THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN AUTOMATED CUP INSPECTION MODULE IS PROPOSED. THE OBJECTIVES OF THE PHASE I EFFORT ARE TO ESTABLISHED THE PARAMETERS WHICH MUST BE MEASURED AND THEIR REQUIRED RESOLUTION. THE PARAMETERS INCLUDE HARDNESS, OUTSIDE AND INSIDE DIAMETERS, BASE THICKNESS, TOTAL LENGTH, AND WALL THICKNESS. IN PHASE I, THE MEASUREMENT CONCEPTS WILL BE MOCKED-UP AND DYNAMICALLY TESTED TO VERIFY THEIR G ...

MICROCOMPUTER DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS HAVE SIMPLIFIED THE TASK OF UPDATING AND MAINTAINING LARGE QUANTITIES OF INFORMATION. A PARALLEL DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN THE EMERGENCY OF COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN SYSTEMS THAT ENABLE AN OPERATOR TO EXAMINE AND MANIPULATE DRAWINGS. THE PROPOSED RESEARCH WILL INVESTIGATE THE POSSIBILITY OF COMBINING THE ADVANTAGES OF THE DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WITH THOSE OF CO ...

N/A

RESEARCH IS PROPOSED TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF MAKING A NOVEL NON-METALLIC, DIMENSIONALLY STABLE AND ELECTRICALLY EFFICIENT ANODE FOR USE IN A MEMBRANE ELECTROCHEMICAL PROCE PROCESS FOR TH ELECTRO-OCIDATION OF CHROMIUM III, IN PROCESSLIQUORS, TO USEABLE CHROMIUM VI COMPOUNDS. AN EFFICIENT ECONOMICAL ANODE WOULD MAKE POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIAL USE OF AN ELECTROCHEMICAL PROCESS THAT C ...

A HIGH TEMPERATUE WARNING SWITCH FOR ENGINE COOLING SYSTEMS IS CONCEIVED WHICH PROVIDES WARNING AT A RELATIVELY LOWER TEMPERATURE LEVEL (E.G. 212 DEGREE FAHRENHEIT) IF THE SYSTEM PRESSURE IS BELOW 7 PSIG AND AT A HIGHER TEMPERATURE LEVEL (E.G. 225 DEGREES FAHRENGEIT) IF THE SYSTEM PRESSURE IS ABOVE 7 PSIG. IN THE EVENT OF COOLING SYSTEM PRESSURE LOSS, THIS DUAL-LEVEL, PRESSURE DEPENDENT WARNING SW ...

THE U.S. ARMY'S SMALL CALIBER AMMUNITION MODERNIZATION PROGRAM (SCAMP) CARTRIDGE BRASS (70/30) CUP INSPECTION IS CURRENTLY A MANUAL PROCESS THAT IS BASED ON THE DIMENSIONAL AND HARDNESS (OR GRAIN SIZE( MEASUREMENTS OF SAMPLES FROM EACH CUP LOT. IN THIS PROPOSED WORK, TESTING WITH LABORATORY MOCKUPS WOULD EVALUATE THE MOST PROMISING SENSING TECHNIQUES FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF CUP DIMENSIONS AND HARDN ...

RAMP CORPORATION PROPOSES TO ACCOMPLISH PERFORMANCE EVALUATION ON MICROCOMPUTER BASED EXPERT SYSTEMS FOR THE PURPOSE OF SELECTING A SYSTEM APPROPRIATE FOR USE IN FEDERAL CONTRACT MANAGEMENT SUPPORT. THE PROJECT OUTPUTS WILL BE A DEMONSTRATION MODULE FOCUSED ON CONTRACT CHANGES AND A FINAL REPORT WHICH DOCUMENTS THE SELECTION PROCESS AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION CRITERIA UTILIZED IN THE EFFORT. THE E ...

To reach the end user, oil and gas production at the wellhead must be transmitted through the country and distributed to a wide range of customers. This logistical system requires natural gas gathering lines, processing facilities, product storage tanks and lots of other equipment. What results is air pollution caused by industry losses during these operations and the use of continuous or intermit ...

To reduce size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-c), military platforms have been evolving towards more integrated platforms that utilize all available space. For radiating systems, this will require exploring innovative design methods, materials and manufacturing approaches to realize cost-effective, customizable and conformal antennas. An attractive solution to this challenge is offered by additive ...
