WE PROPOSE TO DESIGN AND SIMULATE A MASSIVELY PARALLEL DATA COMPRESSION SYSTEM FOR WIDE BAND VIDEO THAT IS CAPABLE OF PROCESSING DATA STREAMS OF 1 BILLION BITS PER SECOND IN REAL TIME. THE WORK PROPOSED HERE PROVIDES THE BASIS FOR A SUBSEQUENT PHASE II PROPOSAL TO BUILD THIS HARDWARE. ANTICIPATED BENEFITS/POTENTIAL COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS - HIGH SPEED COMMUNICATIONS, MASS DATA STORAGE. KEY WORDS - ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PHASE I RESEARCH IS TO DETERMINE THE TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LONG RANGE RADIOACTIVE PLUME TRANSPORT MODEL/CODE FOR THE NRC. THIS CODE WOULD BE USED TO SIMULATE THE MOVEMENT, DISPERSION, DECAY, AND DEPOSITION OF RADIONUCLIDES RELEASED FROM SEVERE NUCLEAR REACTOR ACCIDENTS, SUCH AS THE CHERNOBYL ACCIDENT. IT IS DESIRED THAT ALL RELEVANT PHYSICAL AND CHEMICA ...

IN ORDER TO ENHANCE THE PERFORMANCE OF CONVENTIONAL WEAPONS SYSTEMS, THERE IS A NEED FOR PROPELLANTS AND EXPLOSIVES WHICH ARE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE POWERFUL AND LESS SENSITIVE THAN THOSE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. BECAUSE OF THE HIGH DENSITIES AND HIGH STRAIN ENERGIES CHARACTERISTIC OF SMALL CAGE MOLECULES, POLYNITRO CAGE COMPOUNDS ARE PRIME CANDIDATES FOR NEW POWERFUL EXPLOSIVES. PARTICULARLY INTERESTING ...

MICRO-ELECTRONIC FABRICATION TECHNOLOGIES HAVE RECENTLY BEEN APPLIED TO PRODUCE NOVEL MICRO-MECHANICAL DEVICES SUCH AS MOTORS, SENSORS, AND ACTUATORS. THEIR SMALL SIZE AND EASY INTEGRATION WITH MICROELECTRONICS INVITE INNOVATIVE RESEARCH, BUT THUS FAR FEW USEFUL APPLICATION CONCEPTS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED. ONE DEVICE WITH WIDESPREAD APPLICATION WOULD BE AN ELECTRICALLY SUSPENDED MICRO-GYROSCOPE. THE ...
