40436 November 18, 1996 Advanced Safeguards, Inc. In high-security Department of Energy and Department of Defense facilities, cold-chemical smoke generators are used to produce visual obscurants in order to delay unauthorized intruders. The technology is based on the rapid rejection of two chemicals, contained within the device, into the surrounding air w ...

COALESCING THE FRAGMENTED INFORMATION ASSOCIATED WITH EACH EVENT OF A HIGH-ENERGY PHYSICS DETECTOR AND THEN PROCESSING IT AT THE RATES DEMANDED BY ACCELERATOR SYSTEMS ARE AMONG THE LARGEST CHALLENGES IN THE PHYSICS COMMUNITY. NEW DETECTOR SYSTEMS CONTINUE TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF MEASURED PARAMETERS AND SIMULTANEOUSLY INCREASE THE RESOLUTION OF DETECTOR COMPONENTS SO THAT THE VOLUME OF GENRATED ...

40879 November 13, 1996 Karta Technology, Inc. In almost all glass-manufacturing processes, production yield depends critically on the viscosity of the melt. Because the glass viscosity is a function of temperature, most active control systems monitor the temperature of the molten glass. However, temperature readings are not reliable for measuring viscos ...

182 Development of Scintillators and Waveshifters for Detection of Ionizing Radiation--Ludlum Measurements, Inc., PO Box 810, Sweetwater, TX 79556-0810; (915) 235-5494 Mr. Charles R.

THERE IS A RENEWED INTEREST IN FUEL CELLS AS PRIMARY POWER SOURCES FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES. THE ACIDIC PROTON EXCHANGE MEMBRANE FUEL CELL OPERATES AT A MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE OF 95 DEGREES CENTIGRADE AND, AT PRESENT, RELIES ON THE USE OF PLATINUM-BASED ELECTROCATALYSTS. FOR ACID FUEL CELLS OPERATING AT TEMPERATURES BELOW 130 DEGREES CENTIGRADE, HYDROGEN IS THE MOST ACTIVE COMMON FUEL THAT CAN BE USED ...
