CURRENT FRAME BUFFER TECHNOLOGY IS NOT OPTIMIZED FOR USE WITH GENERAL PURPOSE PROCESSORS. THIS PROPOSAL IS FOR A PROGRAM TO DEVELOP A BREADBOARD FRAME BUFFER WHICH IS EFFICIENTLY ACCESSED BY SUCH PROCESSORS. THE FRAME BUFFER IS BASED ON THE VME BUS AND IS SCALABLE TO LARGE AMOUNTS OF IMAGE MEMORY AND VERY FAST IMAGE ACQUISITION RATES. ALL IMAGE DATA IS RANDOMLY ACCESSIBLE AT HIGH SPEED. ANTICIPATE ...

CHROMEX proposes to develop a monitor system for plasma etch reactors that will, in the Phase I program, demonstrate much improved endpoint detection when compared to currently availabe systems. The Phase II research will extend the monitoring capabilities to all important plasma parameters. The system will provide the feedback information to the reactor controller necessary to produce a flexible ...

A PROJECT IS PROPOSED TO INVESTIGATE THE FEASIBILITY OF COMBINING A PHASE-CHANGE NON-LINEAR OPTICAL MATERIAL WITH A PHOTOREFRACTIVE MATERIAL IN THIN LAYERS TO ACHIEVE A THREE DIMENSIONAL MASS STORAGE MEDIUM. ORGANIC COMPOUNDS POSSESSING GOOD POLARIZABILITY ALONG WITH COMPOSITION CONDUCIVE TO PHASE CHANGE MECHANICS WILL BE TESTED FOR SHG AND PHASE CHANGE ABILITY, THEN PREPARED IN THIN FILMS ON PHOT ...

A novel method for preparing carbon electrode structures having applications in electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) is described. The method for preparing these structures employs carbon (graphite) nano fiber materials and results in an electrode having both high surface area and high electronic conductivity; two essential characteristics for EDLC electrodes. The fabrication process ...
