WE PROPOSE TO ANALYZE THE PERFORMANCE OF LOW FREQUENCY SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNETIC FIELD MEASURING SYSTEMS EMPLOYING THIN FILM ELEMENTS. BASED UPON THIS ANALYSIS, WE WILL DEVELOP THIN FILM DESIGNS FOR: 1. THIN FILM PICKUP LOOPS FOR MAGNETIC FIELD GRADIENT MEASUREMENT; 2. THIN FILM DC SQUID, AND 3. INTEGRATED GRADIENT MEASURING SYSTEM CONSISTING OF A THIN FILM PICKUP COIL AND THIN FILM SQUID ON A SING ...

THE JOINED-WING AIRPLANE IS A NEW TYPE OF AIRCRAFT CONFIGURATION EMPLOYING TWO SETS OF WINGS RIGIDLY CONNECTED TOGETHER TO FORM A TRIANGULATED SELF-BRACING STRUCTURE. FINITE-ELEMENT STRUCTURAL ANALYSES AND WIND-TUNNEL TESTS HAVE SHOWN THAT, COMPARED TO CANTILEVER-WING AIRCRAFT, JOINED WING AIRCRAFT ARE LIGHTER, STIFFER, AND HAVE HIGHER SPAN-EFFICIENCY FACTORS, GIVING LOWER INDUCED DRAG. THE JOINED ...

THE PRODIGIOUS FLOW OF DATA IN ELECTROMAGNETIC CALORIMETERS PROPOSED FOR EXPERIMENTS AT THE SUPERCONDUCTING SUPER COLLIDER (SSC) WILL REQUIRE THE USE OF NEW FAST RADIATION RESISTANT DETECTOR CRYSTALS SUCH AS BAF(2). HOWEVER, THE PRECISION OF THESE CALORIMETERS, AND HENCE THEIR USE FOR PHYSICAL MEASUREMENT, WILL DEPEND ON IN-SITU CALIBRATION. RECENT WORK BY U.S. COLLABORATORS DESIGNING THE LARGE BI ...

THE ARS-9 PRIMARY SURVEILLANCE RADAR HAS A DIGITAL OUTPUT INSTEAD OF THE ANALOG OUTPUT OF IT'S PREDECESSORS. THE COMPUTER AND DISPLAYS EQUIPMENT FOR NAVAL AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL COMPUTER NEEDS DIFFERENT DATA THAN THE ASR-9, NOW SUPPLIES. AN INTERFACE WILL BE DESIGNED THAT WILL TAKE THE OUTPUT OF THE ASR-9 EITHER FROM MODEM OR FIBER OPTICK LINK OR MICROWAVE LINK OR ON-SITE ATTACHMENT AND CONVERT FOR T ...

THIS PROJECT WILL IMPLEMENT A NEW APPROACH TO IDENTIFYING AIRCRAFT DURING GROUND OPERATIONS. WE WILL APPLY THE USE OFNEURAL NETWORK TECHNOLOGY FOR SCHEDULING AND TRACKING AIRCRAFT. THIS ROBUST AND MASSIVELY PARALLEL AUTOMATION TECHNIQUE HAS POTENTIAL APPLICATION FOR GROUND TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT. OUR CONCEPT SHOULD WORK WITH RUNWAY FOOTPRINT DETECTION SCHEMES. IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO DO PATTERN RECOGN ...

ACTA INC., USING KARAGOZIAN AND CASE AS A SUBCONTRACTOR, PROPOSES TO DEVELOP SPECIFICATIONS AND A COMPUTER PROGRAM WHICH CAN BE USED IN THE EVALUATION OF THE SYSTEM EFFECTIVENESS OF VARIOUS CANDIDATE ADVANCED BASING CONCEPTS. ACTA WILL MAKE USE OF SOFTWARE (ASTEP) WHICH IT HAS ALREADY DEVELOPED AS A BASIS FOR A PROGRAM WHICH CAN BE DELIVERED AT THE END OF PHASE I. THE PROGRAM CONCEPT WILL BE MODUL ...

SPACE BASED RADARS WITH LENS OR REFLECTOR ANTENNAS CAN READILY PROVIDE MULTIPLE BEAM OUTPUTS. OTHER SBR DESIGNED TO DETECT AND TRACK AIRCRAFT, INCLUDING SYSTEMS WITH CORPORATE FED ARRAY ANTENNAS, MAY PROVIDE MONOPULSE SUM AND DIFFERENCE OUTPUTS FOR ANGLE MEASUREMENT. A METHOD IS DESCRIBED FOR EXPLOITING THESE MULTIPLE BEAM OR MONOPULSE ANTENNA OUTPUTS FOR THE DETECTION OF SLOW-MOVING TARGETS WITH ...

THE PURPOSE OF THIS WORK IS TO CONDUCT AN EVALUATION OF CHANNELING RADIATION FOR THE NONINVASIVE ASSESSMENT OF CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE IN HUMANS. THE HIGH BRIGHTNESS, LASER-LIKE COLLIMATION, LINEAR POLARIZATION, AND QUASIMONO- CHROMATICITY OF CHANNELING RADIATION MAKE IT AN IDEAL SOURCEOF X-RAYS FOR MEDICAL APPLICATIONS. RECENT EXPERIMENTS USING SYNCHROTRON EMISSION AS A SOURCE OF X-RAYS, COUPLED ...
