N/A

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PHASE I RESEARCH IS TO STUDY THE DEVELOPMENT OF VARIOUS TYPES OF LOW NOISE 44GHZ RECEIVER FRONT ENDS, AND TO IDENTIFY DEVELOPMENTAL DIFFICULTIES AND TECHNICAL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH EACH DESIGN. A HIGHLY RELIABLE, SPACE QUANTIFIABLE, LOW NOISE 44GHZ IS RECEIVER NEEDED. THE STUDY WILL ESTABLISH THE OPTIMUM COURSE TOWARD THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE DESIRED RECEIVER. ONE PRINCIPAL OUTP ...

WITH OXIDES LIKE THORIA HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR A LONG TIME. HOWEVER, OXIDES ARE NOT WET BY METALS, SO WHEN OXIDE DISPERSION HARDENED METALS ARE MELTED, THE DISPERSED OXIDE SEPARATES AS A SLAG AND THE ADVANTAGES OF DISPERSION HARDENING ARE LOST. IN THIS PROPOSAL, A NEW APPROACH TO OXIDE DISPERSION HARDENING IS SUGGESTED, THROUGH THE USE OF METALLOPHILIC COLLOIDAL OXIDE PARTICLES. SPECIFICALLY, A FUNDAM ...

N/A

WORK IS PROPOSE TO ASSESS THE FEASIBILTY OF SODIUM\SULFUR-SELENIUM BATTERIES FOR ELECTRICALLY POWERED WEAPONS SYSTEMS ABOARD AIR BREATHING AIRCRAFT AND FOR ENERGY STORAGE ABOARD ORBITAL FLIGHT VEHICLES. SEVERAL POTENTIAL ADANTAGES OF THE SODIUM\ SULFUR-SELENIUM BATTERY OVER THE SODIUM-SULFUR BATTERY ARE POINTED OUT, INCLUDING HIGHER POWER AND ENERGY DENSITIES AND LONGER LIFETIMES. BASED ON SOME PR ...

N/A

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 ...

N/A

ASI PROPOSES A RESEARCH METHODOLOGY FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAXIMIZING THE SEARCH FOR AND THE EXTRACTION OF NEW CONCEPTS AND INNOVATIONS IN THE AREA OF EXTENDING THE CAPABILITIES OF THE HUMAN IN AERONAUTICAL/ SPACE SYSTEMS THROUGH DESIGNING, CONDUCTING, RUNNING, AND MONITORING OF A FUTURISTS/RESEARCH WORKSHOP. THE PROPOSED METHODOLOGY INCLUDES: 1) THE USE OF ASI DESIGNED OR REFINED FUTURIST TOOLS AND M ...
