Miniature adsorption refrigeration systems capable of cooling as low as -60 degrees Fahrenheit without fans for heat rejection are being developed. When used with computers and electronics packages, advantages include 40% higher processing speed with key chips operating at low temperature, better reliability with hermitically sealed chassis and no hot spots, and low noise by elimination of fans. O ...

REPAIR OF SHIPBOARD MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT REQUIRES INFORMATION AND EXPERTISE NOT EASILY AVAILABLE TO SHIPBOARD MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL. WHAT INFORMATION THAT IS AVAILABLE IS GENERALLY EMBEDDED IN TECHNICAL MANUALS OR MAINTENANCE/REPAIR CARDS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO DECIPHER, BULKY, AND SOMETIMES HARD TO MAINTAIN. A SYSTEM THAT ALLOWED FOR IMPROVED MAINTENANCE AIDING AND GUIDANCE TO NON-EXPERTS WOULD ...

THE CONTINUOUS ADVANCEMENT IN COMPUTERS AND PROGRAMMING METHODS COUPLED WITH EXPANDING MODELING TECHNIQUES OFFER THE REAL POSSIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A DETAILED COMPUTER SIMULATION OF SHIPBOARD POWER SYSTEMS. EXPLORING THIS POSSIBILITY IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS PROPOSAL. THIS WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED BY ESTABLISHING THE MODELING REQUIREMENTS IN REGARD TO THE DETAIL NECESSARY, THE FORM OF THE COMPONENT MODE ...

THERE IS A NEED TO UNDERSTAND AND PREDICT THE COUPLING OF TRANSIENT ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS TO METALLIC ENCLOSURES. THIS ALLOWS US TO SAFEGUARD SENSITIVE ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT FROM THE EFFECTS OF LARGE ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSES, WHOSE ORIGINS MAY BE NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS PULSED MICROWAVES OR LIGHTNING. THE PROBLEM THAT WE PROPOSE TO INVESTIGATE INVOLVES THE COUPLING OF ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS TO A THIN WIR ...

AUTOMATIC TEST EQUIPMENT (ATE) FOR RADIO FREQUENCY AND MICROWAVE APPLICATIONS TYPICALLY EMPLOY CONVENTIONAL "RACK-AND-STACK" IEEE-488 INSTRUMENTS TO PROVIDE STIMULUS AND MEASUREMENT FUNCTIONS. EACH INSTRUMENT IS A STAND-ALONE TEST FUNCTION AND USUALLY CONTAINS IT'S OWN DEDICATED MICROPROCESSOR, POWER SUPPLY, CHASSIS, FRONT PANEL, AND EXTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS INTERFACE. IN ATE SYSTEM APPLICATIONS, C ...
