THIS PROPOSAL RESPONDS TO THE NAVY'S NEED FOR NON-PROPRIETARY BONDING SYSTEMS FOR NEOPRENE-TO-METAL VULCANIZED BONDS. THE APPROACH OFFERED IS TO BEGIN WITH THE CHEMLOC 205/220 AND OTHER EXISTING PROPRIETARY AND NON-PROPRIETARY FORMULATIONS, TO ESTABLISH THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CERTAIN MODIFICATIONS THEREOF TO IMPROVE CATHODIC DELAMINATION RESISTANCE. THE MODIFICATIONS PROPOSED INCLUDE ADDITIONSOF REA ...

A PROGRAM IS HEREIN DESCRIBED THAT WILL ESTABLISH THE POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENTS IN EXISTING RESTRAINT SYSTEMS AND THROUGH A CONCEPTUAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL TRADEOFF PHASE, ESTABLISH FEASIBILITY OF AT LEAST ONE CONCEPT THAT WILL REPRESENT A QUANTUM STEP IN THE PERFORMANCE OF CREW RESTRAINT SYSTEMS. THE PROGRAM CONSISTS OF CONCEPT TRADEOFF, OPERATIONAL AND STATIC AND DYNAMIC TESTING, AND SELECTION OF A CON ...

DEVELOPMENT IS PROPOSED OF A SMALL, SELF-CONTAINED POWER UNIT CAPABLE OF OPERATING UNATTENDED FOR LONG PERIODS WITH GREAT RELIABILITY. THE UNIT IS INTENDED FOR INCORPORATED AS THE STORAGE BATTERY TRICKLE CHARGER IN A DATA GATHERING AND COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM FOR THE ARCTIC AND OTHER REMOTE ISOLATED AREAS. THE ENERGY SOURCES ANTICIPATED FOR THE POWERUNIT INCLUDE NUCLEAR (RADIOISOTOPE) AND CHEMICAL ( ...

WE WISH TO EXPLORE A NEW METHOD FOR PRODUCING VERY HARD DIAMOND-LIKE COATINGS ON OPTICAL COMPONENTS. TO DO THIS, WE WILL USE AN APPARATUS THAT ACCELERATES CARBON IONS FROM A CARBON ARCH OPERATING IN VACUUM. THIS METHOD HAS SEVERAL ADVANTAGES: LARGE QUANTITIES OF IONS CAN BE PRODUCED, SO COATINGS CAN BE MADE RAPIDLY. THE IONS' QUANTITY AND ENERGY, AND THUS THE PROPERTIES OF THE COATINGS RESULTING F ...

THIS PROPOSAL DESCRIBES A RESEARCH PROGRAM TO DEVELOP FAST ALGORITHMS FOR REAL-TIME ESTIMATION, PREDICTION AND CONTROL. SUCH ALGORITHMS WOULD PROVIDE A SOLUTION TO A CRITICAL PROBLEM FACED IN BOTH INDUSTRIAL AND MILITARY APPLICATIONS - - THE FACT THAT THE ALGORITHMS USED TO IMPLEMENT STATE-OF-THE-ART STATISTICAL ESTIMATION, PREDICTION AND CONTROL TECHNIQUES ARE FAR TOO SLOW FOR MANY REAL-TIME OR N ...

SUMX HAS DEMONSTRATED CONCEPTUALLY NEW COATINGS FOR CORROSION PROTECTION WHICH MAINTAIN METALS IN A PASSIVE CONDITION DUE TO ELECTRON TRANSFER BETWEEN METALS AND IMMOBILIZED REDOX CENTERS IN COATINGS. "PINNING" OF SUBSTRATE POTENTIAL PROTECT ELECTROCHEMICALLY THE REDOX COUPLES IN THE COATINGS, THEY ARE MORE EFFECTIVE THAN CONVENTIONAL COATING INHIBITORS IN USING ADSORPTION. SUMX COATING HAVE AN EN ...
