Not Available Experiments to prove the feasibility of developing a D-He3 fusion power plant for space applications (both station/site keeping and propulsion) are proposed. Prior conceptual studies by various groups have concluded that the high power-weight ratio of the

Not Available Advanced ceramics Hafnium Carbide can enable components for both oxygen-rich and high-temperature applications. However, HfC and related refractory materials are difficult to produce and even more difficult to process into useful shapes. Nanomaterials Research Corporation (NRC) proposes to develop a cost-effective process to produce ultrafine powders of HfC and related refractory mat ...

Not Available We propose the development of an ultra-compact, light-weight, scan-free and low-cost spectrometer in the visible to near-infrared region based on a novel diffractive optics in conjunction with a one-dimensional solid-state detector array. The dispersive

THE DOMESTIC GAS-FIRED COOKING RANGE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A MAJOR SOURCE OF INDOOR AIR POLLUTION, AND DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS ON HUMAN HEALTH HAVE BEEN LINKED TO ITS NORMAL USE. THE PLAUSIBLE CAUSATIVE AGENTS PRODUCED BY THESE APPLIAMCES ARE NITROGEN DIOXIDE AND CARBONMONOXIDE. THE PURPOSE OF THE RESEARCH PROPOSED IS TO CONSTRUCT A WORKING PROTOTYPE OF A CATALYTIC INFRA-RED GAS BURNER SUITABLE FOR K ...
