THE WASTE HEAT EXCHANGER IS OFTEN THE LARGEST SINGLE COMPONENT IN DIESEL-EXHAUST POWERED AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS, AND ON ACCOUNT OF ITS HIGH MATERIAL CONTENT, IS OFTEN THE HEAVIEST AND MOST COSTLY AS WELL. THE NEED EXISTS FOR A HEAT EXCHANGER DESIGN AND FABRICATION TECHNIQUE WHICH IS COMPACT AND LIGHTWEIGHT, RESISTS FOULING FROM EXHAUST GASES, IS EASILY CLEANED, USES INEXPENSIVE MATERIALS, AND IS ...

The XA2 gasoline burner is widely used by the military to meet a variety of food preparation and heating requirements in the field. Because of the trend toward an single-fuel Army vehicle fleet and away from gasoline as a general purpose fuel, a diesel/JPS fueled burner is sorely needed. A recently developed catalytic vapor generator together with the proposed metal-hydride preheater should prov ...

THE RECENT DISCOVERY OF SUPERCONDUCTIVITY AT HIGH TEMPERATURE (90 DEG K) IN COPPER CONTAINING CERAMICS HAS RESULTED IN A RAPID ACCELERATION IN SUPERCONDUCTOR RESEARCH. PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES ARE BEING EXAMINED FOR THE FABRICATION OF BULK AND THIN FILM SAMPLES. THE CURRENTLY USED PROCESSES FOR MAKING THIN FILMS OF SUPERCONDUCTORS ARE PRIMARILY LIMITED TO EXPENSIVE, SMALL SCALE, LABORATORY TECHNIQUES ...

THE WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE GAMMA RAY FACILITY IS USED TO QUALIFY MILITARY EQUIPMENT FOR RADIATION HARDNESS. ISOTOPIC SOURCES OF 60 CO AND 137 CS ARE USED TO PRODUCE INTENSE GAMMA RAY FIELDS THAT ALLOW TESTING OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS IN ENVIRONMENTS THAT APPROXIMATE ANTICIPATED NUCLEAR BATTLEFIELD CONDITIONS. RECENTLY IT HAS BECOME CLEAR THAT DOSE ENHANCEMENT EFFECTS PRODUCED BY A LOW ENERGY COMPO ...

Network surveys hold great promise for information and data gathering, and would allow almost instantaneous access to large and diverse populations. Although there is a mature literature on survey methodology in other media, little is known about how networks might interact with survey processes or impact response accuracy. ALPHATECH proposes to analyze existing survey literature to identify cri ...
