THE GROWING NEED FOR GEOMETRIC MODELING INFIELDS RANGING FROM CAD/CAM TO MATHEMATICAL MODELING HAS NESSECITATED RELIABLE INTERSECTIONS OF NOT ONLY SURFACES IN 3-SPACE BUT, MORE GENERALLY, ARBITRARY SUBMANIFOLDS OF EUCLIDEAN SPACES OF HIGHER DIMENSIONALITY. PURELY ALGORITHMIC METHODS BASED ON DISCRETIZATION OF THE INTERSECTING SHAPES OR THE IMBEDDING SPACE TEND TO BE UNRELIABLE. ON THE OTHER HAND, ...

A VERY CONSISTANT GEOPHYSICAL MODEL OF ELECTRICAL ANOMALIES OVER OIL AND GAS FIELDS HAS EMERGED FROM OVER SEVEN YEARS (1500 LINE-KILOMETERS OF COVERAGE IN OVER 30 DIFFERENT BASINS IN THE U.S. AND CANADA) OF RESEARCH. THE TYPICAL ELECTRICAL RESPONSE OBSERVED OVER A HYDROCARBON ACCUMULATION IS A LOW-RESISTIVITY VERTICAL COLUMN OR PLUME WHICH EXTENDS FROM THE TRAP TO, OR VERY CLOSE TO, THE SURFACE. T ...

The objective will be to develop and demonstrate CNT based composites that will prove the feasibility for utilizing the new high performance ultra-lightweight and high strength materials for Liquid Rocket Engine nozzle extensions and Solid Rocket Motor exit cones. These new composites will be tested during this Phase I program, including tests for physical properties at 800oF in oxygen rich envir ...

Hyperion has direct applicability to Air Force operations and intelligence missions. Specifically, Hyperion can be an immediate and substantial force multiplier to all ISR and AOC missions by shifting the traditional Common Operational Picture (COP) of current activities to one that is a future forecast of the operational environment. As this is a paradigm shift in the way AOCs operate we believe ...

The goal of the Somewear Tactical Satellite Platform SBIR is to provide airmen with increased situational awareness and information to improve safety and operational efficiency, especially in SERE scenarios. Somewear does this by providing a tactical satellite communication device that interfaces with a modern smartphone and can securely and reliably share personal location information, text messa ...

A NEED EXISTS FOR INNOVATIVE BEARING CONCEPTS THAT MAY BE EMPLOYED IN TURBINE ENGINES AND OTHER LARGE ROTATING EQUIPMENT. THESE BEARING CONCEPTS WILL ALLOW HIGHER ROTATIONAL SPEED, HIGHER RELIABILITY, BETTER CONTROL OF MACHINE DYNAMICS AND A GENERAL IMPROVEMENT IN THE MACHINE PERFORMANCE EFFICIENCY. MAGNETIC BEARINGS HAVE FOUND APPLICATION IN MANY AREAS REQUIRING MODEST PERFORMANCE LEVELS. SUPERCO ...
