INNOVATIVE APPROACHES ARE DESCRIBED IN THIS PROPOSAL FOR SUPPRESSING FREQUENCY MODULATION ON A SINUSOIDAL CARRIER. PARTICULAR EMPHASIS IS DIRECTED TO THE SUPPRESSION OF IDENTIFIABLE COMPONENTS OF A COMPOSITE MODULATION PROCESS FOR THE PURPOSE OF RETAINING, FOR SEPARATE MEASUREMENT, ANY FORM OF RANGE-RATE DOPPLER SHIFT/MODULATION PRESENT. THE PROPOSED EFFORT WILL CONSIST OF AN ANALYTICAL STUDY FOR ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO EVALUATE THE FEASIBILITY OF GROWTH OR FUSION OF OPTOELECTRONIC DEVICES DIRECTLY ONTO THE OPTICAL FIBER. THIS APPROACH WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPLICATION AND BENEFITS ON FUTURE FIBER OPTIC COMMUNICATIONS. TO ACHIEVE THE OBJECTIVE, A COMPLETE LITERATURE SEARCH RELATED TO THE TOPIC WILL BE COMPILED. A THEORETICAL ANALYSIS ON ALL POSSIBLE DESIGNS WILL BE INVESTIGATED ...

THE WASTE HEAT EXCHANGER IS OFTEN THE LARGEST SINGLE COMPONENT IN DIESEL-EXHAUST POWERED AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS, AND ON ACCOUNT OF ITS HIGH MATERIAL CONTENT, IS OFTEN THE HEAVIEST AND MOST COSTLY AS WELL. THE NEED EXISTS FOR A HEAT EXCHANGER DESIGN AND FABRICATION TECHNIQUE WHICH IS COMPACT AND LIGHTWEIGHT, RESISTS FOULING FROM EXHAUST GASES, IS EASILY CLEANED, USES INEXPENSIVE MATERIALS, AND IS ...

A KEY REQUIREMENT FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE NEW, TACTICAL RADIATION DOSIMETRY INSTRUMENTATION NOW BEING DEVELOPED BY THE ARMY IS TO HAVE AN ENERGY COMPENSATED, SOLID STATE GAMMA RAY SENSOR. ATTEMPS TO USE TRADITIONAL FILTERING TECHNIQUES TO ACHIEVE A FLAT ENERGY RESPONSE HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL AND A NEW APPROACH IS REQUIRED. WE PROPOSE TO UTILIZE RECENTLY AVAILABLE, INEXPENSIVE DIGITAL MICROCHIPS T ...

THE RECENT DISCOVERY OF SUPERCONDUCTIVITY AT HIGH TEMPERATURE (90 DEG K) IN COPPER CONTAINING CERAMICS HAS RESULTED IN A RAPID ACCELERATION IN SUPERCONDUCTOR RESEARCH. PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES ARE BEING EXAMINED FOR THE FABRICATION OF BULK AND THIN FILM SAMPLES. THE CURRENTLY USED PROCESSES FOR MAKING THIN FILMS OF SUPERCONDUCTORS ARE PRIMARILY LIMITED TO EXPENSIVE, SMALL SCALE, LABORATORY TECHNIQUES ...

THE WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE GAMMA RAY FACILITY IS USED TO QUALIFY MILITARY EQUIPMENT FOR RADIATION HARDNESS. ISOTOPIC SOURCES OF 60 CO AND 137 CS ARE USED TO PRODUCE INTENSE GAMMA RAY FIELDS THAT ALLOW TESTING OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS IN ENVIRONMENTS THAT APPROXIMATE ANTICIPATED NUCLEAR BATTLEFIELD CONDITIONS. RECENTLY IT HAS BECOME CLEAR THAT DOSE ENHANCEMENT EFFECTS PRODUCED BY A LOW ENERGY COMPO ...

THIS WORK WILL DEVELOP A PROCEDURE FOR THE ACOE TO ANIMATE THE OUTPUT DATA FROM VARIOUS FINITE ELEMENT/DIFFERENCE CODES WITH STATE-OF-THEART COLOR COMPUTER GRAPHIC ANIMATION TECHNIQUES. PART OF THIS EFFORT WILL BE THE CREATION OF A MOTION PICTURE (MOVIE) OF AN ACTUAL DYNAMIC FINITE ELEMENT CALCULATION. THE SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS WILL BE ADDRESSED ALONG WITH THE INVESTIGATION OF THE USE ...

THE OBJECTIVE IS TO INCREASE THE CAPACITY AND SAFETY OF THE LITHIUM/ LIALCL4.6SO2/CARBON RECHARGEABLE CELL BY ALTERING THE ELECTROLYTE AND THE POSITIVE ELECTRODE, AND BY IMPROVING THE METHODS CURRENTLY EMPLOYED FOR MAKING THE ELECTROLYTE. ALUMINUM IS REMOVED AS DISCHARGE PROCEEDS, SINCE ONE OF THE PRODUCTS IS AN INSOLUBLE COMPLEX BETWEEN THE ALUMINUM, REDUCED SO2, AND THE CARBON SURFACE. THE DILEM ...

THE DIFFICULTY IN DIAGNOSIS OF MICROBIAL INFECTIONS IS DUE TO THE WIDE VARIETY OF MICRO-ORGANISMS WHICH INFECT MAN, AND TO THE VARIATION IN HOST RESPONSE TO SUCH INFECTIONS. IN CASES WHERE ANTIBODIES ARE RAPIDLY PRODUCED AND SUSTAINED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, DIAGNOSIS BASED ON THESE ANTIBODIES IS USEFUL. HOWEVER, LEVELS OF ANTIBODY MAY VARY DRASTICALLY BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS AND MAY BE PRESENT IN ...
