COAL TAR IS A BY-PRODUCT OF THE COAL GASIFICATION PROCESS USED WIDELY BETWEEN 1820 AND 1950 TO PRODUCE A NATURAL GAS SUBSTITUTE. DURING THAT TIME, BILLIONS OF GALLONS OF TAR WERE PRODUCED AT MORE THAN 1500 GAS MANUFACTURING FACILITIESLOCATED THROUGHOUT THE U.S. A LARGE PORTION OF THIS WASTE TAR REMAINS IN STORAGE OR WAS DISPOSED OF BY INJECTION INTO SUBSURFACE SITES. COAL TAR IS A MIXTURE OF HYDRO ...

PRIVATE INVESTMENTS IN TRANSPORTATION CAN BE PROFITABLE. THE HORIZONTAL DEVELOPMENT PROCESS (HDP), EMPLOYING A SPECIALIZED FORM OF PEOPLE-MOVER AS A HORIZONTAL ELEVATOR (H*E), MAXIMIZES THE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL, REDUCES THE RISK OF HIGH COSTS OR LOW INVESTMENT RETURN. AN HDP GUIDE WITH INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL APPRAISALS INCLUDING PROFORMA DATA AND PRELIMINARY UTAG (URBAN TRANSPORTATION ACTION GRANT ...

RECENT ASSESSMENTS ESTIMATE U.S. CROP LOSSES FROM ELEVATED OZONE LEVEL AND OTHER OXIDANTS (SULFUR DIOXIDE, NITROGEN DIOXIDE) TO BE AS MUCH AS $5 BILLION ANNUALLY. ADDITIONALLY,SEVERE FOREST DAMAGE MAY RESULT FROMPOLLUTION-RELATED OXI- DANTS PARTICULARLY IN EUROPE WHERE THERE HAS BEEN A DRAMATICDECLINE IN FOREST ECOSYSTEMS OVER THE PAST SIX YEARS. THIS RESEARCH IS DIRECTED AT THE MITIGATION OF SUCH ...

THIS PROJECT IS BASED ON THE BELIEF THAT AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLTRAINING IS INDEED A TASK THAT COULD BENEFIT GREATLY FROM THE ADDITION OF SPEECH TECHNOLOGY. THIS PROPOSAL IS ALSO BASED ON THE BELIEF THAT THIS APPLICATION REQUIRES VERY CAREFUL INTEGRATION BEING AWARE OF THE SPECIFIC LIMITATIONS AND CAPABILITIES OF THE AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGIES. WE OFFER BOTH EXTENSIVE RESEARCH EXPERIENCE WITH AIR TRAFFICC ...

TWO YEARS AGO IT WAS EXPERIMENTALLY SHOWN THAT CHARGED WATERDROPLETS COULD KNOCK-DOWN SMOKE RAPIDLY. WE NOW PROPOSE TO TO DEVELOP A DEVICE WHICH USES A CHRGED FINELY POWERED SOLIDAEROSOL TO KNOCK-DOWN SMOKE. USING A SOLID INSTEAD OF A LIQUID AEROSOL HAS SIGNIFICANT ADVANTAGES. THE SOLID PART ICLES CAN BE PRE-FORMED IN A READY-TO-USE STATE. PARTICLE SIZE CAN BE RIGOROUSLY CONTROLLED AND HAVE OPTIMU ...

RECENT PROMISING DEVELOPMENTS IN THE PETROLEUM INDUSTRY "PROFILE MODIFICATION TECHNOLOGY" (PMT) WILL BE EVALUATED FOR THEIR APPLICATION TO LEAKING LANDFILL SITES. PROFILE FLOW MODIFICATION TREATMENTS ARE USED TO INCREASE FLOW RESISTANCE IN HIGH PERMEABILITY AREAS FAR (75 FEET TO AS MUCH AS 1000 FEET) FROM THE INJECTION WELLBORE. THESE TREATMENTS CAN WITHSTAND FORMATION PRESSURES AND TEMPERATURES U ...

DUE TO THE IMPROVED MECHNICAL PROPERTIES AND DURABILITY OF POLYMER CONCRETE MATERIALS, THERE IS A LOT OF INTEREST IN INTHE HIGHWAY COMMUNITY FOR USE OF THESE MATERIALS FOR PAV PAVEMENT APPLICATIONS. BUT THERE IS NO INFORMATION AVAILABLEABOUT ITS APPLICATION FOR AIRPORT RUNWAY USE. PANDALAI COATINGS COMPANY PROPOSES TO TAKE UP A STUDY OF POLYMER CONCRETE MATERIALS TO EVALUATE ITS FEASIBILITY AS AN ...

USE OF PULSED ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION IS PROPOSED AS A MEANS TTO DETOXIFY EQUIPMENT USED IN THE PREPARATION OF TOXIC CH CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS. THE RADIATION WILL SERVE TO BOTH V VAPORIZE MATERIAL ADHERING TO THE SURFACE AS WELL AS TO BRING ABOUT PHOTOLYTIC DESTRUCTION. THIS COMBINATION OF EFFEFFECT IS PROJECTED TO PROVIDE A DRY CLEANING CONCEPT WHERE THE TOXIC MATERIAL AND ITS BYPRODUCTS (POTENTIALLY T ...
