A VARIETY OF ELECTRICAL/HYDRAULIC MOTORS, PUMPS, FANS, AND BLOWERS EMPLOYED WITHIN COMBAT VEHICLES IMPOSE UNACCEPTABLE NOISE LEVELS ON CREW MEMBERS. THIS INVESTIGATION ADDRESSES DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF A PROTOTYPE NOISE REDUCTION PROCESSOR SUITABLE FOR LATER IMPLEMENTATION WITHIN A SELF- CONTAINED HEADSET. COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN CREW MEMBERS WOULDBE ACOUSTICALLY COUPLED WITH NOISE REDUCTION ...

THIS PROPOSAL DESCRIBES PROCEDURES FOR MEASUREMENT OF ACTUALLOADS DURING FLIGHT OPERATIONS OF NAVY AIRCRAFT BY ATTACHINGTRANSDUCERS TO SENSITIVE COMPONENTS OF THE NOSE AND MAIN LANDING GEAR. STRAIN GAGES ARE THE ANTICIPATED TRANSDUCERS HOWEVER, INDUCTIVE, CAPACITIVE AND OTHER RESISTIVE TRANSDUCERS SHALL BE EVALUATED FOR USE IN THIS SYSTEM. PROCEDURES ARE OUTLINED TO DETERMINE THE OPTIMUM LOCATIONS ...

N/A

A RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECT IS PROPOSED TO DEVELOP MATERIALS FOR PACKAGING LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAYS (LCDS) USINGPLASTIC SUBSTRATES. THE PLASTIC LCD TECHNOLOGY WILL MEET THE DOD'S NEED OF DISPLAYS RANGING FROM HAND HELD TO BLACKBOARD SIZE. THE KEY TECHNOLOGY IS SELECTION OF PLASTIC SUBSTRATES AND DEVELOPMENT OF A LOW TEMPERATURE DEPOSITION METHOD FOR A TRANSPARENT CONDUCTIVE THIN FILM ON THE ...

N/A

AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO NONDESTRUCTIVE INSPECTION OF LAMINATED COMPOSITE STRUCTURES, BASED ON THE COMPTON INTERACTION TOMOGRAPHIC PROCESSES IS PROPOSED. ACTUAL AS WELL AS SPECIALLY FABRICATED COMPOSITE OBJECTS WILL BE EXPERIMENTALLY TESTED ON A LABORATORY TOMOGRAPHIC SYSTEM. EMPIRICAL DATA BASE OBTAINED, IN CONJUCTION WITH COMPUTER SIMULATION STUDIES, WILL EXTENSIVELY ANALYZED TO DETERMINE PARAM ...

THIS PROPOSAL SHALL BE FOR A STUDY TO PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATION OF THE EXTENDED USE, FEASIBILITY AND ADVATAGES THAT COULD BE REALIZED BY THE USE OF A REMOTE CONTROL\MEDICAL SUPPORT VEHICLE.THE STUDY SHALL RELATE KNOWN AND EXPECTED CONDITIONS AND PARAMETERS WHICH SHOULD LOGICALLY GUIDE A DESIGN\TRADE-OFF PHASE TO PLAUSIBLE CONCLUSIONS OF WHAT SUCH A VEHICLE COULD ACTUALLY PERFORM. THE SUB ...

SUMX CORPORATION HAS DEVELOPED AND DEMONSTRATED CONCEPTUALLY NEW COATINGS FOR CORROSION PROTECTION. THE CORROSION RESISTANCE AFFORDED BY THIS METHOD IS BASED PM ELECTRON TRANSFER BETWEEN THE METAL AND IMMOBILIZED REDOX CENTERS IN THE COATING SO AS TO MAINTAIN THE METAL IN A PASSIVE CONDITION. THIS "PINNING" OF THE SUBSTRATE POTENTIAL MAY PROVIDE PROTECTION AGAINST LOCALIZED, AS WELL AS UNIFORM COR ...

SUMX CORPORATION HAS DEVELOPED A NEW PHOTOELECTROCHROMIC IMAGING SYSTEM EMPLOYING A THIN FILM OF PRUSSIAN BLUE ON SINGLE CRYSTAL AND POLYCRYSTALLINE SEMICONDUCTOR ELECTRODES.THE FABRICATION OF THE ELECTROCHROMIC MATERIAL INVOLVES THE ELECTROCHEMICAL DEPOSITION OF A THIN IMMOBILIZED SURFACE FILM. THESE PRUSSIAN BLUE COATINGS EXHIBIT EXCELLENT REVERSIBILITY, CYCLE STABILITY, COLOR CONTRAST BETWEEN T ...
