL SIZED, CONTINUOUS MONITORING PIEZOELECTRIC CRYSTAL OR SAW DETECTORS WILL BE DEVELOPED FOR DETECTION OF COF OF CONTRABAND DRUGS USING IMMOBILIZED ANTIBODIES. MONITORS WILL BE DESIGNED THAT ARE (1) SPECIFIC FOR ONE DRUG AND (2) GENERAL DETECTORS FOR ANY OF SEVERAL DRUGS THAT MIGHT BE PRESENT. MONITORS WILL BE DESIGNED THAT ARE SIMPLE TO USE, OF LOW COST, AND ARE BASED ON ANALYTICAL METHODOLOGY ...
