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 ...

CONVENTIONAL REMOTE MANIPULATOR END-EFFECTOR TECHNIQUES ARE NOT SATIFYING THE CURRENT NEED FOR SMALLER, SIMPLER, MORE EFFICIENT MICRMANIPULATOR SYSTEMS. THERE IS CLEARLY A NEED FOR AN ENTIRELY DIIFERENT APPROACH TO GENERATING AND CONTROLLING MECHANICAL MOTION AT MILLIMETER AND SUB-MILLIMETER LEVELS. ONE SUCH APPROACH, SUGGESTED IN THIS PROPOSAL, TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE PIEZOELECTRIC PROPERTIES OF C ...

OZONE PRODUCTION FOR WAST WATER TREATMENT HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY RESTRICTED DUE TO THE LOW POWER EFFICIENTLY AND INSTABILITY OF ELECTROCATALYST. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED RESEARCH EFFORT IS THE IDENTIFICATION OF AN ENERGY EFFICIENT AND DURABLE ELECTROCATALYST FOR OZONE GENERATION. THE EXPLORATORY EFFORT WILL FOCUS ON IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL CATALYST AND PARAMETRIC DETERMINATION OF THE PHYS ...

A NEW TYPE NOISE REDUCTION TECHNIQUE (1) HAS OPENED THE OPPORTUNITY TO DETECT BOTH A SIGNAL WITH NEGATIVE SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO AND RANDOM SIGNAL ON A LINE. THE IMPORTANT ADVANTAGE OF THIS TECHNIQUE OVER EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT NOISE AS WELL AS AN INTERNAL BACKROUND NOISE. IT PROVIDES A REAL TIME DETECTION AT A WIDE FREQUENCY RANGE, THIS VERY EFFICENT AND INEXPENSIVE APPROACH TO IMPROVE THE SNR BY TH ...

THE APPLICATION OF SPECTRAL METHODS TO THE SOLUTION OF HIGHLY-VARIABLE-COEFFICIENT DIFFUSION PROBLEMS IS STUDIED FOR APPLICATIONS TO MULTI-DIMENSIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS AND HEAT TRANSFER PROBLEMS OF INTEREST TO NASA. THE UTILITY OF THESE METHODS FOR THE DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS FOR MATERIALSPROCESSING IN SPACE APPLICATIONS IS CONSIDERED. THE MAJOR ADVANTAGE OF SPECTRAL METHODS IS THAT THEY REQUIRE AT LE ...
