The dolphin has a unique sonar capability by which it produces high-frequency clicks. The dolphin is able to vary both the frequency content and the repetition rate of the echolocation clicks. The goal of the combined Phase I and Phase II project is to model the dolphin sonar and to design, construct, and build a sonar system capable of mimicking the dolphin's behavior and ultimately to use this d ...

As electric vehicles are becoming more popular, and new state regulations are requiring greater electric vehicle usage, techniques are required to make their operation more efficient. One method is to improve the efficiency of the motor controller. This may be accomplished by incorporating the latest component technologies into innovative circuit topologies. Axiom technology international proposes ...

Despite technological advanced in battlefield management information systems, it is still difficult to assess the medical/physiological status of individual field personnel. This information is key to the effective utilization of medical resources, and the management of overall responses to battlefield injuries. A system that would provide the capability for pinpointing the location of injured per ...

The feasibility of developing small area display and actuator devices based on ferro fluids will be investigated. Ferrofluids offer a more robust means for coupling electrical inputs to mechanical motion when compared to delicate electrostatically operated microdevices. Recent developments in colloidal ferric particle fabrication have made possible the formulation of transparent ferrofluids and fe ...
