MANY COMPELLING EIS/ESS APPLICATIONS IN THE MILITARY AND IN INDUSTRY REMAIN INFEASIBLE DUE TO LIMITATIONS IN COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY. MANY INTERESTING PROBLEMS ARE TOO LARGE OR TOO COMPLEX FOR PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS BY TRADITIONAL APPROACHES. THE COMPLEXITY MAY ARISE FROM UNKNOWN, NON-LINEAR, OR TIME-VARYING RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN VARIABLES. NEURAL NETWORK TECHNOLGY HAS DEMONTRATED SIGNIFICANT CAPABAILITI ...

A NEED EXISTS FOR COMPOSITE REINFORCEMENTS WHICH HAVE ENHANCED AND COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH, WHILE RETAINING GOOD TENSILE STRENGTH AND MODULUS. THIS EFFORT EXPLORES A METHOD OF FIBER COATING WHICH ALLOWS VARYING OF THE REINFORCING FIBER DIAMETER. THE RESULT IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE A COMPOSITE WITH THE DESIRED CHARACTERISTICS OF INCREASED COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH, WHILE PROVIDING A HIGHLY OXIDATION RESISTAN ...

A NEW METHOD OF APPLYING THIN, ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE FILMSTO A SUBSTRATE AS A REPLACEMENT FOR CONTINUOUS STRIP ELECTROPLATING (CSEP) IS DESIRABLE FROM AN ENVIRONMENTAL STANDPOINT AS A MEANS OF LIMITING CHEMICAL AND METALLIC CONTAMINATION OF WASTEWATER AND THE ECONOMIC COSTS OF TREATMENT. AVCA CORPORATION HAS DONE PRELIMINARY DESIGN WORK ON A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING THIN FILMS BY LEVI ...

THE AIR WE BREATHE IS POLLUTED MAINLY BY THE FACTORIES AND VEHICLES THAT ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF MODERN TECHNOLOGICAL SOCIETY. THE CONTINUED RESEARCH FOR BETTER CONTROL OF THE FACTORS THAT EFFECT ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY AND PUBLIC SAFETY,MUST BE INTENSIFIED. BEHNKEN AND ASSOCIATES, INC. PERSONNELHAVE DISCOVERED A CONCEPT THAT OFFERS A SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION TOWARD ELIMINATING AIR POLLUTION FROM TH ...

G MODELS ARE A METHOD FOR REPRESENTING THE ELEVATION OF THE EARTH'S SURFACE THAT PROVIDE SOME SIGNIFICANT ADVANTAGES OVER THE CONVENTIONAL MATRIX FORM USED IN DIGITAL TERRAIN ELEVATION DATA (DTED). AVIONIC SYSTEMS CURRENTLY UNDER R&D IN PROGRAMS SUCH AS ITARS IN THE AVIONICS LABORATORY MAKE EXTENSIVE USE OF DTED. ONE OF THE PRIMARY BENEFITS FROM USING G MODELS IN AVIONIC APPLICATIONS IN PLACE OF D ...

THE HIGH-TC SUPERCONDUCTOR BICASRCU-OXIDE AND THE FERROELECTRIC BI4TI3O12 HAVE A-, B-, AND C-LATTICE CONSTANTS THAT MATCH ALMOST EXACTLY. SINGLE CRYSTALS OF THEBI-FERROELECTRIC ARE AVAILABLE IN THE FORM OF LARGE THIN PLATES WHERE THE C-AXIS IS PERPENDICULAR TO THE PLATE, AND THIN/THICK FILMS OF THE BI-SUPERCONDUCTOR CAN BE GROWN BY LIQUID PHASE EPITAXY. THIS PROPOSAL DEALS WITH AN INTEGRATED FERRO ...
