Several objectives in this proposal include systematic study of innovative ways and means to improve survivability and safety of airborne platforms (C-130, C-17, Helicopter), flight crew, paratroops, cargo and equipment. High altitude deployment and glide operations, and airborne snatch and recovery of individuals or cargo from ground or water pick-up sites will also be studied. This proposal will ...

This proposal is directed to the preparation of high-surface-area (HSA) activated-carbon fibers that are suitable for the Army's lightweight chemical-protective combat uniforms. The overall goal of the proposed program is to develop a domestic source of activated-carbon fibers having surface areas greater than 1500 m2/g. Our approach begins with a novel method of preparing polymeric precursor fibe ...

ADAPTATION OF STATE-OF-THE-ART GIGAHERTZ WAFER PROBE TECHNOLOGY (WPT) FOR USE IN DESIGN, TROUBLESHOOTING, AND PRODUCTION OF MULTICHIP MODULES (MCMS) IS PROPOSED. THESE PROBES ARE CURRENTLY CAPABLE OF TESTING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES ON WAFERS AT FREQUENCIES UPTO 75 GHZ. PHASE I WILL SHOW THE ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL FEASIBILITY OF PROBING MCMS AND SET DIRECTION FOR PHASE II. KEY TASKS INCLUDE ESTABL ...

USE OF THE ESCHERICHIA COLI BETA-GLUCURONIDASE GENE (GUS) AS A FUSION MARKER FOR ANALYSIS OF GENE EXPRESSION IN TRANSFORMED PLANTS HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED. THE SYNTHESIS, BY CHEMICAL AND ENZYMATIC METHODS, OF A SERIES OF GLUCURONIC ACID CONJUGATES OF PLANT REGULATORY SUBSTANCES IS BEING DEVELOPED. RESEARCHERS ARE SYNTHESIZING CONJUGATES OF HERBICIDES AND TOXINS, AND TESTING THESE CONJUGATES FOR THE ...

RESEARCHERS ARE DETERMINING THE FEASIBILITY OF USING A STANDARD COMPUTER MOUSE AS A POSITION TRANSDUCER FOR PHYSICAL SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS. THIS NOVEL USE OF A MOUSE PROVIDES A LOW-COST MEASURING DEVICE THAT IS EASY FOR TEACHERS OR STUDENTS TO INSTALL, USE, AND MODIFY FOR THEIR INDIVIDUAL EXPERIMENTS. SINCE THE MOUSE INTERFACE IS BUILT INTO ALL COMPUTERS, THE CONCEPT IS NOT RESTRICTED TO A SPECIFIC ...

1This program is directed towards developing a pilot manufacturing line for chip-on-glass (COG) monochrome and color thin film electroluminescent (TFEL) flat panel displays. This manufacturing line will use the same COG process identified and qualified in Phase I. A statistically significant quantity of VGA flat panel displays will then be built on this manufacturing line to verify the COG manufac ...
