THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LOW COST, 3-AXIS, NUMERICALLY-CONTROLLED, OPTICAL GENERATOR SUITABLE FOR USE IN GRINDING GLASS OR CERAMIC PARTS, AS WELL AS FOR MACHING METALS TO OPTICAL TOLERANCES IS DESCRIBED. THIS INNOVATIVE DESIGN USES ROTARY BEARINGS ON ALL THREE AXES BECAUSE OF THEHIGH ACCURACY AND LOW COST PROVIDED. THE NC MACHINE WILL HAVE THE CAPACITY TO GENERATE EITHER ROTATIONALLY SYMMETRIC OR ASYM ...

The overall abjective of this proposed project is the development of detailed definitions for the interfaces defined by the ABBET architecture. Signal models wil developed based upon the C/ATLAS set of signal nouns. A Test Foundation Framework (TFF) will be implemented to demonstrate the ability of test program or test program component transfer across multiple test platforms. This phase also w ...

PPT, in collaboration with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, proposes to develop a manufacturable packaging technology for monolithic Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) laser arrays for all-optical fiber communications. The packaging technology will include coupling from a monolithic laser array to individual fibers and a microwave feed for each of the individual elements, all in a hermetically s ...

This Phase I Small Business Innovation Research project aims to develop a novel and highly versatile family of NLO crystals that may overcome the limitations of conventional technology. These materials are multifunctional and exhibit a number of unique properties that include, high nonlinearities, high damage thresholds, wide transparency range, are non-hygroscopic, and melt congruently. The uni ...

Current techniques for the production of red phosphorus powders cannot produce 5¿m size powders while maintaining a pure surface. Two new processing techniques are suggested that are capable of processing red phosphorus into powders 5¿m or smaller in size. These techniques have been demonstrated with conventional metals and alloys but not with phosphorus. One important advantage of these proc ...

THERE IS A VERY LARGE PENT-UP DEMAND FOR ADVANCED HIGH PERFORMANCE HIGH TEMPERATURE INTERMETALLIC COMPOSITES WHICH IS LIMITED BY THE AVAILABILITY OF AN ECONOMICAL SMALL DIAMETER CERAMIC FIBER WITH GOOD STRENGTH RETENTION > OR - 1400 DEG C. COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE CERAMIC FIBERS PRODUCED AS MONOFILAMENT BY CVD OR PYROLYSIS OF POLYMER PRECURSOR HAVE ONE OR MORE FAULTS OF POOR STRENGTH RETENTION ABOVE ...
