177 Low-Loss HTS Coil System for High Energy Physics Detector Applications--Ability Engineering Technology, Inc., 16140 Vincennes Avenue, South Holland, IL 60473-1283; Mr. Michael W. Morgan, Principal Investigator Mr. Joseph A. Zawistowski, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG02-97ER82307 Amount: $75,000 The use of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) coils (those that superconduct when co ...

THE LONG-RANGE GOAL OF THIS PROGRAM IS THE DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION OF PROTON ACCELERATORS SUITABLE FOR RADIATION THERAPY OF CANCER IN HOSPITAL OR CLINICAL SETTINGS. FOR THIS PURPOSE THE ACCELERATOR SHOULD HAVE AN ENERGY UP TO 250 MEV, AND MUST BE SIMPLE, RELIABLE, AND INEXPENSIVE COMPARED TO EXISTING ACCELERATORS FOR PHYSICS APPLICATIONS. IN ADDITION, WITH SUFFICIENT INNOVATION, IT COULD ...

Ultrasonic motors are novel devices that operate based on the piezoelectric effect. A "smart material" piezoceramic (Lead Zirconium Titanate, PZT) ring is excited by electrical signals and generates a traveling surface wave. The traveling surface wave drives a rotor through a toothed stator. These motors have several distinct advantages: low profile, high torque at low speeds, quick response, inse ...

Fastening and joining technology has lagged behind the progress that has been made in other areas of composites for advanced air vehicles. Aerotech proposes the development of reversible polymeric adhesive bonding of composites using variable frequency microwave energy. With this method, composites are bonded using Poly Ether Ether Ketone (a high temperature thermoplastic) which is cured using v ...

INFORMATION USE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A KEY FACTOR IN ENHANCING COMPETITIVENESS OF THE NATION'S INDUSTRIES. THE RESEARCH PROPOSED WOULD RIGOROUSLY EVALUATE CURRENT IMPEDIMENTS TO EFFECTIVE USE, DEFINE POTENTIAL ECONOMIC VALUE OF ENHANCED USE, AND EXPLORE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR COMPUTERIZED DECISION AIDS TO INCREASE INFORMATION EFFECTIVENESS IN DECISIONMAKING. THESE GOALS WOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR TH ...

SUPERCONDUCTING HEAVY-ION BOOSTERS ARE LIMITED IN THEIR MASS RANGE BY THE VELOCITY ACCEPTANCE OF THE RESONATORS IN THEIR FIRST SECTIONS. A NEED HAS ARISEN TO DO NUCLEAR PHYSICS IN MASS RANGES INACCESSIBLE WITH EXISTING ACCELERATING STRUCTURES. THE END PRODUCT THAT WOULD RESULT FROM THIS RESEARCH IS AN ACCELERATING RESONATOR WITH AN UPPER MASS ACCEPTANCE 50% LARGER THAN EXISTING STRUCTURES. OUR EXP ...

THIS PROJECT WILL STUDY THE REMOVAL OF SOX FROM COM- BUSTION PROCESS FLUE GASES FOLLOWED BY DIRECT CONVERSION TO ELEMENTAL SULFUR, USING CHELATED IRON THAT HAS BEEN REDUCED TO FORM A CHELATE:FES COMPLEX. THE PROCESS WOULD HAVE SALEABLE ELEMENTAL SULFUR AS THE ONLY SIGNIFICANT BYPRODUCT AND WOULD OPERATE WITH THE CHELATED IRON AS A REGENERABLE CATALYTIC REAGENT. THE REACTIONS TO BE EXAMINED IN THIS ...
