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 ...

IT IS PROPOSED TO UTILIZE A GAS DENSITY DETECTOR FOR PROFILING GASES ENCOUNTERED IN THE HELICOPTER ENVIRONMENT. THE DETECTOR, COUPLED WITH AN APPROPRIATE GAS CHROMATOGRAPH COLUMN, HAS BEEN PROVED IN IDENTIFYING AND QUANTIFYING INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS IN COMPLEX GAS MIXTURES. THE GAS DENSITY DETECTOR GIVES A RESPONSE THAT IS A FUNCTION OF THE DIFFERENCE IN DENSITY OF THE SELECTED CARRIER GAS AND THE ...

THIS PROPOSED PROGRAM IS TO INVESTIGATE THE FEASIBILITY OF USING UNIQUE FILTERING TECHIQUES TO PROCESS PULSE-TO-PULSE RCS AND PHASE DATA TO TRACK AN AIR VEHICLE IN THE PRESENCE OF CHAFF. THE PROPOSED TECHNIQUE WOULD PERMIT TRACKING THE AIRCRAFT WITH OR WITHOUT THE PRESENCE OF CHAFF. IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT THIS INSTRUMENTATION COULD BE ADDED TO ANY COHERENT OR SEMI-COHERENT RADAR AND BE FAR SUPERIO ...

AN EVALUATION OF AVAILABLE EXTENDED-WEAR HYDROGEL CONTACT LENS FOR POSSIBLE USE BY MILITARY AIRCREWS UNDER COMBAT CONDITIONS. THIS EVALUATION WILL QUANTITATIVELY AND OVALITATIVELY CHARACTERIZE EACH SUCH LENS AGAINST DOA PROVIDED MILITARY REQUIREMETNS. THE RESULT WILL BE THE SELECTION OF A FAMILY OF LENSES FOR FURTHER CLINICAL AND FIELD INVESTIGATION AND EVALUATION.

Our service members deployed worldwide are at risk of exposures to local environmental and industrial toxicants which can potentially result in long-term adverse health effects. Understanding the impact of these exposures is critical for improved force protection and safeguarding individual soldier health. Capturing and classifying exposure data is essential for developing and implementing risk mi ...

A composite matrix resin was demonstrated during Phase I that will reduce the cost of structural tactical motor hardware. While the resin was designed specifically for filament winding applications, the technology could easily be transitioned to additional composite fabrication areas. Formulated resin systems were prepared to obtain the desired processing properties and high glass transition tempe ...

For dynamic protection of LWIR sensors from laser dazzler threats, Nanohmics, Inc., proposes to develop a thin, light-weight, electronically tunable notch filter based on microfabricated graphene-integrated metasurfaces.The optical filter can reject a specific narrow spectral line (notch) or multiple simultaneous notches.The metasurface comprises an engineered array of resonant microstructure nano ...

The goal of the Phase II program is to demonstrate growth of large-area single-crystal diamond substrates having surface area of 6 cm2 and suitable for electronic device applications. This will represent a major leap in available substrate area, from less than 1 cm2 available today. The technical path will directly follow the work begun in the Phase I program, which is, using our toroidal plasma C ...
