SUBMARINE PERISCOPE AND ANTENNA MAST ASSEMBLIES ARE CURRENTLY CONFIGURED WITH AN INTERNAL METALLIC STRUCTURAL MEMBER SURROUNDED BY A TWO PIECE FRP FAIRING. THE FORWARD AND AFT FAIRING COMPONENTS ARE MECHANICALLY FASTENED TO THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE ALONG THEIR EDGES. THIS PROJECT WILL INVESTIGATE THE FEASIBILITY OF DESIGNING AND FABRICATING A ONE PIECE ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY COMPOSITE STRUCTURE TO REPL ...

THIS PROPOSAL PRESENTS AN APPROACH TO THE DEVELOPMENT AND EXPERIMENTALREFINEMENT OF TECHNIQUES AND INTERFACE COMPONENTS TO FACILITATE USER ACCESS TO PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION DATA IN THE CONTEXT OF MILITARY DECISION PROBLEMS. WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP A DESIGN METHODOLOGY FOR DECISION AIDING INTERFACES FOR TIME-STRESSED, MILITARY DECISIONS THAT BEGIN WITH A CHARACTERIZATION OF AVAILABLE INFORMATION AND ...

CURRENTLY, THE DISPLAY OF REAL-TIME RANGE TRACKING DATA OF SUBSURFACE CONTACTS IS ACCOMPLISHED USING SEPARATE 2D PLOTS - X AND Y DATA IS DEPICTED IN SEPARATE DISPLAYS FROM DEPTH AND BOTTOM CONTOUR INFORMATION. THIS VISUAL SEPARATION REQUIRES THE USER TO FORMULATE A MENTAL MAP OF A 3D AREA BASED UPON THE COMBINATION OF THIS SEPARATE DATA. THIS PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT INFORMATION PROCESSING BURDEN FO ...

CONVENTIONAL INTERCONNECT AND SWITCHING TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A LIMITATION IN HIGH THRUPUT PROCESSORS AND COMPUTERS. WAFER SCALE INTEGRATION IS ONE TECHNIQUE TO RESOLVE INTERCONNECT PROBLEMS. METHODS OF INTERFACING TO WAFER SCALE DEVICES WILL RESOLVE INTERCONNECT PROBLEMS. METHODS OF INTERFACING TO WAFER SCALE DEVICES WILL REQUIRE OPTICAL INTERCONNECT TECHNIQUES. IMPLEMENTING COMMUNICA ...

OPTICAL INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY PROMISES TO PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT RELIEF FROM THE PINOUT PROBLEM, DECREASE IMPLEMENTATION COMPLEXITY, AND PROVIDE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE FLEXIBILITY AND REAL-TIME RECONFIGURATION FOR HIGH DENSITY ELECTRONIC PACKING APPLICATIONS SUCH AS VLSI/VHSIC. OPTICAL INTERCONNECT REQUIREMENTS, IN GENERAL, CAN BE DIVIDED INTO FOUR AREAS: DEVICES, ROUTING MECHANISMS, PACKING TECHNIQUE ...

TWO TYPES OF INSTRUMENT ARE EMERGING FOR THE AUTOMATED MEASUREMENT OF DNA. ONE USES FLUORESCENT LABELING AND DETECTION IN THE GEL. THE OTHER USES RADIOACTIVE LABELING AND DETECTION FROM AN AUTORADIOGRAM. INNOVATIONS SUCH AS MULTIPLEX SEQUENCING SUGGEST THAT BOTH TECHNIQUES WILL BE USED IN YEARS TO COME FOR BOTH MAPPING AND SEQUENCING. INSTRUMENTATION FOR THE TWO APPROACHES HAS BEEN SOPHISTICATED A ...

REAGENTS AND REACTION PROCEDURES WILL BE DEVELOPED DURING PHASE I FOR THE COUPLING OF ANTIBODY MOLECULES TO THE ACTIVATED SURFACE OF MICROCHIP CAPACITANCE SENSORS. PROPRIETARY PHOTOAFFINITY REAGENTS WILL BE SYNTHESIZED AND COUPLED TO THE ELECTRODE SURFACE FOR SPECIFIC COVALENT BINDING OF MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY (USING ONE OF THE TWO ANTIBODY BINDING SITES). THIS WILL LEAVE THE REMAINING STABILIZED ANT ...

RECENTLY, MUCH ATTENTION HAS BEEN FOCUSED ON THE USE OF ILLICIT AND/OR DESIGNER DRUGS BY PEOPLE FROM ALL FACETS OF AMERICAN LIFE. ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR OF THE DESIGNER DRUGS ARE THE FENTANYLS WHICH ARE VERY POTENT AND VERY DIFFICULT TO DETECT IN BIOLOGICAL FLUIDS. THESE POTENT DRUGS ARE BEING USED BY PEOPLE FROM ALL SEGMENTS OF OUR SOCIETY INCLUDING HEALTH CARE WORKERS, MILITARY PERSONNEL, AND P ...

BRAIDTECH'S PROPRIETARY AUTOMATED, CONTINUOUS PROCESS FOR FABRICATING 3-D BRAIDED COMPOSITE PREFORMS WILL BE THE BASIS FOR THE DESIGN OF A 3-D BRAIDING MACHINE CAPABLE OF FABRICATING NET SHAPE PREFORMS OF INTEREST TO THE TURBINE ENGINE AEROPROPULSION DESIGNER. THE DESIGN THAT EVOLVES WILL BE AN EXTENSION OF BASIC CONCEPTS EVALUATED BY BRAIDTECH FOR THE DESIGN OF AUTOMATED LOOMS FOR FABRICATING SHA ...
