INNOVATIVE APPROACHES ARE DESCRIBED IN THIS PROPOSAL FOR SUPPRESSING FREQUENCY MODULATION ON A SINUSOIDAL CARRIER. PARTICULAR EMPHASIS IS DIRECTED TO THE SUPPRESSION OF IDENTIFIABLE COMPONENTS OF A COMPOSITE MODULATION PROCESS FOR THE PURPOSE OF RETAINING, FOR SEPARATE MEASUREMENT, ANY FORM OF RANGE-RATE DOPPLER SHIFT/MODULATION PRESENT. THE PROPOSED EFFORT WILL CONSIST OF AN ANALYTICAL STUDY FOR ...

The 3D-Flow Processor system is a new concept in very fast, real-time system architectures. The throughput of this system can reach up to 100 millin frames/sec, yet unlike currently available systems of comparable speed, it is fully programmable and extremely flexible. Algorithms for processing information from the input of multiple sensor can easily be implemented on a 3D-Flow system to achiev ...

A low-cost, miniaturized Low Light Level (LLL) CCD TV camera system capable of more than 400 TV lines per picture height at an illumination level ranging from moonless starlight (10 E-4 foot candles) is proposed. The electro-optical portion of the system will incorporate an input lens with an electrically controllable iris, a GEN III image intensifier, a coupling lens and a 2/3-inch CCD. With care ...

THE WASTE HEAT EXCHANGER IS OFTEN THE LARGEST SINGLE COMPONENT IN DIESEL-EXHAUST POWERED AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS, AND ON ACCOUNT OF ITS HIGH MATERIAL CONTENT, IS OFTEN THE HEAVIEST AND MOST COSTLY AS WELL. THE NEED EXISTS FOR A HEAT EXCHANGER DESIGN AND FABRICATION TECHNIQUE WHICH IS COMPACT AND LIGHTWEIGHT, RESISTS FOULING FROM EXHAUST GASES, IS EASILY CLEANED, USES INEXPENSIVE MATERIALS, AND IS ...

A self-pumping water heater is proposed wherein a small portion of the water to be pumped is evaporated in a boiler and used to pressurize and heat the main stream of water. Unlike early slow direct-acting steam pumps, the proposed approach operates at moderate frequencies and is extremely compact. In Phase I, an analytical model describing the dynamics of the process would be formulated, and a pr ...

The XA2 gasoline burner is widely used by the military to meet a variety of food preparation and heating requirements in the field. Because of the trend toward an single-fuel Army vehicle fleet and away from gasoline as a general purpose fuel, a diesel/JPS fueled burner is sorely needed. A recently developed catalytic vapor generator together with the proposed metal-hydride preheater should prov ...

ADVANCED PROGRAMMING CONCEPTS (APC) PROPOSES TO EXPAND A PREVIOUSLY DEVELOPED TACTICAL DISPLAY SYSTEM (TDS) TO ORIENT IT FOR USE BY TANK AND OTHER ARMORED VHEICLE COMMANDERS. THIS TDS WILL (FOR PHASE I) BE UPDATED VIA SMALL VHF PORTABLE RADIOS USING X.25 PROTOCOL. THE TACTICAL DISPLAY WILL CONSIST OF TERRAIN, OWN UNIT POSITION, FRIENDLY AND ENEMY UNIT POSITIONS AND MAP OVERLAYS FOR REFERENCE. FREE ...
