TRANSPORTING THEM TO KODIAK AND REMOTE SITE FOR SHIPMENT TO SEATTLE AND STILL MAINTAIN ENOUGH SHELF LIFE FOR WHOLESALERS AND RETAILERS TO SELL THE PRODUCT IS DIFFICULT. QUESTION: CAN THE SHELF LIFE BE EXTENDED WITH PROCED ...

THE GROWTH OF DEVICE QUALITY, LARGE AREA GAAS EPITAXIAL LAYERS ON SILICON SUBSTRATES IS RECOGNIZED AS AN IMPORTANT TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT. THE QUALITY OF HETEROEPITAXIAL LAYERS OF GAAS ON SILICON ARE LIMITED BY GAAS-SI LATTICE MISMATCH AND THERMAL COEFFICIENT MISMATCH. THE DEFECT DENSITY OF THE GAAS EPILAYER IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE INTERFACE AREA. OUR LABORATORIES HAVE DEMONSTRATED A VIABLE ...

PHASE I OF THIS PROJECT AIMS TO DEVE ...

THIS PROJECT WILL ANALYZE AND PREPARE THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN FOR A DIGITAL FEEDWATER CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A COMMERCIAL LIGHT WATER REACTOR POWERPLANT. THE CONTROL SYSTEM WILL FEATURE SENSOR VALIDATION AND REPLACEMENT OF FAILED SENSORS WITH SYNTHETIC VARIABLES. AN ADVANCED TECHNIQUE BASED ON PATTERN-RECOGNITION ALGORITHMS ALREADY PROVEN IN SURVEILLANCE APPLICATIONS WILL BE USED TO VALIDATE SENSOR INPU ...
