Internal combustion engine powered vehicles not only consume a major part of the worlds petroleum resources but also are responsible for severe air pollution. Near Zero emission electricity powered vehicles EV), hybridized electric vehicle HEV) and more recently plug-in hybridized electric vehicle PHEV) seem to be promising alternatives. However, up to date, the lack of suitable batteries and exce ...

65702 A continuous wave cryogenic photocathode electron gun operating in the L-band is the preferred approach for a wide variety of next generation and advanced electron accelerators and light sources. The high average current required for these applications results in average power densities that are much higher than in previous electron guns due to the continuous wave operation. In addition, ...

Proposed designs for a Future Circular Collider (FCC) to collide protons with a center-of-mass energy of 100 TeV call for dipoles with fields up to 20 Tesla (T). This is significantly beyond the present technology and requires using High Temperature Superconductors (HTS). The recent Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5), organized by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), strongly supp ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECT IS TO INVESTIGATE COST EFFECTIVE (LOW COST/HIGH PERFORMANCE) PRODUCTS AND APPLICATIONS DESIGNED TO INTERFACE WITH A PERSONAL COMPUTER, WHICH WILL VOCALIZE UPON A GIVEN COMMAND WORDS OR PROCESSES WHICH HAVE BEEN STORED IN THE COMPUTER'S MEMORY OR ARE DISPLAYED ON THE COMPUTER MONITOR. THE PRODUCT GOAL IS THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A PRINT ...

Phase I of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project was conducted under Department of Energy's (DOE) Advanced Technologies for Nuclear Energy (NE) topic 19(b), entitled Advanced Technologies for the Fabrication, Characterization of Nuclear Reactor Fuel. Phase II preserves the two-pronged vision and goals outlined in Phase I. First, this project seeks to provide a technological a ...

PLASMA SPRAY DEPOSITION TECHNOLOGY CAN BE USED TO PROCESS COATINGS AND FREE-STANDING FORMS OF HIGH TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTING OXIDES. WHILE THIS VERSATILE TECHNIQUE HOLDS HIGH POTENTIAL, IT NONETHELESS HAS DEFICIENCIES, SINCETHE COATING AS SPRAYED DOES NOT DISPLAY A SUPERCONDUCTING TRANSITION BUT, RATHER, MUST BE SUBJECTED TO A RELATIVELY HIGH TEMPERATURE ANNEAL TO REPLACE THE OXYGEN THAT WAS LOS ...

SYMBOLIC COMPUTATION (ESPECIALLY LOGIC PROGRAMMING) WILL PLAY AN INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT ROLE IN BOTH EXPERIMENTAL ANDTHEORETICAL PHYSICS. LOGIC PROGRAMS ARE ALSO IMPORTANT IN THEIR APPLICATION TO EXPERT SYSTEMS, WHICH ARE IN INCREASINGUSE BY THE UTILITY INDUSTRY. AS THESE EXPERT SYSTEMS BECOME MORE COMPLEX, AND AS THEY ARE USED IN TIME-CRITICAL APPLICATIONS, THEIR COMPUTATIONAL REQUIREMENTS OUTSTR ...

60693 This project will build and characterize a high current, high brightness Heavy Negative Ion Surface Plasma Source, for use in nuclear physics research, with geometry and other source parameters optimized for production of intense mA range beams and without unwanted contamination. The source will be capable of producing beams in the range from boron to uranium. In Phase I, compute ...
