A MEMBRANE TYPE WAFER PROBE IS PROPOSED WHICH, AT THE END OF PHASE II, WILL ACHIEVE TRANSMISSION OF SIGNALS FROM TESTER TO DIE WITH LOW ABBRATIONS FOR A 100 PS RISETIME. CAPABILITIES WILL INCLUDE LOW-IMPEDANCE GROUND AND POWER CONTACTS, WITH LSI-LEVEL NUMBERS AND DENSITIES OF SIGNAL LINES. PHASE I WORK WILL DETERMINE THE DESIGN PARAMETERS NECESSARY FOR THESE GOALS THROUGH A SEQUENCE OF CALCULATION ...

THE ACOUSTIC CHARGE TRANSPORT (ACT) DEVICE IS A RELATIVELY NEW COMPONENT, FABRICATED IN MONOLITHIC FORM ON GAAS, THAT OFFERS TREMENDOUS POTENTIAL FOR CURRENT/FUTURE SIGNAL PROCESSING SYSTEMS. BECAUSE OF ITS NEWNESS, LITTLE SYSTEMS APPLICATION WORK HAS BEEN PERFORMED TO-DATE. THE AREAS OF GREATEST POTENTIAL ARE IN RADAR, SONAR, AND PARTICULARLY, ELECTRONIC WARFARE (EW). IN ORDER TO EXPLOIT THIS DEV ...

REMOTELY PILOTED VEHICLES OFFER A WIDE VARIETY OF CAPABILITIES RANGING FROM TACTICAL AND STRATEGIC MISSIONS TO NATIONAL RECONNAISSANCE. ALL THESE MISSIONS SHARE A COMMON NEED, THAT OF HAVING A SENSOR SYSTEM THAT CAN DETECT TARGETS THAT ARE DIM DUE EITHER TO THE "FOG OF WAR" OR TO DELIBERATE ATTEMPTS OF CONCEALMENT. THERE IS ALSO A GROWING NEED TO ACHIEVE LOW OBSERVABILITY FROM A SURVIVABILITY AS W ...

THIS PROPOSAL DESCRIBES A UNIQUE AND HIGHLY SIMPLIFIED IMMUNOLOGICAL PROCEDURE USING A MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY TO CIGUATOXIN IN A TWO-STEP PROCEDURE. THE MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY(MAB) IS PREPARED BY THE MOUSE HYBRIDOMA TECHNIQUE, USING HIGHLY PURIFIED CIGUATOXIN CONJUGATED TO PROTEIN CARRIERS. THE MAB-CTX THUS OBTAINED IS CONJUGATED TO COLLOIDAL GOLD (< 0.45 UM DIAMETER) OR COLORED LATEX PARTICLES. THIS WI ...

THE USE OF MULTI-SPECTRAL SPACE IMAGERY HAS BECOME A VERY POWERFUL MEAN TO PROVIDE GEOLOGICAL PARAMETERS PERTAINING TO ROCK MINEROLOGY, FAULT LIEAMENTS, AND STRUCTURAL CONTACTS ETC, FOR A GIVEN REGION. THESE INFORMATION ARE VERY USEFUL IN COMPLEMENTING DATA OBTAINED THROUGH CONVENTIONAL FIELD MAPPING. ENHANCEMENT OF THE MULTI-SPECTRALSPACE IMAGERY WILL ALSO ALLOW DIRECT VISUAL INTERPRETATION OF CH ...

SPECIAL MILITARY NARROW BEAM ACOUSTIC PROJECTORS AND TRANSMISSION TECHNIQUES CAN BE EASILY ADAPTED FOR COMMERCIAL USE TO ENABLE FISHERMEN OR RESEARCHERS TO DETECT,LOCATE, AND QUANTIFY BIOLOGICAL TARGETS WITH VERY HIGH ACCURACY IN SHALLOW WATER. THE PROPOSED EFFORT WILL PROVIDE A METHOD FOR PRODUCING VERY NARROW ACOUSTIC BEAMS WITH VIRTUALLY NO SIDELOBES FROM A SMALL APERTURE PROJECTOR ARRAY. ALSO ...

A PROOF OF PRINCIPLE EXPERIMENT IS BEING CONSTRUCTED THAT WILL CLEARLYDEMONSTRATE THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF ARRAY OPERATION. AN OSCILLATOR AND TWO AMPLIFIER SECTIONS ARE BEING SUBJECTED TO PERFORMANCE TESTS. PHASE ARRAY OPTICAL RADARS OR LIDARS OPERATING WITH RELATIVELY LARGE SYNTHETIC APERTURES CAN EXHIBIT MANY OF THE SAME RAPID POINTING AND TRACKING FEATURES ASSOCIATED WITH MICROWAVE SYSTEMS, AN ...
