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 ...

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 ...

ISR PROPOSES TO CONDUCT A PROOF-OF-CONCEPT STUDY OF A UNIQUE HIGHFLUX TWO-PHASE THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR SPACECRAFT. THIS SYSTEM COUPLES HIGH POWER DENSITY EVAPORATIVE SPRAY COOLING WITH AN EXPANDABLE VAPOR STORAGE AND CONDENSATION DEVICE. PREVIOUS WORK HAS DEMONSTRATED THE IMMENSE POTENTIAL OF EVAPORATIVE SPRAY COOLING FOR REMOVING EXTREMELY HIGH HEAT FLUXES (@0 W/CM[2]) WITH VERY SMALL TEMP ...

N/A

IN THE DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF MULTI-POINT INITIATED WARHEAD SYSTEMS CURRENT WORK CENTERS ON FULL-SCALE TESTING OF WARHEADS AND ON THREEDIMENSIONAL HYDROCODE SIMULATION. RECENTLY AT DYNA EAST DEVELOPMENT OF SIMPLE ANALYTICAL MODELS WAS INITIATED TO PROVIDE FIRST-CUT DESIGN TOOLS AND PERFORM PARAMETRIC SENSITIVITY STUDIES. ALL DESIGN TOOLS SUFFER FROM A LACK OF ACCURACY IN PREDICTING THE MACH INTERA ...

THIS PROPOSAL IS FOR THE DESIGN, PROTOTYPE CONSTRUCTION AND TESTING OF MEMBRANE INTERFACES WHICH CAN BE USED WITH MASS SPECTROMETERS FOR CONTINUOUS WATER MONITORING. THIS IDEA IS BASED ON THE SELECTIVITY OF SEMI-PERMEABLE MEMBRANES. THE MEMBRANE INTERFACE IS A RELATIVELY SIMPLE AND INEXPENSIVE SEPARATION TECHNIQUES. THE CONTINUOUS WATER MONITORING SYSTEM WILL BE COMPOSED OF A QUADRUPOLE MASS SPECT ...

THE PROPOSED WORK IS CONCERNED WITH THE DISTRIBUTION OF SIGNALS THROUGH A FIBEROPTIC NETWORK IN LARGE PHASED ARRAY ANTENNAS UTILIZED FOR RADAR AND COMMUNICATION PURPOSES. SPECIFICALLY, SMALL SCALE SUBARRAY CONSISTING OF NINE ELEMENTS WILL BE DESIGNED, FABRICATED, AND TESTED. THE SUBARRAY WILL UTILIZE A FIBEROPTIC DISTRIBUTION NETWORK TO ROUTE VARIOUS CONTROL AND INFORMATION SIGNALS BETWEEN THE CEN ...

THIS PROPOSAL ADDRESSES THE PROBLEM OF PROTECTION OF U.S. AIR FORCE AND OTHER DOD AIRCRAFT AGAINST HEAT-SEEKING, INFRARED GUIDED MISSILES. WHILE THERE ARE SEVERAL EXISTING APPROACHES ATTEMPTING TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM, THEY ARE VARIOUSLY, LIMITED IN ROBUSTNESS, MULTI-SPECTRAL CAPABILITIES, RELIABILITY AND COST. THE APPROACH PROPOSED HEREIN WHICH EFFECT A LOW COST SOLUTION FOR ACQUISITION, AND LIFE-C ...

AN OUTLINE FOR THE DESIGN OF A TRANSPORTABLE HIGH SPEED TELEMETRY TRACKING SYSTEM IS DESCRIBED. THE TRANSPORTABLE SYSTEM RECEIVES S-BAND TELEMETRY DATA, DETERMINES THE ACTUAL TRAJECTORY, PROVIDES UPLINK CONTROL OF PAYLOADS, AND PROVIDES FLIGHT TERMINATION CAPABILITY. TWO SYSTEMS ARE REQUIRED TO SATISFY THE RANGE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR REDUNDANCY. EACH SYSTEM CONSISTS OF AN ANTENNA MOUNTED TO A TW ...
