The Integrated Surface Treatment System (ISTS) Plasma Spray CNC Workcell was originally designed to repair/refurbish a broad range of common worn parts so that they could be returned to service with a minimum of specialized operator skill or ancillary tooling. The concept holds great promise for both the US Government and for commercial industry. However, even though the thermal spray process is r ...

Our proposed research for Phase I is in response to US Navy solicitation for low-cost synthesis methods for producing nanocrystalline ceramics to offer the best properties for modem technological applications. We propose to process high purity unagglomerated and engineered nanocrystalline AIN as a model material, by a low-cost method called Gas Phase Combustion Synthesis (GCS) to combat two key is ...

Hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI), in the usual form of oxo species, is used in manyindustrial processes and products. As a consequence, Cr(VI)= containingcompounds are often found in wastewater and contaminated sites. Since Cr(VI) isconsidered highly toxic and carcinogenic, it is extremely important to have areliable, easy-to-use, sensitive monitor for determining Cr(VI) concentrationsin process, on ...

We propose the definition and development of a low cost, highly compact coastal zone hyperspectral imager, the Sea-DASI, for quantitative, few meter resolution remote sensing of the ocean coastal zone via robotic( high altitude) or light aircraft. The instrument is based on a Digital Array Scanned Interferometer(DASI) invented and patented by the PI. Sea-DASI will Observe in the-visible-near infra ...

THE TECHNOLOGY IS BECOMING MATURE AND THE REPAIR ASPECTS ARE NOW BECOMING A MAJOR CONSIDERATION. IT IS EXPECTED THAT PRIOR ATTEMPTS TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM WILL BE PUT ASIDE AND AN ANSWER WILL BE SOUGHT IN THE APPLICATION OF NEW MATERIALS. A BLANKET MAY BE DEVELOPED THAT HAS THE ABILITY TO CONTROL IT.O. s OWN TEMPERATURE. THE ELIMINATION OF THE CLASSICAL TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER MAY BE POSSIBLE USING ...
