PERFECT VIEW INC. AND THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR, DR. A. J. ATTAR, HAVE RECENTLY OBTAINED A PATENT ON A METHOD TO REMOVE MINERAL WATER FROM COAL BY FIRST TURNING ITS SURFACE HYDROPHOBIC (U.S. PATENT 4,597,769, ISSUED JULY 1ST, 1986). THE TREATMENT INVOLVES A VERY LOW-COST CHEMICAL REACTION WHICH CONVERTS THE HYDROXLIC AND CARBOXYLIC SURFACE FUNCTIONALITIES TO ETHERS AND ESTERS. THIS TREATMENT REDU ...

THE TECHNICAL OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO ESTABLISH THE FEASILBILITY OF SATISFYING THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE U.S. ARMY COMMUNICATIONS ELECTRONICS COMMAND (CECOM) FOR RAPID AND EFFECTIVE MODELING OF U.S. ARMY COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS. THE METHOD WE PROPOSE FOR SATISFYING THESE REQUIREMENTS IS TO ADAPT A TOP-DOWN DESIGN SYSTEM FOR ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS BEING DEVELOPED FOR THE U.S. NAVY TO MODEL-ING OF C ...

A LIGHTWEIGHT COMBAT BOOT, SIMILAR IN UPPER PATTERN TO THE PRESENT HOT WEATHER BOOT, SUITABLE FOR ALL SEASON WEAR IN TEMPERATE CLIMATES, WITH IMPROVED BALLISTICS AND FIRE RESISTANCE, AND AN APPRECIABLE DEGREE OF CHEMICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL THREAT RESISTANCE.

THE UTILIZATION OF INTELLIGENT MAINTENANCE TUTORING SYSTEMS ACROSS A WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS CAN BRING A NEW LEVEL OF ABILITY AND LEARNING. TO DEMONSTRATE THE POTENTIAL INHERENT IN THIS CONCEPT, COMPUTER * THROUGHT WILL BUILD AND DELIVER A SOFTWARE SYSTEM THAT IS A WORKING PROTOTYPE FOR A MAINTENANCE TRAINING SYSTEM FOR ASSISTING PERSONNEL IN FAULT DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR OF DEFECTIVE M16 INFANTRY ...

THE ARMY BALLISTIC HELMET IS A COMPOSITE CONSISTING OF 19 RESINBONDED KELVAR. IT IS TYPICALLY LAID UP IN A PINWHEEL AND CROWN PLY CONFIGURATION. INADVERTANT OMISSION OF LAYERS OR UNDETECTED SHIFTING OF LAYERS DURING THE MOLDING PROCESSES CAN REDUCE THE EFFECTIVE NUMER OF FIBERS IN SOME AREAS OF A HELMET UNDER FABRICATION AND THEREBY IMPAIR THE STRENGTH PROPERTIES OF THE HELMET. CURRENTLY, VERIFICA ...

RFM HAS DEMONSTRATED A SAW NOTCH FILTER BASED ON A PATENTED SAW NOTCH ELEMENT (SNE). NOTCH SHAPE FACTORS (40DB: 1DB) OF LESS THAN 10:1 ARE DEMONSTRATED WITH LESS THAN 2DB OF LOSS. THIS PROPOSAL ADDRESSES SOME OF THE RESEARCH NECESSARY TO MAKE THIS TECHNOLOGY PRACTICAL. IT INCLUDES IMPROVED MODELLING AND EXPERIMENTAL VERIFICATION.
