THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED EFFORT IS TO REDUCE THE SIZE, WEIGHT, AND COST OF THE RELAY OPTICS OF THE AIRCRAFT HEAD UP DISPLAY (HUD), BY REPLACING IT WITH TRANSMISSION HOLOGRAPHIC LENSES. HOLOGRAPHIC LENSES ARE VERY LIGHT AND CAN BE MANUFACTURED AT VERY LOW COSTS. APPLICATIONS OF HOLOGRAPHIC LENSES TO HUD WERE LIMITED IN THE PAST, DUE TO WIDE SPECTRAL BAND OF THE HUD - CATHODE RAY TUBE (CRT). HO ...

A SPECTRALLY AGILE BASED UPON A TUNABLE FILTER CAN EFFECTIVELY MEASURE INFRARED BACKGROUND, TARGETS, AND OBSCURANT CLOUDS. AN INTEGRATED OPTICS INTEGRATED FILTER (IOTF) PLACED IN FRONT OF THE SENSOR FOCAL PLANE OR INTEGRATED WITH THE FOCAL PLANE DETECTORS CAN BE USED TO SELECT WAVEBAND LOCATION AND BANDWIDTH IN THE INFRARED. A SPECIFIC CONCEPT FOR THE FILTER IS PROPOSED BASED UPON A MACHZEHNDER IM ...

SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENTS IN TEST EFFICIENCY RESULTING FROM THE USE OF ITEM RESPONSE THEORY AND COMPUTERIZED TESTING MAY BE COMPROMISED IF DUPLICATE OR SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR TEST ITEMS APPEAR IN ITEM POOLS. THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL DESIGN, IMPLEMENT, AND EVALUATE SEVERAL PROCEDURES FOR DETECTING SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR ITEMS IN AN ITEM POOL. THESE PROCEDURES WILL RANGE FROM SIMPLE ELEMENT AND TOKEN ...

OPTOELECTRONIC SOURCES, INTEGRATED AS MONOLITHIC ELEMENTS ON SILICON VLSI CHIPS, OFFER IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES IN THE TRANSMISSION OF INFORMATION WITHIN THE CHIP OR BETWEEN CHIPS IN ADVANCED COMPUTER SYSTEMS. THE SPEED OF OPTICAL-INTEGRATED VLSI DEVICES IS EXPECTED TO BE CONSIDERABLY HIGHER THAN EQUIVALENT VLSI WITH METALLIC INTERCONNECTS, DUE TO ABSENCE OF THE RC DELAY INHERENT IN THE METALLIC CONDU ...

THE ULTIMATE HIGH-EFFICIENCY CRYSTALLINE SILICON SOLAR CELL DESIGN CONSISTS OF A THIN FILM OF ELECTRICALLY-ACTIVE SILICON EPITAXIALLY GROWN ON AN OXIDE-OVERCOATED, INFRARED-TRANSPARENT GALLIUM PHOSPHIDE (GAP) SUBSTRATE. IN ADDITION TO HIGH CONVERSION EFFICIENCY AND INTRINSIC RADIATION RESISTANCE DUE TO THE THIN ACTIVE LAYERS, THIS NOVEL DESIGN HAS SEVERAL UNIQUE PERFORMANCE ENHANCING FEATURES. THE ...

A FEASIBILITY DEMONSTRATION PLAN IS PROPOSED FOR THE AFFINITY IMMOBILIZATION OF NON-CONSUMMABLE COMPONENTS OF A HOMOGENEOUS ENZYME IMMUNOASSAY SYSTEM, IN A FUNCTIONAL ARRANGEMENT WITH ONE ANOTHER ON A SILICA-BASED SENSOR SURFACE. THE BIOMEMBRANE CHEMICAL SENSOR DEVICE TO BE DEVELOPED THEREFROM, IS EXPECTED TO BE A FIELDABLE (SMALL AND RUGGED WITH LOW POWER AND CONSUMMABLE MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS) MU ...
