THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP AN ANEMOMETER TO MEASURE THE MEAN WIND SPEED BETWEEN TWO POINTS ON THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH SEPARATED BY TENS OF METERS TO TENS OF KILOMETERS. THE TERRAIN BETWEEN THE POINTS NEED NOT BE ACCESSIBLE AND MAY BE WATER, LAND, OR BOTH. THE SYSTEM USESTHE MICROWAVE SCINTILLATION TECHNIQUE, WHICH MAY ALSO HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO MEASURE THE CONCENTRATION OF SOME ATM ...

The U.S. and many other countries have regulations preventing importation of horticultural commodities that have not been treated by an approved quarantine method insuring 100% mortality of specified insect pests. Intermodal hypobaric (LP= low pressure) containers may be able to provide this benefit directly and residue-free, replacing the prevailing methods of chemical fumigation and hot water tr ...

The proposed study will involve engineering evaluations, manufacturing and quality planning reviews and documentation preparation for the development of a Source Approval Request package from a Government-supplied TDP or a reverse engineering exercise to present to the Engineering Support Activity at DLA in the expectations of winning awards to begin Low Rate Production on the subject NSN componen ...

APPLICATION OF MULTI-TERMINAL NETWORK THEORY TO VIBRATION PROBLEMS REQUIRES KNOWLEDGE OF THE POINT AND POINT-TO-POINT MECHANICAL ADMITTANCE MATRICES AT THE MECHANICAL TERMINALS OF THE STRUCTURES TO BE CONNECTED TOGETHER. THE ADMITTANCE MATRICES CONTAIN ELEMENTS RELATING LINEAL MOTIONS AND FORCES(LINEAL ADMITTANCES), LINEAL MOTIONS AND MOMENTS (LINEAL/ ROTATIONAL ADMITTANCES), ROTATIONAL MOTIONS AN ...

THE OVERALL OBJECTIVE OF THE PHASE I PROGRAM IS TO DEMONSTRATE THE FEASIBILITY OF NEWLY DEVELOPED ADVANCED PERMEABLE MEMBRANES FOR THE COMBINED DUTIES ON MILITARY AIRCRAFT OF NITROGEN GENERATION TO INERT FUEL TANKS AND OXYGEN GENERATION FOR PILOT BREATHING IN A UNIQUE SYSTEM ARRANGEMENT. THESE COMPACT AND LIGHTWEIGHT MEMBRANES LEND THEMSELVES TO A MORE EFFICIENT OBIGGS/OBOGS DESIGN COMBINATION THA ...

MEASUREMENT OF VELOCITY FIELDS AND FLOW RATES IS OF PRIME IMPORTANCE IN MANY AREAS OF INDUSTRY AND FLUID DYNAMICS RESEARCH. THE RESEARCH PROPOSED HEREIN WOULD RESULT IN A NONINTRUSIVE MEANS OF DETERMINING THE MAGNITUDE AND DIRECTION OF VELOCITY AND THE CORRESPONDING FLOW RATES BY THE USE OF LASER TOMOGRAPHY. LASER TOMOGRAPHY MAKES USE OF THE FACT THAT, FOR PROPERLY TUNED LASERS, THE DECAY OF LASER ...

NO METHODS EXIST WORLDWIDE TO TEST MAJOR BUILDINGS, IN-PLACEAND AS CONSTRUCTED, TO EARTHQUAKE MOTION-TIME HISTORIES UP TO AND INCLUDING DAMAGE AND COLLAPSE LEVELS. TESTING COMPLETE CIVIL STRUCTURES AT SIGNIFICANT EARTHQUAKE LEVELS CAN PROVIDE MUCH NEEDED INFORMATION FOR PROTECTION AGAINST BUILDING FAILURES, AND IN TURN TO IMPROVE HUMAN SECURITY ANDSAFETY. PHASE I RESEARCH IS TO FIND THE FEASIBILIT ...
