THE TIME REQUIRED FOR CLEANING, DEHUMIDIFYING AND PURGING OFCARGO HOLDS HAS A DIRECT EFFECT ON THE TURN AROUND TIME OF VESSELS CARRYING MOISTURE SENSITIVE GOODS IN PORT. THIS PROPROJECT WILL THOROUGHLY RESEARCH THE REQUIREMENTS FOR DEHUMIDIFICATION, DEVELOP DESIGN CRITERIA, DESIGN CRITERIA , DESIGN A REFRIGERANT TYPE DEHUMIDIFIER, CONSTRUCT A PROTO TYPE, AND TEST THE EQUIPMENT IN THE FIELD. PARTIC ...

TAC PROPOSES TO STUDY THE FEASIBILITY OF DETECTION AND LOCALIZING OIL DRUM SIZE OBJECTS ON/IN THE BOTTOM OF SURF ZONES. THE APPROACH IS TO ANALYZE THE PERFORMANCE PROBABILITIES AND DESIGN FEASIBILITY OF LOW FREQUENCY (20 TO 500 HZ) ACTIVE ELECTROMAGNETIC DESIGNS IN A TOWABLE, SUBMERGED HYDROFOIL CONFIGURATION. DETECTION SYSTEMS WOULD BE SUPPLEMENTED FOR LOCALIZATION BY EITHER NAVIGATIONAL FIX METH ...

N/A

FEASIBILITY STUDY TO DETERMINE THE POTENTIAL OF UTILIZATION OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS, CELLULAR PHONE AND ELECTRONIC TRANSFER TECHNOLOGIES TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE AND IN SOME CASES ELIMINATE THE SHRINKAGE OF COLLECTED TRANSIT REVENUE THROUGH EMPLOYEE MIS-HANDLING, EMPLOYEE FRAUD, EMPLOYEE THEFT. THIS STUDY WILL FOCUS ON THE FEASIBILITY OF IMPLEMENTING T THE ELECTRONIC/MICRO PROCESSOR BASED COLLECTION ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED RESEARCH IS TO ESTABLISH THE FEASIBILITY OF USING INTELLIGENCE GLEANED FROM THE ELECTRICAL ARC SIGNALS OF THE SUBMERGED ARC WELDING PROCESS TO ADAPTIVELY CONTROL THE POSITION AND GEOMETRY OF THE WELD BEAD RELATIVE TO THE WELD JOINT. BY SO DOING, IT WILL BE ESTABLISHED THAT PROPER SIDEWALL AND INTERBEAD FUSION AND UNIFORM FILL CAN BE ADAPTIVELY MAINTAINED IN REAL-TIME. ...

THE PROPOSED PROGRAM IS DIRECTED TOWARDS EVALUATING THE TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY OF APPLYING SOLID POLYMER ELECTROLYTES (SPE) IN NOVEL ALL SOLID-STATE PHOTOELECTROCHEMICAL STORAGE CELLS. THE UNIQUENESS OF THIS APPROACH LIES IN THE USE OF PHOTOCATHODES WHICH WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO NOT ONLY GENERATE REDUCED REDOX SPECIES, AT THEIR INTERFACE WITH THE SOLID ELECTROLYTE, BUT ALSO WILL STORE SUCH SPECI ...

COLLISION AVOIDANCE TECHNIQUE USED BY THE MAJOR RAILROADS OF THE US STILL RELY ON THE ALERTNESS OF THE LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER TO SEE AND RESPOND TO WARNING SIGNALS DISPLAYED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND ALONG THE RIGHT-OF-WAY. SO LONG AS THE ENGINEER REMAINS ALERT, THE SYSTEM WORKS WELL, BUT WHEN THE ENGINEER IS NOT QUICK TO PERCEIVE AND REACT TO DANDER SIGNALS, THE SYSTEM FAILS. MAINTAINING ENGINEE ...

IMI-TECH CORPORATION PROPOSES TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF MEETING THE NAVY'S NEED FOR A POURED-IN-PLACE, LIGHTWEIGHT FLOTATION FOAM THAT WILL NOT SUSTAIN COMBUSTION, DOES NOT RELEASE HAZARDOUS AMOUNTS OF TOXIC GASES WHEN EXPOSED TO FLAMES, AND HAS LOW WATER ABSORPTION. THE TECHNOLOGY TO MEET THIS REQUIREMENT, WITHOUT THE USE OF TOXIC GAS-PRODUCING FLAME RETARDANTS, EXISTS AT IMI-TECH TODAY. TH ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED HERE IS THE DEFINITION AND DESIGN OF A SIMULATION MODELING SYSTEM CAPABLE OF 1) REPRESENTING ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS OVER A RANGE OF RESOLUTION FROM CHIPS TO DEVICES AND 2) INTEGRATING VALIDATION AND VERIFICATION OF BOTH FUNCTIONALITY AND PERFORMANCE. THE DESIGN OF THIS MODELING SYSTEM WILL BE FOUNDED UPON PRINCIPLES THAT HAVE BEEN FOUND TO BE EFFE ...

THE LONG TERM OBJECTIVE OF THIS LINE OF INVESTIGATION IS TO DEVELOP A NEW CLASS OF ANTIVIRALS WHICH ARE EFFECTIVE AGAINST A WIDE VARIETY OF INFECTIONS, ARE SAFE FOR HUMAN USE, ECONOMICAL TO PRODUCE AND ENHANCE RESISTANCE TO OR RECOVERY FROM VIRAL INFECTIOUS AGENTS. THE AGENTS MAY HAVE APPLICATION IN CONJUNCTION WITH KNOWN IMMUNOPOTENTIATORS RECENT EXPERIMENTAL DATA INDICATE THAT A VARIETY OF COMMO ...
