A1-CHEM FUELS, INC. HAS A PATENT PENDING FOR AN ELECTROTHER-MAL DEVICE TO PRODUCE MEDIUM TO HIGH BTU FUEL GAS FROM WASTEHYDROCARBON SOURCES. THIS UNIT OPERATES BY PRODUCING A HIGH-VOLTAGE ALTERNATING CURRENT ELECTRIC DISCHARGE ACROSS THE INTERFACE BETWEEN A WASTE HYDROCARBON AND WATER. THE EXTREMELY HIGH TEMPERATURE WITHIN THE ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE IS SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE LOCALIZED FAST PYROLYSIS OF ...

THE OBJECTIVE IS TO DEVELOP COMPUTER SOFTWARE WHICH ANALYZES THE OPERATIONAL HISTORY OF ARMY VEHICLES, SUCH AS 5-TON DIESEL TRUCKS, AND BASED ON THIS ANALYSIS RECOMMENDS MAINTENANCE AND OTHER PREVENTIVE ACTION WHICH MINIMIZES EQUIPMENT BREAKDOWN. THE SOFTWARE WOULD OPERATE ON A PRIME COMPUTER, AND IT SHOULD INCLUDE EXTENSIVE GRAPHICS CAPABILITIES WHICH WOULD ASSIST IN PROGNOSTIC ANALYSIS. THE SOFT ...

THE OBJECTIVE IS TO CREATE GROUP DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM (GDSS) SOFTWARE WHICH PERMITS ARMY PERSONNEL TO QUICKLY MAKE DECISIONS, EVEN WHEN THE DECISION MAKERS ARE LOCATED AROUND THE WORLD. THE SOFTWARE WOULD OPERATE ON PERSONAL COMPUTERS, SUCH AS THE ZENITH 148, AND BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE ARMY'S WORD-PROCESSORS AND OTHER SOFTWARE. SPECIFIC PHASE I OBJECTIVES WILL BE TO DEFINE AND PROGRAM THE FEATU ...

ANTROPIX CORPORATION PROPOSES TO OBTAIN TIME - RESOLVE OPTICAL PROPERTIES MEASUREMENTS (PLASMA OPACITY IN THE 8 - 12 MICRON SPECTRAL REGION, AS WELL AS STARK BROADENING AND RELATIVE INTENSITY PARAMETERS) ON BROADBAND PLASMA BARRIERS (BPBS) GENERATED BY LASER ACTIVATION OF ALKALI METAL (E.G., NA AND CS) VAPORS. SIMILAR MEASUREMENTS WILL BE COMPLETED ON KNOWN PHASE TRANSITION MATERIALS (PTMS) SUCH A ...

MORE COST EFFECTIVE SYSTEMS ARE NEEDED FOR RECOVERING VOLATILE ORGANIC CONTAMINANTS (VOCS) FROM INDUSTRIAL EXHAUSTGAS. THE PROPOSED APPROACH IS TO COOL THE GAS WELL BELOW THE DEW POINT OF THE VOCS. NORMALLY, ICE AND DIRT FORM ON THE CONDENSING SURFACE, REDUCING THE HEAT TRANSFER RATE, REQUIRING SHUT-DOWN AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE. ENERGY INNOVATION, INC.'S, INNOVATION WILL ELIMINATE THESE REQUIRE ...

SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS OF ARTILLERY PROJECTILE FUZES ARE FORCING A REDUCTION IN SIZE. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO IDENTIFY ALTERNATE PACKAGING APPROACHES (E.G., COD, HERMETIC CHIP CARRIERS, TAB, WAFERSCALE, ETC.) THAT COULD BE USED TO MINIATURIZE FUTURE DESIGNS. SINCE THE ENVIRONMENTAL STRESSES IMPOSED ON THE FUZES IN THE ARTILLERY PROJECTILE APPLICATION ARE EXTREMELY SEVERE, IT WOULD BE USEF ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS EFFORT IS TO DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE SOFTWARE TOOLKIT THAT CAN HELP A SEMICONDUCTOR WAFER FABRICATION FACILITY (WAFER FAB) ACHIEVE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER ASSET UTILIZATION AND THROUGHPUT COMBINED WITH REDUCED WORK-IN-PROGRESS, CYCLE TIMES AND TARDINESS. THE SOFTWARE TOOL WILL BE USED BY DESIGNERS OF FACTORIES TO EXPERIMENT WITH ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS AND SCHEDULING STRATEGIES ...
