MEASUREMENT OF VELOCITY FIELDS AND FLOW RATES IS OF PRIME IMPORTANCE IN MANY AREAS OF INDUSTRY AND FLUID DYNAMICS RESEARCH. THE RESEARCH PROPOSED HEREIN WOULD RESULT IN A NONINTRUSIVE MEANS OF DETERMINING THE MAGNITUDE AND DIRECTION OF VELOCITY AND THE CORRESPONDING FLOW RATES BY THE USE OF LASER TOMOGRAPHY. LASER TOMOGRAPHY MAKES USE OF THE FACT THAT, FOR PROPERLY TUNED LASERS, THE DECAY OF LASER ...

THE PROPOSED CONCEPT IS A REFLECTOR-EXPENDABLE CONCEPT DE- SIGNED TO PROVIDE FALSE TARGETS INTO THREAT FIRE CONTROL FUSE, DRAW FIRE AND ULTIMATELY SAVE ARMY AIRCRAFT AND IN TURN ENHANCE MISSION SUCESS. THIS PHASE I EFFORT IS CONCERNED WITH IDENTIFYING PRELIMINARY FEASABILITY OF THE BASIC CONCEPT ANALYTICALLY, AND TO PERFORM SUFFICIENT ANALYSIS TO ESTABLISH DESIGN REQUIREMENTS FOR A PHSE II MODEL D ...

A PROGRAM IS PROPOSED TO GENERATE FEASIBILITY INFORMATION ON THE POSSIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A COATING SYSTEM WHICH HAS THE CHARACTERISTICS OF BEING HIGH TEMPERATURE WEAR RESISTANT AND SELF LUBRICATING. THE PROPOSED PROGRAM INVOLVES DEPOSITING LAYERS OF FE-CR-AL-Y ONTO CAST IRON. A COMPUTER SYSTEM WILL ALLOW GRADING THE FE-CR-AL-Y SYSTEM INTO A YTTRIA STABALIZED ZIRCONIA LAYER. FINALLY, SEVERAL DIFF ...

WITH RECENT ADVANCES IN ROBOTICS AND THE CONTINUING DEVELOPMENT OF MICROPROCESSOR-CONTROLLED SERVO-MECHANISMS, TELEOPERATED SYSTEMS ARE BECOMING INCREASINGLY FEASIBLE FOR APPLICATIONS IN OUTER SPACE. ONE OF THE MORE ADVANCED INTERFACE DEVICES EMPLOYED FOR EFFECTIVE TELEOPERATOR CONTROL IS A 3-D IMAGING AND VIEWING SYSTEM WHICH PROJECTS SLIGHTLY DISPARATE VIDEO IMAGES WITH DEPTH CUES TO AN OPERATOR ...
