THE OBJECT OF THE PROPOSED PROGRAM IS TO DEMONSTRATE FEASIBILITY OF DESIGNING HIGH EFFICIENCY TRANSFORMERS OF LOW MECHANICAL PROFILE FOR HIGH FREQUENCY POWER CONVERSION APPLICATIONS. THE PROGRAM WILL BE DIRECTED TOWARD GAINING INSIGHT INTO THE DOMINANT LOSS MECHANISMS OF THE WINDING AND CORE STRUCTURES AT HIGH FREQUENCIES. NEW APPROACHES FOR TRANSFORMER CONSTRUCTION, SUCH AS THE USE OF LAMINATED F ...

MULTISPECTRUM GUIDANCE SYSTEMS ARE BEING DEVELOPED WHICH CONTAIN EXTREMELY SMALL, NON-SPHERICAL OPTICAL COMPONENTS FOR LONG WAVELENGTH IR SEEKERS. THE NAVY REQUIRES A NONCONTACT METHOD OF TESTING THESE PARTS FOR CONFORMANCE TO SPECIFICATIONS PRIOR TO THEIR ASSEMBLY INTO THE SYSTEM. APA OPTICS PROPOSES TO DEVELOP AN OPTICAL INTERFEROMETER WHICH WILL USE LOW COST COMPUTER GENERATED HOLOGRAMS (CGH) A ...

WE PROPOSE A UNIQUE ELECTRO-OPTIC LWIR BEAM SCANNING DEVICE. THIS ALXGA1-XN PLANAR WAVEGUIDE BASED ELECTRO-OPTIC DEVICE CAN BE USED EITHER IN A SCANNER OR A RECEIVER CONFIGURATION. IT HAS THE POTENTIAL OF LARGE FIELD OF VIEW (20 DEGREES), FAST RANDOM ACCESS AND LOW POWER OPERATION. THE DEVICE IS BASED ON A UNIQUE COMBINATION OF ELECTRO-OPTIC BRAGG DIFFRACTION GRATING THAT ARE FABRICATED OVER PLANA ...

IN THIS PROPOSAL WE DISCUSS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A BLUE (POTENTIALLY GREEN AND OTHER WAVELENGTHS ALSO) SOLID STATE LASER BASED ON PN-JUNCTION HETEROSTRUCTURES IN THE AIXGA1-XN MATERIAL SYSTEM. THESE AIXGA1-XN BASED LASERS WILL BE IDEAL FOR USES IN OPTICAL RECORDING, COMMUNICATION AND LARGE SCREEN DISPLAY SYSTEMS. ESSENTIALLY ALL APPLICATIONS CURRENTLY BEING ADDRESSED BY ARGON-ION LASERS WILL BE IMPA ...

THE KEY PROBLEM TO BE ADDRESSED IN PHASE I OF THIS PROJECT WILL BE TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF A NOVEL POSITION MEASURING SYSTEM FOR A FAMILY OF COMPUTER CONTROLLED MACHINE TOOLS. THE MULTIPLE LASER MEASUREMENT SYSTEM (MLMS), WHICH FORMS THE BASIS OF THIS PROPOSAL, WILL MEASURE THE (X, Y, Z) POSITION OF THE CUTTING HEAD DIRECTLY AT RATES AND ACCURACIES SUFFICIENT FOR CLOSED LOOP POSITION CONTR ...

A PROJECT IS PROPOSED TO DEVELOP A BIOSENSOR FOR MEASURING PATHOGENIC MICROORGANISMS IN WATER BY MEASURING CHANGES IN CONDUCTANCE ACROSS MICROPOROUS, POLYCARBONATE MEMBRANE COATE WITH SPECIFIC ANTIBODIES. THE MEMBRANES WILL BE COATED WITH HYDROPHILIC POLYMERS USING PHOTOCHEMICAL COUPLING. ANTIBODIES SPECIFIC FOR THE ANALYTE WILL THEN BE COUPLED TO THE POLYMER-COATED MEMBRANES PRIMARILY IN THE PORE ...
