41299 November 19, 1996 FM Technologies, Inc. In the Relativistic Klystron Two-Beam Accelerator, which is currently under development, power from a low-energy, high-current, bunched beam is converted to micro-waves via the klystron mechanism and used to provide power for a high-energy linac, specifically a future Next Linear Collider upgrade to l.0 TeV. ...

THE CONTINUED PROGRESS BEING MADE IN LIQUID-METAL-COOLED NUCLEAR REACTORS REQUIRES A CAPABILITY TO MONITOR AND INSPECT REACTOR INTERNALS. SINCE THE 1960S RESEARCH IN ULTRASONIC IMAGING HAS BEEN PURSUED AT A SOMEWHAT LEISURELY PACE. SIMPLE SONIC ECHO RANGING HAS BEEN THE PRINCIPLE RELIED UPON TO GENERATE IMAGES OF INTERNALS. THIS REQUIRES A PRECISE MECHANICAL MEANS TO SCAN THE ULTRASONIC BEAM OVER ...

40444 November 18, 1996 Southwest Sciences, Inc. Increasing energy consumption and environmental degradation may contribute to deleterious changes in the radiative balance and chemical composition of the atmosphere. The quantitative measurement of water vapor in the troposphere and lower stratosphere is crucial for the study of meteorological and climati ...
