The objective of the proposed work is to determine whether Dioxide Materials' miniature C02 sensors have the potential to be adapted for autonomous measurement of ocean carbon. The existing sensors have many advantages for measurements of ocean carbon. They are much smaller and less costly than the existing sensors, work with much smaller gas samples, and use much less power. The sensors were d ...

The goal of this project is to develop, implement, and experimentally validate a new Differential Global Navigation Satellite System (DGNSS) capable of providing sub-centimeter positioning accuracy for quasi-static scientific, mapping, and survey applications. The main feature of the proposed DGNSS solution is that it leverages GNSS reference data from existing NOAA's Continuously Operational Ref ...

SK realistic estimated timeline of 18 months maximum, hopefully sooner, will allow for design, engineer and testing modifications to be addressed. SK learned from Phase II that even the simple modifications can result in hours of engineering and design work. The successful completion of the DOTWASH system was designed and developed. The overall components were tested with good operating capabiliti ...

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 ...

HIGH-PRESSURE WATERJET IS ONE OF SEVERAL NEW METHODS FOR CUTTING MATERIALS DEVELOPED DURING THE LAST DECADE. CURRENTLY IT IS USED, AT STATIC WATER PRESSURE UP TO 60,000 PSI, TO CUT A WIDE VARIETY OF SOFT AND MEDIUM-HARD MATERIALS IN FACTORIES; IT HAS BEEN EVALUATED FOR GEOTECHNICAL APPLICATIONS WITH VERY LIMITED SUCCESS. THIS RESEARCH CONCERNS THE USE OF ABRASIVE-ENTRAINED WATERJET FOR CUTTING AND ...

THIS PROGRAM DEALS WITH THE EVALUATION OF LIQUID LEVEL DETECTION DATA OBTAINED DURING THE MT-4 EXPERIMENT, WHICH IS THE LAST TEST PERFORMED IN THE LOCA SIMULATION IN NRU REACTOR PROGRAM. THESE DATA OFFER THE POTENTIAL OR RELATINGTHE ONLY FULL-LENGTH IN REACTOR REFLOOD INFORMATION ON N NUCLEAR-POWERED PWR FUEL BUNDLES TO COLLAPSED LIQUID LEVEL AND TWO-PHASE COOLING OF DEFORMED AND RUPTURED FUEL BUN ...

THIS PROGRAM DEALS WITH USING THE DIGITIZED VIDEO TDR LIQUIDLEVEL DATA PREPARED UNDER CONTRACT (NRC-04-84-146) OF THE MEMT-4 TEST FROM THE LOCA SIMULATION IN NRU PROGRAM. THESE NEW DATA AND TECHNIQUES WILL BE APPLIED TO ESTIMATE THE VOIDFRACTION, LIQUID LEVEL, AND LOCAL HEAT TRANFER CONDITIONS FOR THE OTHER NRU TESTS WHERE ONLY SELF POWERED NEUTRON DETECTORS (SPND'S) AND THERMOCOUPLE DATA ARE AVAI ...

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 ...
