BY UTILIZMG MAGNETORESISTIVE RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY (MRAM) IN COMBINATION WITH SENSOR TECHNOLOGIES, NVE WILL DESIGN A COMPLETE DATA GATHERING AND STORAGE SYSTEM FOR AIRCRAFT TRANSPARENCY SYSTEMS WHICH WILL RECORD OPERATIONAL DATA DURING FLIGHT AS WELL AS DURING SHIPPING AND STORAGE. FABRICATION AND ASSEMBLY INFORMATION CAN EITHER BE ENTERED AFTER MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS ARE COMPLETE, OR DURING THE ...

The measurement of infrared spectra can develop the composition and temperature of a target object. It can also determine the concentration of gases along a measurement path, or the size of particles or thin films. An excellent way to rapidly obtain spectra is with a Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer which allows detection of all regions of the spectrum simultaneously. What's new is ...

New cell concepts using better magnetoresistive material will make Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MRAM) denser for the same lithography than other semiconductor solid state memories such as DRAM, EEPROM, and flash, while retaining the advantages of both nonvolatility (saving data with no power) and durability (with infinite write- and read-cycling). Area densities of ten thousand million b ...

Inside Out vs Outside In! It seems reasonable to hypothesize that the pilot of an air vehicle will feel more in harmony with the actions of his vehicle when he is at the relative "origin" of the coordinate frame of reference of that vehicle ... and will respond more quickly and with greater accuracy, precision, and efficiency. Experience teaches that this occurs for a piot when utilizing an "insid ...

TO BE SUCCESSFUL THE C31 COMMUNITY HAS A NEED FOR SECURE, EFFICIENT COMPUTER SYSTEMS THAT SUPPORT THEIR MISSION. AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF CURRENT SYSTEMS IS THE NERWORK GUARD. SEVERAL GUARDS CURRENTLY DEPLOYED ALLOW TRANSFERS OF INFORMATION FROM LOW SECURITY LEVELS TO HIGH SECURITY LEVELS, BUT NO GENERAL PURPOSE GUARDS ARE AVAILABLE THAT ALLOW TRANSFERS FROM HIGH TO LOW. SCTC PROPOSES TO DEVELOP A ...

This proposal describes an approach for applying existing composibility techniques to analyze complex, multilevel secure (MLS) systems. Although there has been significant progress in developing composibility techniques, there is little experience with using these techniques. Thus, the set of problems to which the techniques are applicable and the amount of effort required to apply the techniques ...

WHEN MULTIPLE PROCESSORS ARE RUNNING POTENTIALLY HOSTILE CODE THERE IS A VERY REAL THREAT OF CONVERT CHANNELS. THIS THREAT HAS PREVENTED HIGHLY ASSURES SYSTEM FROM USING MULTIPLE PROCESSORS IN AN EFFICIENT MANNER. THE PROPOSAL WILL EXAMINE THE MULTIPROCESSOR ISSUE AND DEVELOP COUNTERMEASURES TO THE CONVERT CHANNELS. SECURE COMPUTING CORPORATION HAS EXPERIENCE WITH CONVERT CHANNEL DETECTION TECHNIQ ...

WE PROPOSE TO INVESTIGATE THE FEASIBILITY OF A FAMILY OF NOVEL MAGNETIC CRYOCOOLERS. IN THE PROPOSED TECHNOLOGY, MAGNETIC WORKING MEDIA MADE OF APPROPRIATE HIGH TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTORS ARE USED. WHEN THE SUPERCONDUCTOR IS QUENCHED OR PARTIALLY QUENCHED IN A MAGNETIC FIELD, DECOUPLING OF THE CHARGE-CARRIER-PAIRS CAUSES A TEMPERATURE DROP IN THE SUPERCONDUCTOR. IN OTHER WORDS, AN "INVERSE MAGNET ...

We propose two novel sources for improved carbon and tellurium dopants in MBE growth for III-V compounds semiconductors where heavy doping is required. The compact carbon source is electron beam heated and has a very fast thermal response. It is expected that increased monatomic carbon species in the flux would improve the dopant behavior. The tellurium source produces ionized species which would ...
