FORE SYSTEMS PROPOSES TO DEVELOP A GIGABIT-SPEED LOCAL-AREA NETWORK BASED ON THE ATM (ASYNCHRONOUS TRANSFER MODE) STANDARD. ATM IS A NEW TELECOMMUNICATIONS STANDARD THAT IS THE BASIS FOR THE FORTHCOMING WORLDWIDE BROADBAND INTEGRATED SERVICES DIGITAL NETWORK (B-ISDN). THE ATM STANDARDF IS ALSO ATTRACTIVE FOR LOCAL-AREA NETWORKS BECAUSE IT IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT HIGH-SPEED MULTI-MEDIA COMMUNICATION ...

THE PROJECT IS AIMED AT DEVELOPING A NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR PRINTED INTEGRATED FABRICATION OF ELECTROMECHANICAL SYSTEMS (INCLUDING MULTI-LAYER ELECTRIC CIRCUT BOARDS AS WELL AS OPTOELECTROMECHANICAL DEVICES SUCH AS AIRCRAFT/VEHICLE INSTRUMENT PANELS) AS A MONOLITHIC OBJECT USING A FAST LOW-COST AUTOMATABLE PROCESS THAT IS HIGHLY EFFICIENT FOR PROTOTYPING. THE PROCESS IS BASED ON SOLIDIFICATION OF LIQU ...

The objective of this Phase I is to demonstrate the use of Reactive Nanoparticles (RNP) for the decontamination/sterilization of biological agents and their mimics. Recent studies have shown that RNPs are very effective for chemical agent decontamination at ambient or higher temperature. Examples include paraoxon, VX, half mustard and HD. RNPs themselves are generally made of non-toxic magnesiu ...

Chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) is an emerging process technology that planarizes the dielectric in multi-layer interconnect structures during integrated circuit (IC) fabrication. CMP is an important technology to support multilayer interconnect. Since the results of CMP is dependent on the topography of the chip, systematic spatial variations due to layout pattern dependencies are, today, u ...

This SBIR Phase I project will investigate the feasibility of an improved control strategy for piezoelectric positioners used in scanned-probe microscopes (SPMs) to increase their speed and reliability for nanocharacterization. Rapid nanocharacterization requires fast motion of the scanned piezo probe with sub-Angstrom vertical resolution and with frequent rapid changes in its axial position. Se ...
