40642 November 12, 1996 American Magnetics, Inc. High temperature superconducting (HTS) current leads are important to products such as magnetic resonance imaging systems where they are used to minimize heat loads. However, the leads have virtually nonexistent current carrying capabilities while operating within magnetic fields, and they are fragile, br ...

Attempting to reduce cost and improvce performance, the development of GPS-inertial system continues. Several component tradeoffs are under consideration. We believe, however, that the system design should be included in the development. A modified configuration will bring excellent cost benefits. In addition, a problem exists with performance degradation of existing systems in the battlefiel ...

Bio Array Solutions (BAS) proposes to apply its novel platform technology of light-controlled Electrokinetic Assembly of Particles near Surfaces (LEAPS) to develop an analytical system in a planar, "on-chip" format. Combining AC (and/or DC) electric fields with interactive light control, LEAPS provides a tool set of fundamental operations to control the transport and positioning of particles and ...

As a leading company in computer aided design of microwave and high-speed electronics, Compact Software in collaboration with the Naval Research Laboratory's InP device development team, is interested in developing a much needed Physics-based simulation tool for Inp-based HEMTs and HBTS. We will develop and validate state-of-the-art HEMTs and HBTs models and combine them into our commercially avai ...

Control of trailing vortex wakes is an important challenge for both military and civilian applications. Ingestion of concentrated vortices in propellers can lead to undesirable noise in submarines, while the encounter of aircraft wakes with following aircraft presents a significant safety hazard that limits capacity at all major U.S. airports. This proposal involves an assessment of the feasibilit ...

40941 November 18, 1996 Delta M Corporation Nuclear systems, including high power accelerators and fission and fusion power plants, rely on diagnostic sensors and probes to monitor and control operation. A problem common with these systems is their lack of reliability when subjected to intense radiation. For example, it is common for thermocouples to pre ...
