Survival of present day microelectronic circuits depends on their protection from self generated and external electromagnetic interference. This proposal is oriented toward the class of interference generally referred to as overvoltage transients. Means for mitigating these transients include gas discharge tubes, and various solid state devices. Each of these has their own advantages in particu ...

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 ...

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 ...
