The final prototype of the Microcircuit Board Repair apparatus will be capable of laying down or lifting metal strips with micrometer dimensions. Under real time computer control, the translation stages will be fully automated or manually controlled. The end user will monitor the process in real time using a camera attached with the source. Laying down the metal lines will be done using Laser C ...

The U.S. Navy has already achieved dramatic cost savings using teleconferencing technology in its Chief Electronic Schoolhouse Network (CESN) project. Even greater cost savings could be achieved if teleconferencing technology were portable and reliable enough to be used from any geographic location (ship or shore), in the world. At the same time, experiments like the Defense Information Services ...

ATOMIZED LIQUID SPRAY FILTRATION SYSTEMS ADDRESS THE DEFICIENCIES OF THE CURRENT BARRIER-TYPE FILTRATION SYSTEMS. PRESSURE DROP ACROSS THE LIQUID SPRAY IS LOW BECAUSE THERE IS NO OBSTRUCTION TO THE AIRFLOW; THUS THE SYSTEM WILL REQUIRE LESS SPACE AND CAN OPERATE WITH CONVENTIONAL VENTILATION FANS. THE PRESSURE DROP DOES NOT INCREASE WITH TIME BECAUSE THERE IS NO BUILDUP OF PARTICULATE ON A FILTER ...

Atmospheric data collection often requires the simultaneous use of multiple instruments. Currently, different instruments are often packaged separately on the aircraft, with unique fairing/airframe integration for each. This method often requires extensive modifications to the airframe, makes maintenance of the total instrument package difficult, makes addition and removal of specific instrum ...
