The Acoustech Corporation as the prime contractor and the Pennsylvania State University - Applied Research Labc-atory as the subcontractor propose to design, manufacture, and test an underwater acoustic intensity probe containing a geophone and two-hydrophones encased in a neutrally buoyant package. The results of this proposed effort are anticipated to be highly successful since the researc ...

DEVELOPMENT OF A PLAN AND ITS DEMONSTRATION IN PRODUCING MODERN DATABASE FOR RV TECHNOLOGIES IS PROPOSED BY USING CLOUD MICROPHYSICAL DATA SETS COLLECTED SINCE 1985 OVER THE NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT AND U.S. ARMY KWAJALEIN ATOLL. THE PLAN INCLUDES THE USE OF AIRBORNE RADAR, MODELING, AND SATELLITE ADDITIONS TO THE PARTICLE SIZE DATA TO CORRELATE PARTICLE SIZE AND LIQUID WATER CONTENT OVER AN EXTEN ...

Currently, most antenna array designs are mechanically steered. However, as demand for higher performance antennas increases, an electronic replacement for the mechanical system becomes necessary. An alternative that may prove to be more cost effective is to use ferrite patch antennas as the elements in the array. The antenna's radiation characteristics are controlled by the direction and magni ...

While circuit simulation tools have revolutionized the art of RF and microwave design, these tools are only as good as the component values they employ. The increased demand for reduced design cycles and easier to manufacture systems has generated the need for accurate and reliable tools. Current circuit simulation tools use component models that do not always account for parasitic coupling, non ...

As a consequence of the under-developed current state of Congnitive Systems Engineering (CSE), the resulting decision support systems (DSSs) are therefore weakened/lessened in terms of effective support to the users. A radical advance in the practicality and efficiency of CSE as an integral component of an overall system development process is an essential breakthrough. This proposal outlines a ...

For this Phase I SBIR program, high volumetric efficiency (>100uF/cm3) multilayer capacitors will be developed with at least X7R temperatue dependence (+ 15% change in capacitance) over the range -55 degrees C to 350 degees C. Three approaches will be adopted to accompish these goals: (1) the maximum temperature range for existing NPO (K 70-100) capacitors will be extended to 300 degrees C throu ...

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 ...
