Ganuna (7)-ray lenses are an advanced technology currently under development at Argonne National Laboratory for arms control application. The purpose of this proposal is to address whether y-ray lens technology can enable an improved system for imaging radioactive isotopes in patients. In nuclear medicine, it is often desirable to generate a y-ray image that shows the exact areas where an emitting ...

A PROGRAM FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A HYDROGEN GENERATOR FOR USE WITH PEM FUEL CELLS IN UUV APPLICATIONS IS PROPOSED. HYDROGEN IS GENERATED BY REACTING ALKALI AND ALKALIEARTH METAL HYDRIDES WITH WATER. PURE HYDROGEN AND ALKALI-ALKALI EARTH METAL OXIDES OR HYDROXIDES ARE FORMED. ENERGY DENSITIES MAY EXCEED 1KWHR/LB OF REACTANTS. GENERATION IS NOT AFFECTED BY VEHICLE POSITION OR MOTION. THE PROPOSED DE ...

THE COLOR FILTERS CURRENTLY USED TO CONVERT BLACK-AND-WHITE LCD DISPLAYS TO COLOR DISPLAYS SEVERELY LIMIT THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE DISPLAYS BECAUSE AVAILABLE COLOR FILTER MATERIALS (DYES AND GLASSES) ARE INHERRENTLY RATHER BROADBAND. CONSEQUENTLY, IF THEY ARE DENSE ENOUGH TO LIMIT THE TRANSMITTED LIGHT TO A REASONABLY NARROW BAND FOR COLOR PURITY, THEY ALSO CUT DOWN ON THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE TRANSMITT ...

Compact Software, a leading software company in development of CAD tools for microwave and RF has teamed up with Avoca Laboratories, a pioneering company in the field of quasi-optics and Cornell University to develop a novel planar high power quasi-optical amplifier array. The array is based on successful experimental work at Cornell through Raytheon support. The design is based on a series of uni ...

This proposed development will result in the first production process for direct electroplating of copper interconnects for microelectronics manufacturing. Technology for direct electroplating processes will be developed. The direct electroplating of interconnects with the ECSI proprietary process produces the highest attainable interconnect conductance. The ECSI process does not need the conventi ...

A point of use generator for chlorine gas production is proposed. The generator would provide ultrahigh purity chlorine which is necessary to enhance the growth rate and decrease the impurity level in silicon oxides for silicon device fabrication. The generator will also eliminate the need for environmentally unacceptable organochlorine compounds which are presently used for oxide growth enhanceme ...
