87 LNG Storage and Delivery System Analysis--Directed Technologies, Inc., 4001 North Fairfax Drive, Suite 775, Arlington, VA 22203-1614; (703) 243-3383 Mr. Brian D. James, Principal Investigator Mr. Ira F. Kuhn, Jr., Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG02-97ER82357 Amount: $75,000 To reduce foreign fuel dependence and improve the Nation¿s air quality, new high-efficiency, direct-injection d ...

AN EXISTING SYSTEM HAS DEMONSTRATED, IN QUIET CONDITIONS, VERY RELIABLE DETECTION OF HUMANS HIDDEN IN VEHICLES. SEISMIC VIBRATIONS ARE THE MAJOR, UNAVOIDABLE LIMITATIONS. MEASUREMENT OF THE SEISMIC VIBRATIONS AND COHERENT ANALYSES WILL BE UTILIZED TO COMPUTE AND SUBTRACT THE EFFECT OF THE SEISMIC INTERFERENCE ON THE VEHICLE MOTION. THE PHASE I EFFORT WILL IMPROVE THE RELIABILITY, INCREASE THE S ...

RELIABLE INTRUSION DETECTION MAY BE ACHIEVED BY COMBINING GENERALIZED POTENTIAL FUNCTION (GPF) NEURAL NET CONSTRUCTION AND MULTIPLE SENSOR DATA FUSION. TRADITIONALLY, RELIABLE INTRUSION DETECTION CAN BE DIFFICULT BECAUSE NOISE LEVELS CHANGE WITH TIME AND LOCATION, AND AN INTRUSION MAY PRODUCE A WIDE RANGE OF SIGNALS OR VARIATIONS OVER THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SENSORS. ACCOMMODATING THESE VARIATION ...

THE USE OF METAL-CONTAINING POLYMERS AS PRECURSORS TO HIGH CRITICAL TEMPERATURE (T(C)) SUPERCONDUCTING FILAMENTS WILL BE EXPLORED THROUGH A PROPRIETARY LOW-TEMPERATURE SOLUTION SYNTHESIS. CAREFUL EVALUATION OF THE PERTINENT CHEMICAL LITERATURE WILL BE DONE TO OPTIMIZE THE STARTING MATERIAL COMBINATION AND TO HELP DETERMINE ADEQUATE EXPERIMENTAL CONDITIONS THAT WILL YIELD A HOMOGENEOUS, POLYMERIC P ...

N/A

A NEW TECHNIQUE, PULSED ELECTRON BEAM (PEB) JOINING, WILL BE APPLIED TO THE PROBLEM OF JOINING, LOW-LOSS CERAMIC MATERIALS USED FOR WINDOWS IN HIGH FREQUENCY MICROWAVE DEVICES TO THE METAL VACUUM ENVELOPE OF THE MICROWAVE DEVICE. THE PEB TECHNIQUE ALLOWS SELECTIVE HEATING OF THE SPECIMEN TO BE JOINED THROUGH PREFERENTIAL ENERGY DEPOSITION THAT IS CONTROLLED BY A COMBINATION OF THE ELECTRON BEAM P ...

149 A High-Charge Electron Gun for Dielectric Type Wake-Field Accelerators--FM Technologies, Inc., 10529-B Braddock Road, Fairfax, VA 22032-2236; (703) 425-5111 Dr. Frederick M. Mako, Principal Investigator Dr. Frederick M. Mako, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG02-97ER82375 Amount: $75,000 The development of high-current, short-duration pulses of electrons used in injectors of particle a ...
