High power transducer boots must undergo one of the most stringent stress profiles of any underwater encapsulation. Added to the hydrostatic and vibratory fatigue stresses are the problems that come with moving frictional contact - abrasion and heating. Abrasion resistant materials are typically not heat resistant, and fatigue resistant materials are not good at sustaining heat, abrasion, and we ...

We propose to develop a low weight small volume ultrasonic imaging system Rthat will allow an inspector to quickly detect the amount of corrosion present in Tan aircraft structural component. The initial objective of the Phase I activity is Gthe application and laboratory demonstration and evaluation of a newly Ndeveloped system. A need exists for detailed visualization by an operator of Psu ...

THIS PAPER PROPOSES AN ADVANCED KINETIC ENERGY WEAPONS SYSTEM THAT WILL SUPPORT NAVAL MISSION WORLD WIDE. THE WARFARE CONCEPT IS BASED ON AN ELECTROMAGNETIC LAUNCH CONCEPT WHERE LARGE NUMBERS OF 150 KG PROJECTILES ARE LAUNCHED IN ANTICIPATION OF A CONFLICT. THE PROJECTILES WOULD BE BOOSTED INTO 120 MINUTE ORBITS BY SMALL SOLID ROCKETS. THE PROJECTILES COULD BE CALLED DOWN INDIVIDUALLY BY FORCES UN ...

The proposed program will concentrate on the design of pulse-amplitude modulators using innovative architectures to overcome the limitations of conventional designs in driving predominantly capacitive loads, such as the modulating anodes of high-power microwave vacuum tubes. The design will necessarily be capable of operation at high pulse voltage levels and at high pulse repetition rates. Typic ...

RECENT ADVANCES IN STATE-OF-THE-ART LASER TECHNOLOGY SHOULD PERMIT THE DEVELOPMENT OF DETECTING AND LOCALIZING TORPEDOS USING BLUE-GREEN XENON CHLORIDER LASERS, STEERED BY BRAGG CELLS TO DEFINE A PROTECTIVE ENVELOPE OR PERIMETER AROUND A MOVING SHIP. BRIMROSE PROPOSES TO EXAMINE CONVENTIONAL MIRROR STEERED SYSTEMS, AS WELL AS THE ACOUSTOOPTIC LASER BEAM STEERING METHOD TO COMPARE OPERATIONAL ADVAN ...

GreyPilgrim LLC has patented and developed a long-reach manipulator that combines modular components in a reconfigurable, flexible, lightweight design suitable for a wide variety of commercial and government applications. We have demonstrated 8¿, 15¿, and 33¿ implementations of the modular EMMA¿ robotic arm technology under DOE Hanford contracts for use in retrieving nuclear waste from deterio ...

PROPOSES DEVELOPMENT OF A ROUTINE TABLE ACCESS METHOD WHICH TREATS NETWORK ADDRESSES AS VARIABLE LENGTH OCTET STRINGS WITHOUT INTERNAL STRUCTURE 0 I.E. AS FLAT ADDRESSE - TO SIMPLIFY THE HANDLING OF MOBIL END-SYSTEM SIMULTANEOUSLY CONNECTED TO MULTIPLE ACCESS POINTS. SPECIFIC ROUTING TABLE ACCESS AND MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES ARE PROPOSED WHICH ALLOW RAPID ACCESS IN A SINGLE PROBE WHILE LIMITING THE S ...
