THE PROPOSED PHASE I EFFORT CONSISTS OF ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION OF TECHNIQUES FOR MEASUREMENT OF ACOUSTIC SENSOR POSITIONS IN LONG TOWEDARRAYS FOR USE IN REDUCING PERFORMANCE DEGRADATIONS DUE TO ARRAY MOTIONS AND DISTORTION. PRESENT AND FUTURE ARRAY DESIGNS AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENTS WILL BE CONSIDERED, WITH SPECIFIC ATTENTION TO NONACOUSTIC SENSOR SUITES AND CAPABILITIES. A SURVEY OF SHAPE ESTIMA ...

TAMM RELATES TO TWO TECHNOLOGIES FOR NONINVASIVE TRANSCUTANEOUS MEASUREMENTS OF BLOOD ANALYTES THAT HAVE POTENTIAL FOR APPLICATION IN A COMBAT CASUALTY CARE ENVIRONMENT. THE NEAR INFRARED (NIR) REFLECTANCE TECHNOLOGY DETERMINES BLOOD ANALYTE CONCENTRATION BASED ON DIFFUSE REFLECTANCE MEASUREMENTS WITH A FIBER OPTIC PROBE. SPECTRAL DATA ACQUIRED IS PROCESSED USING SOPHISTICATED PATTERN RECOGNITION ...

A NEED EXISTS TO MONITOR VIBRATION IN HIGHWAY BRIDGES. IT IS DESIRABLE TO MONITOR MANY POINTS ON THE BRIDGE. THE CURRENT PROBLEM IS THAT SENSORS MUST BE WIRED TO A CENTRAL LOCATION. WIRE IS DIFFICULT TO INSTALL AND TO MOVE. THE SOLUTION IS TO COLLECT SENSOR DATA BY RADIO. A SYSTEM EXISTS THAT ELIMINATES WIRE. IT GATHERS SENSOR DATA TO A CENTRAL LOCATION BY RADIO. THE SYSTEM'S UNIQUE FEATURE IS THA ...

NEW HORIZONS DIAGNOSTICS (NHD) HAS SEVERAL PATENTS FOR NOVEL RAPID AND SIMPLE LIGAND-RECEPTOR ASSAYS. NHD'S GOAL HAS BEEN TO PRODUCE ASSAYS SIMPLE ENOUGH TO BE PERFORMED BY UNSKILLED OR UNTRAINED INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT ANY EQUIPMENT NEEDS. THROUGH THE COMMERCIAL INTRODUCTION OF THE DIRECT GROUP A STREP SMART (SENSITIVE MEMBRANE ANTIGEN RAPID TEST), NHD HAS PROVEN ITSELF TO BE IN THE FOREFRONT OF RAPI ...

WE PROPOSE USING AN INNOVATIVE STIRLING COOLER FOR SHIPBOARD REFRIGERATION. THIS DESIGN ELIMINATES THE FRICTTON, WEAR, AND SEAL LEAKAGE PROBLEMS OF CURRENT STIRLING COOLERS, AND WILL PROVIDE A HIGH RELIABILITY, LONG-LIFE REFRIGERATOR. THE USE OF NEAR AMBIENT PRESSURE AIR AS THE WORKING FLUID MAKES THIS MACHINE ENVIRONMENTALLY BENIGN AND IMMUNE TO PROBLEMS WITH LEAKAGE IN THE COOLER ENVELOPE. THE R ...

THE ADVANCED MULTI-MODE/MULTI-VERNIER AN/AQA-7(V)10/11 AND AN/UYS-1 ACOUSTIC SIGNAL PROCESSORS PROVIDE AN ALMOST UNLIMITED NUMBER OF MODE SELECTION AND VERNIER SELECTION/PLACEMENT OPTIONS. THIS WIDE DIVERSITY OF PROCESSOR CONFIGURATION OPTIONS THUS ALLOWS THE OPERATOR TO TAILOR THE SET-UP OF HIS EQUIPMENT TO MAXIMIZE ACOUSTIC DETECTION PERFORMANCE FOR EACH TACTICAL SITUATION, THREAT(S) SCENARIO, A ...
