A UNIQUE HIGH TEMPERATURE, HIGH PRESSURE GASEOUS PHOTOCHEMICAL REACTOR WITH OPTICAL AND MASS SPECTROMETRIC SPECIES DETECTION CAPABILITIES WILL BE DESIGNED. THE PROPOSED DESIGN, UTILIZING AEROCHEM'S EXPERIENCE IN CONSTRUCTING AND USING SIMILAR APPARATUS, WILL EXCEED THE UPPER TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS GIVEN IN THE SOLICITATION IN ORDER TO GIVE THE INSTRUMENT GREATER UTILITY. ALTERNATE ...

ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NO INTRINSIC CONFLICTS FOR THE SAME MATERIAL SYSTEMS TO ACHIEVE BOTH THE RADAR ABSORPTION AND THERMAL SUPPRESSION CHARACTERISTICS THERE EXISTS NO COMMERCIAL PRODUCT THAT HAS THE DESIRED DUAL PROPERTIES. A THEORETICAL CALCULATION ON THE FEASIBILITY OF SEVERAL PROPOSED MATERIAL SYSTEMS WILL BE PERFORMED. THE CALCULATIONS ARE BASED ON A MEAN FIELD THEORY FOR DIELECTRIC PROPERTIES. ...

MAKING ACCURATE AUTOMATED ON-WAFER MEASUREMENTS OF MILLIMETER-WAVE SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES AND CIRCUIT ELEMENTS IS A FUNDAMENTAL REQUIREMENT FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF A MILLIMETER-WAVE TECHNOLOGY. MILLIMETER-WAVE WAFER PROBE DEVELOPMENT IS REQUIRED. PRESENTLY ON-WAFER PROBING IS AVAILABLE ONLY TO 26.5 GHZ. HOWEVER, SIGNIFICANT INNOVATIONS ARE REQUIRED TO EXTEND THIS CAPABILITY OF HIGHER FREQUENCIES. TH ...

The integration of NIRS measures with EEG could be a significant advance in rapid detection and continuous monitoring of cerebral dysfunction following traumatic brain injury. We have developed a dense array EEG system that can be applied rapidly in the field environment. We have developed a prototype NIRS brain imaging system that can be integrated with the EEG system, in both sparse and dense ar ...

ENVIRONMENTAL DIAGNOSTICS, INC. PROPOSED TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF APPLYING ITS NEW INNOVATIVE HAPTEN TECHNOLOGY TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF IMMUNORECEPTORS FOR DETECTION AND ASSAY OF BIOLOGICAL TOXINS. THE NEW HAPTEN RECEPTOR TECHNOLOGY OVERCOMES PREVIOUS SCIENTIFIC LIMITATIONS AND TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES IN DEVELOPING IMMUNOASSAYS FOR HIGHLYTOXIC, LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT PROTEIN TOXINS. TO DATE, THE ...

THE PROJECT WILL BE DEVOTED TO SELECTING AN OPTIMUM CONFIGURATION AND RUNNING 1/4 SCALE MODEL TESTS OF A ROGALLO TYPE WING. THE WING WILL HAVE HIGHER THAN USUAL ASPECT RATIOS FOR ROGALLO WINGS, AND WILL BE AIR DEPLOYABLE. A CONTROL SYSTEM TO AUTOMATICALLY LAND THE VEHICLE WILL BE DEVELOPED. FINAL DESIGN OF A FULL SCALE VEHICLE WILL BE DELIVERED.

MOST GUNN DIODE OSCILLATOR APPLICATIONS CURRENTLY EMPLOY A DISCRETE GUNN DIODE EMBEDDED INTO EITHER A HYBRID OR A WAVEGUIDE MATCHING CIRCUIT. NEXT GENERATION MILITARY SYSTEMS WOULD BENEFIT FROM A MONOLITHIC DESIGN WHICH INCORPORATES THE GUNN DIODE AND ITS ASSOCIATED MATCHING CIRCUITRY ONTO ONE GAAS SUBSTRATE. THIS APPROACH OFFERS SEVERAL ADVANTAGES WHICH INCLUDE LOWER UNIT COST, BETTER REPRODUCIBI ...

CURRENT FUZES FOR CARGO DISPENSING PROJECTILES CAN ALSO BE FITTED WITH A HIGH EXPLOSIVE (HE) BOOSTER PELLET AND USED TO INITIATE HE BURSTER TYPE PROJECTILES. ITI PROPOSES TO DEVELOP A SHAPE CHARGE FUZE THAT WILL DETONATE BOTH PROJECTILES. THE PHASE I EFFORT WILL INCLUDE ANALYSIS OF THE EXISTING PROJECTILE CONFIGURATIONS AND EXPLOSIVE/PROPELLANT CONTENT, SELECTION OF A SUITABLE SHAPE CHARGE CONFIGU ...
