ACX proposes an innovative new process for the manufacture of smart structures using a High Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF) thermal spray process. This simple, multi-step process will be capable of depositing electroded piezoceramic coatings. The coatings will be poled while still hot, reducing poling times and voltages while increasing poling efficiency. Process times will be extremely short. The pr ...

RESEARCH ON SEPARATION AND RECOVERY OF ACTIVATED CARBON FROMFLYASH, TOGETHER WITH RECOVERY OF AN ASTM-APPROVED CEMENT SUBSTITUTE USING ADVANCED ENERGY DYNAMICS' STATE-OF-THE-ART ELECTROSTATIC SEPARATION PROCESS IS PROPOSED. THIS PROCESS USES THE DIFFERENCES IN WORK FUNCTIONS OF PARTICLES OF DIVERSE COMPOSITION TO EFFECT A SEPARATION OF PROCESSED MATERIAL. IT HAS THE POTENTIAL OF TRANSFORMING FLYAS ...

The Defense Modeling and Simulation Office (DMSO) has developed the High Level Architecture (HLA) as one of the principle components of a DoD-wide Common Technical Framework for modeling and simulation (M&S). Unlike previous distributed simulation technologies such as DIS and SIMNET, HLA provides federation developers, via the Object Model Template (OMT), the means to define the structure and for ...

CLEAN SOURCES OF ATOMIC CHLORINE ARE REQUIRED FOR MECHANISTIC STUDIES OF SEMICONDUCTOR ETCHING PROCESSES. IN THIS PROPOSAL, AERODYNE RESEARCH, INC. DESCRIBES MODIFICATIONS TO AN EXISTING ULTRAHIGH VACUUM COMPATIBLE, EFFUSIVE BEAM, MICROWAVE DISCHARGE FLUORINE ATOM SOURCE WHICH WOULD ALLOW ITS USE AS A SOURCE OF CHLORINE ATOMS, AND THEY DEFINE MEASUREMENTS TO CHARACTERIZE AND DEMONSTRATE ITS OPERAT ...

THE PURPOSE OF THE PROPOSED STUDY IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF INSTRUMENTATION TO MEASURE FLUXES OF ATMOSPHERIC TRACE GASES TO OR FROM THE EARTH'S SURFACE. THE METHOD WE PROPOSEIS BASED ON THE WELL ESTABLISHED EDDY CORRELATION TECHNIQUE AND WOULD USE A TUNABLE DIODE LASER LIGHT SOURCE COMBINED WITH A MULTIPLE PASS ABSORPTION CELL TO DETECT TRACE SPECIES AT SUB-PART-PER-BILLION LEVELS. THE PROPOSED INSTRU ...

THALLIUM BROMIDE (T1BR) IS A NEW CUBIC SEMICONDUCTOR. THE HIGH ATOMIC NUMBERS OF ITS CONSTITUENT ELEMENTS GIVES IT EXTRAORDINARY PHOTOELECTRIC ABSORPTION EFFICIENCY FOR GAMMA PHOTONS, WHILE ITS 2.5 EV BANDGAP PROMISES PERFORMANCE AT TEMPERATURES UP TO 250XC. IT HAS SHOWN SOME PROMISE AS AHIGH EFFICIENCY SOLID-STATE DETECTOR, BUT EARLY DEVICES WERELIMITED BY MATERIAL IMPURITIES AND IMPERFECTIONS. I ...
