FEASIBILITY IS EXAMINED FOR A HAND-HELD INSTRUMENT TO MEASURE THRUST FORCE AND JOINT MOTION DURING SPINAL MANIPULATION AND REHABILITATION OF PATIENTS WITH NEUROMUSCULAR APPLICATION TO THE HEALTH FIELD: PROVIDE NONINVASIVE MONITORING AND CONTROL OF FORCES APPLIED DURING PHYSICAL REHABILITATION PROCEDURES FOR THE BACK. THIS INSTRUMENTATION IS EXPECTED TO PROMOTE PATIENT SAFETY, ESPECIALLY THOSE AT R ...

A NEW APPARATUS PROVIDING THE ABILITY TO MEASURE THE BLOOD PRESSURE OF ASTRONAUTS WITHOUT ENCUMBERING THEIR MOVEMENTS IS DESCRIBED. IT USESX A NOVEL BILATERAL PIEZOELECTRIC ARRAY/MICROPROCESSOR SYSTEM (PAAPMS) WHICH MEASURES THE BLOOD PRESSURE AT THE SUPERFICIAL TEMPORAL ARTERY. BLOOD FLOW COMPUTER BASED MODELING OF CIRCULATION FROM THE HEART TO THE TEMPLE DEVELOPED BY AN AFFILIATE COMPANY UNDER A ...

THE AIM OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS TO INVESTIGATE THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A MICROCOMPUTER-BASED EXPERT SYSTEM TO ASSIST SCIENTISTS IN SELECTING, PERFORMING, INTERPRETING, AND REPORTING STATISTICAL PROCEDURES. OFTEN RESEARCHERS IN THE HEALTH SCIENCES ARE HIGHLY COMPETENT IN THEIR SPECIFIC AREAS OF EXPERTISE BUT INADEQUATELY TRAINED IN CHOOSING AND INTERPRETING THE STATISTICS THAT ARE APPROPRI ...

THE GROWTH OF GAAS ON SILICON HAS LONG BEEN RECOGNIZED AS A DESIRABLE APPROACH FOR ADVANCE OPTOELECTRONIC DEVICES INCLUDING OPTICAL INTEGRATED CIRCUITS, OPTICAL COMMUNICATIONBETWEEN CIRCUITS AND AS A SOURCE OF LOW-COST GAAS LAYERS FORSOLAR CELL AND DISPLAY APPLICATIONS. PROGRESS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY STRAINS AND DISLOCATIONS INTRODUCED INTO THE GAAS LAYER BY TH ...

AT THE HEART OF ANY WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM FOR THE MANNED SPACE STATION IS THE TREATMENT SUBSYSTEM FOR URINE AND CONCENTRATED WASTEWATER. CURRENT SUBSYSTEMS UNDER DEVELOPMENT BY NASA ARE ALL BASED ON PHASE-CHANGE PROCESSES.WE PROPOSE A TWO-PRONGED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EFFORT TO PROVIDE NASA WITH IMPROVED OPTIONS FOR THESE SUBSYSTEMS. THE FIRST APPROACH WILL BE TO DEVELOP A MEMBRANE-BASED ...
