ANTROPIX CORPORATION PROPOSES TO OBTAIN TIME RESOLVED TARGET AND PLUME OPTICAL PROPERTIES MEASUREMENTS DURING RP LASER INTERACTIONS. TARGET ABSORBANCES (BOTH SURFACE AND IN-DEPTH) AND REFLECTANCES WILL BE DETERMINED WITH INTEGRATING SPHERE DEVICES PLUS PROBE BEAMS AND FAST DETECTORS. PLUME OPTICAL PROPERTIES DUE TO ATOMIC, MOLECULAR, PARTICULATE, AND PLASMA SPECIES WILL BE DETERMINED USING LASER P ...

THIS PROPOSAL INVOLVES THE DEVELOPMENT OF WIRELESS HEADSET SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM IS AN APPLICATION OF DIGITAL AUDIO ENCODING, PACKET SWITCHING, LOCAL AREA NETWORKING, AND TIME/ADDRESS MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUES TO FORM A NETWORK OF PERSONAL ACOUSTIC HEADSETS TO BE WORN BY A NUMBER OF PERSONNEL. THIS INNOVATION ALLOWS THE USE OF MANY HEADSETS ON THE SAME CARRIER FREQUENCY TO OPERATE FROM A SINGLE BASE UN ...

THIS PROJECT WILL EXPLORE THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ADVANCED, LOW-COST COMPUTER SYSTEM, BASED ON A VIRTUAL-MEMORY INTEL 80386 PROCESSOR, FOR IMAGE ANALYSIS, GRAPHICAL DATA STORAGE, AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL RECONSTRUCTION THAT WILL BE USED AS A NEUROANATOMICAL WORKSTATION. THE STATION WILL INCLUDE PROVISIONS FOR DATA INPUT FROM A DIGITIZING TABLET, COMPUTER MICROSCOPY USING A LIGHT MICROSCOPE WITH STEPPER ...

CERAMATEC HAS CONDUCTED EXPLORATORY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ON MONOLITHIC AND COMPOSITE MATERIALS IN THE ZRB2 AND TIB2 SYSTEMS AND HAS OBTAINED VERY ENCOURAGING RESULTS WITH SEVERAL PROPRIETARY COMPOSITIONS/CONSTRUCTIONS. THE AVERAGE STRENGTH OF A BASELINE TIB2 COMPOSITION WAS MEASURED AT 877 MPA (127.3 KSI). COMPOSITE STRUCTURESWITH DISCONTINUOUS REINFORCEMENT HAD STRENGTHS IN THE RANGE 400-600 ...

THE OVERALL OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEMONSTRATE THE SUCCESSFUL FABRICATION AND DENSIFICATION OF CERAMIC MATRIX COMPOSITES FORMED BY INJECTION MOLDING. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS OBJECTIVE, A DESIGNED TEST MATRIX WILL BE DEVELOPED THAT WILL SYSTEMATICALLY INVESTIGATE THE KEY INJECTION MOLDING AND DEBINDING PARAMETERS SUCH AS BINDER COMPOSITION, SOLIDS RATIO, MOLDING CONDITIONS, DEBINDING CONDITIONS ...

INNOVATIVE RESEARCH IS NEEDED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM OF DESIGNING FOR PRODUCIBILITY. KNOWLEDGE BASED SYSTEMS NOW OFFER CONSIDERABLE PROMISE IN THIS FIELD. IF THE GROUND DATA FOR THE INFERENCES OF SUCH A SYSTEM CAN BE CAPTURED DIRECTLY FROM A DESIGN DRAWING THEN ANALYSIS CAN BE CONDUCTED WITH THE AID OF AN EXPERT SYSTEM AND RESULTS MADE AVAILABLE AT A CAD WORKSTATION TO PROMPT IMMEDIATE REVISION IF ...

THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP A SET OF DESIGN-FOR-PRODUCIBILITY (DFP) TOOLS AND GUIDELINES FOR ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS. THE GUIDELINES WILL COVER ALL LEVELS OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEM INTERCONNECTION: BASE MATERIALS, BARE BOARDS, BOARD ASSEMBLIES, CONNECTORS, WIRE AND CABLE HARNESSES, RACKS, CHASSIS, CABINETS, AND PERIPHERAL ASSEMBLIES. THE GUIDELINES WILL INCLUDE GOOD MANUFACTURABILITY, TESTABILITY, AND INSPEC ...

THIS PROJECT IS DEVOTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A UNIQUE COLLECTION OF ALGORITHMS DESIGNED TO RESOLVE SOME OF THE MOST DIFFICULT PROBLEMS OF MODERN COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS: (1) THE ANALYSIS OF COMPLEX INCOMPRESSIBLE FLOWS IN ARBITRARY THREE-DIMENSIONAL DOMAINS; (2) THE ANALYSIS OF COMPLEX FLOW-INTERACTION PHENOMENA ASSOCIATED WITH THE MOTION OF ONE OR MORE RIGID BODIES MOVING RELATIVE TO ONE AN ...

A FEASABILITY STUDY IS BEING CONDUCTED TOWARD DEVELOPMENT OFA STAND-ALONE DATABASE PRODUCT FOR PERSONAL COMPUTERS FEATURING LINKED ACCESS TO MULTIPLE DATABASES OF INTEREST TO MOLECULAR BIOLOGISTS. ALL DATA AND ACCESS SOFTWARE WILL BE LOCATED ON A COMPACT DISK SO THAT NO CONNECTION TO EXTERNAL COMPUTER RESOURCES WILL BE REQUIRED. THE DATABASESENVISAGED INCLUDE GENBANK (TM), PROTEIN IDENTIFICATION R ...

THE PROOF OF CONCEPT STUDY HEREIN PROPOSED DEALS WITH THE VALIDATION OF THE KEY TECHNOLOGY NEEDED TO REALIZE THE PERFORMANCE POTENTIAL OF THE UNIFIED CYCLE ENGINE (UCE) WHOSE OPERATIONAL ENVELOPE WAS EXPLORED IN THE PHASE I EFFORT. THE TECHNOLOGY TO BE VALIDATED, ALLOWS THE UCE TO EFFICIENTLY PROVIDE USEFUL AMOUNTS OF THRUST OVER A RANGE CONDITIONS FROM SEA-LEVEL STATIC TO MACH 5 AT HIGH ALTITUDE ...
