The ability to identify an individual carcass or primal cut, measure attributes of weight, quality, or yield for each, is lost the moment the animal is slaughtered and passed into the production line or when the eartag is removed. Current gambrel marking systems allow for acquisition of data and relate it to an individual carcass but cease to have benefit once carcass conversion commences. The p ...

We propose a radically innovative approach to the problem of multiple access communication which promises to revolutionize the modern communication industry by dramatically increasing network throughput. Our approach is based upon two major novel components: (i) hybrid time-frequency allication of communication channel resources, and(ii) non-orthogonal, i.e., overlaping, multiplexed signals. Toge ...

The Multiple Degree of Freedom Measurement (MDFM) System, developed under Wright Laboratory, has been identified as having strong commercial potential as a significant enhancement to existing products in the machine tool industry for machine tool calibration or coordinate measuring machine enhancement. The MDFM is in need of revision to incorporate state-of-the-art technology, to prepare the devi ...

The final prototype of the Microcircuit Board Repair apparatus will be capable of laying down or lifting metal strips with micrometer dimensions. Under real time computer control, the translation stages will be fully automated or manually controlled. The end user will monitor the process in real time using a camera attached with the source. Laying down the metal lines will be done using Laser C ...

We propose to develop an inexpensive, high performance closed-cycle cascade J-T cryocooler. The cryocooler will be based on a high pressure ratio, oil-free, metal diaphragm compressor. This innovative compressor will be compact, inexpensive and extremely reliable. The compressor can either be used with single-stage mixed-gas or multi-stage cascade cycles. For a single-stage mixed gas cryocoo ...
