A TOTALLY NEW APPROACH TO HIGH QUALITY FLICKER-FREE IR MOVIE PROJECTION INVOLVING GRATING ENCODED REFLECTIVE IMAGES ON FILM IS DESCRIBED. THIS APPROACH IS DEMONSTRATED AND CAPABLE OF MEETING EACH OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF TOPIC NO. 29 AS WELL AS GIVING NATURAL (NOT "MONOCHROME") SPECTRAL SHAPES, EXTREMELY LARGE DYNAMIC RANGE, INDEPENDENT CONTROL OF DIFFERENT SCENE AREAS, AND READY EXTENSION TO CONCUR ...

OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND NAVY PERSONNEL AS WELL AS A LARGE NUMBER OF MILITARY AND CIVILIAN WORKERS ARE NOW REQUIRED TO WEAR NUCLEAR RADIATION DOSIMETERS. ALTHOUGH MUCH OF THE POTENTIAL EXPOSURE IS FROM NEUTRONS, PRESENTLY NO SMALL ELECTRONIC NEUTRON DOSIMETER EXISTS AND ONLY PASSIVE DEVICES ARE AVAILABLE. THIS LEADS NOT ONLY TO EXCESS SHIELDING REQUIREMENTS AND INEFFICIENT USE OF PERSONNEL, BUT ALS ...

N/A

NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING RESEARCH HAS BEEN PRIMARILY CONCEREND WITH DEFECT DETECTION AND CHARACTERIZATION WITH RELATIVELY LITTLE EFFORT ON NDT TECHIQUES FOR MEASURING STRESS, PREDICTING FATIGUE DAMAGE PRIOR TO CRACKING AND MONITORING OF CRACK PROPAGATION IN CRITICAL AIRCRAFT COMPONENTS. THESE PROBLEMS ARE OF SIGNIFICANCE TO THE AIRCRAFT INDUSTRY AND TO THE NAVY BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL FAILURE DUE ...

FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRIES REQUIRE MICROBIAL AND METABOLITE DATA FOR INGREDIENT CONTROL AND PRODUCT OPTIMIZATION. CURRENT MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES DO NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT SPEED OF RESPONSE TO PERMIT THEIR USE IN ON-LINE PRODUCT DIAGNOSIS AND CONTROL. TO ALLEVIATE THIS SITUATION THE PRESENT PROPOSAL SUGGESTS THE APPLICATION OF LASER TECHNOLOGY TO THE MONITORING AND QUALITY CONTROL OF MICROBIAL POPU ...

N/A

AN ACCURATE, HIGH SPEED, LOW COST, HELMET MOUNTED EYE POSITION MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENT IS REQUIRED. APPLIED SCIENCE LABORATORIES (ASL) PROPOSES TO DEMONSTRATE THE FEASIBILITY OF A DUAL PATH, SOLID STATE LIGHT POSITION DETECTOR SCHEME BY BUILDING A LABORATORY BENCH TOP MODEL. TWO COORDINATES ON THE EYE THAT MOVE DIFFERENTIALLY WITH ROTATION WILL BE MEASURED. THIS WILL COMPENSATE FOR RELATIVE MOTION ...

A BROADBAND HIGH-FREQUENCY ANTENNA STRUCTURE FOR THE TACAMO AIRFRAME WAS STUDIED. THE STRUCTURES STUDIED WOULD NOT DEGRADE AERODYNAMIC PERFORMANCE AND WOULD ALLOW MULTIPLE TRANSMITTER OPERATION OVER THE FULL 2 TO 30 MHZ BAND. EVALUATION FACTORS WERE EFFICIENCY, BANDWIDTH, MINIMUM LOSSES, LOW RESISTANCE, AND MINIMUM CHANGES TO THE AIRCRAFT. INCLUDED IN THE STUDY WERE LONG WIRE, EMBEDDED, DIEELECTRI ...
