A NEW TYPE NOISE REDUCTION TECHNIQUE (1) HAS OPENED THE OPPORTUNITY TO DETECT BOTH A SIGNAL WITH NEGATIVE SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO AND RANDOM SIGNAL ON A LINE. THE IMPORTANT ADVANTAGE OF THIS TECHNIQUE OVER EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT NOISE AS WELL AS AN INTERNAL BACKROUND NOISE. IT PROVIDES A REAL TIME DETECTION AT A WIDE FREQUENCY RANGE, THIS VERY EFFICENT AND INEXPENSIVE APPROACH TO IMPROVE THE SNR BY TH ...

THE VALUE OF LIGHTWEIGHT\HIGH STRENGTH TRAIGLAR TRUSS STRUCTURAL MEMBERS ARE RECOGNIZED FOR THERE STRENGTH AND DESIGN EFFICIENCY.MULTIPLE SECTIONS MAY BE JOINED TOGETHER WITHOUT THE USE OF TOOLS USING A VEELOCK JOINT ATTACHED TO THE ENDS OF THE TRUSS. THE VEELOCK JOINT WILL CONNECT TO ITSELF INSTANTLY PROVIDING A LONG SPAN OF TRUSS. QUICK- CONNECT\DISCONNECT VEELOCK TRUSS STRUCTURES WOULD HAVE BRO ...

LOAD-ATTENUATING SEAT CUSHIONS DESIGNED FOR CRASHWORTHY SEATING SYSTEMS MUST SERVE A DUAL PURPOSE. SUFFICIENT CUSHIONING MUST BE USED TO EVENLY DISTRIBUTE CONTRACT LOADS TO AVOID CONTARACT LOADS TO AVOID PRESSURE POINTS THAT CAN CAUSE DISCOMFORT,BUT THE DEMANDS OF CRASH LOADING. ALSO, THE RIGORS OF FIELD USE CAN SERIOUSLY DEGRADE MATERIALS COMMONLY IN USE. THEREFORE, THE DESIGN OF CRASHWORTHY CUSH ...

TWO DIFFERENT DETECTORS, BOTH USING THIN, CRACKED-ETHYLENE FOILS, WILL BE MADE. ONE DETECTOR CONSISTS OF A LOW-PRESSURE GAS CELL, SEALED AT EITHER END WITH ALUMINIZED ETHYLENE FOILS ABOUT 10 MICROGRAMS PER SQUARE CENTIMETER THICK. LIGHT GENERATED WHEN THE PROTON BEAM TRAVERSES THE GAS WILL BE VIEWED THROUGH A SIDE WINDOW; THE INTENSITY OF THE LIGHT, AS MEASURED WITH A PHOTOMULTIPLIER OR PHOTODIODE ...

PHASE I WOULD INVOLVE STUDY TO DETERMINE THE PARAMETERS OF THE REQUIRED SYSTEM AND TO ASCERTAIN THE FEASIBILITY AND BEST APPROACHES. VISUAL STIMULI REQUIREMENTS OF PRESENT AND FUTURE VISUAL RESEARCH CONDUCTED BY THIS ARMY LABORATORY WOULD BE ASCERTAINED. THE CAPA BILITIES OF THE EXISTING HARDWARE WILL THEN BE EVALUATED. FINALLY, THE DESIRED TYPES OF USER INTERACTIONS WITH THE SYSTEM WILL BE EXPLOR ...

THE INCREASINGLY WIDESPREAD APPLICATION OF MIL-STD-1553B TO MILITARY AND, POTNTIALLY COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT HAS CREATED A NEED FOR DIGITAL OUTPUT FLOW ANGLE TRANSMITTERS. THE CURRENT MEANS OF GENERATING A DIGITAL OUTPUT FROM EXISITING TRANSDUCERS HAS AN UNFLAVORABLE IMPACT ON SIZE, WEIGHT, POWER, COST AND RELIABILITY. DIGITIAL ENCODING TECHNIQUES ARE BELIEVED TO HAVE BENEFICIAL APPLICATION TO EXISTIN ...

THE POSIDENT CONCEPT USES FINGER PRINT IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM TO COMPARE THE SUBJECTS LIVE FINGER PRINT WITH A STORED FINGER PRINT. THE STORAGE MEDIUM CAN BE ONE OF SEVERAL TYPES. A PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGEIIS ONE METHOD OF STORAGE. DIGITAL DATA IN PROM IS A SECOND METHOD. THE ID CARD IS PLACED FON THE ELECTRO-OPTICAL CORRELATION DEVICE. A VIDEO CAMERA (VIDICON OR SOLID STATE CCD CAMERA) IS USED TO SCAN ...
