MOST POISONOUS GASES CAN REACT WITH PROPERLY SELECTED REAGENTS TO FORM COLORFUL COMPOUNDS. THE CHANGE IN COLOR CAN BE USED FOR QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DETERMINATION OF THE POISONOUS GAS IN AIR IF THE OPTICAL DENSITY OF THE COLORED COMPOUND IS MEASURED. IN THE PROPOSED WORK, A SOLID WAFER WILL BE IMPREGNATED WITH COMPOUNDS THAT CHANGE THEIR COLOR FROM COLORLESS TO RED WHEN THEY REACT WITH NOX. ...

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 ...

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 ...

THE RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF BIOTECHNOLOGY HAS MADE IT IMPERATIVE TO DETECT BIOHAZARDS WHICH MAY BE ENCOUNTERED INI STRATEGIC AREAS OF AIR FORCE OPERATIONS. THE RELEASE OF BIOLOGICAL/CHEMICAL WARFARE AGENTS IN A DEEP BASE WOULD PRESENT A SIGNIFICANT THREAT. IN PHASE I OF THIS PROPOSAL, WE WILL DEVELOP A QUALITATIVE METHOD OF DETECTING LOW CONCENTRATIONS OF AIRBORNE CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL AGENTS. THIS ...

IN HYPERSONIC CRUISE, THE OUTER SURFACE OF A VEHICLE MADE OF A COMPOSITE MATERIAL ABLATES. THE ABLATED PARTICLES PENETRATE INTO THE BOUNDARY LAYER AFFECTING THE FLOW DYNAMICS AS WELL AS RADIATIVE AND CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER TO AND FROM THE VEHICLE. THE AUTHORS PROPOSE TO PERFORM THEORETICAL ANALYSIS OF RADIATIVE AND CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER IN A TURBULENT BOUNDARY LAYER OF HEAT RADIATION SCATTERI ...

GEOLOGIC MATERIAL PROPERTY REQUIREMENTS FOR NUMERICAL CALCULATION OF AN EXPLOSIVE EVENT DEPEND ON SEVERAL FACTORS, INCLUDING: THE PEAK PRESSURE EXPECTED OR ACHIEVED, THE GEOMETRY OF LOADING, AND THE TYPE OF CALCULATION BEING PERFORMED. ADDITIONALLY, THE CLASS OF GEOLOGIC MATERIAL INVOLVED; E.G., SAND VERSUS CLAY VERSUS ROCK, WILL DICTATE REQUIREMENTS BASED ON WHAT ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE THE IMPORTA ...
