ENVIRONMENTAL DIAGNOSTICS, INC. PROPOSED TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF APPLYING ITS NEW INNOVATIVE HAPTEN TECHNOLOGY TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF IMMUNORECEPTORS FOR DETECTION AND ASSAY OF BIOLOGICAL TOXINS. THE NEW HAPTEN RECEPTOR TECHNOLOGY OVERCOMES PREVIOUS SCIENTIFIC LIMITATIONS AND TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES IN DEVELOPING IMMUNOASSAYS FOR HIGHLYTOXIC, LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT PROTEIN TOXINS. TO DATE, THE ...

THE PROJECT WILL BE DEVOTED TO SELECTING AN OPTIMUM CONFIGURATION AND RUNNING 1/4 SCALE MODEL TESTS OF A ROGALLO TYPE WING. THE WING WILL HAVE HIGHER THAN USUAL ASPECT RATIOS FOR ROGALLO WINGS, AND WILL BE AIR DEPLOYABLE. A CONTROL SYSTEM TO AUTOMATICALLY LAND THE VEHICLE WILL BE DEVELOPED. FINAL DESIGN OF A FULL SCALE VEHICLE WILL BE DELIVERED.

MOST GUNN DIODE OSCILLATOR APPLICATIONS CURRENTLY EMPLOY A DISCRETE GUNN DIODE EMBEDDED INTO EITHER A HYBRID OR A WAVEGUIDE MATCHING CIRCUIT. NEXT GENERATION MILITARY SYSTEMS WOULD BENEFIT FROM A MONOLITHIC DESIGN WHICH INCORPORATES THE GUNN DIODE AND ITS ASSOCIATED MATCHING CIRCUITRY ONTO ONE GAAS SUBSTRATE. THIS APPROACH OFFERS SEVERAL ADVANTAGES WHICH INCLUDE LOWER UNIT COST, BETTER REPRODUCIBI ...

CURRENT FUZES FOR CARGO DISPENSING PROJECTILES CAN ALSO BE FITTED WITH A HIGH EXPLOSIVE (HE) BOOSTER PELLET AND USED TO INITIATE HE BURSTER TYPE PROJECTILES. ITI PROPOSES TO DEVELOP A SHAPE CHARGE FUZE THAT WILL DETONATE BOTH PROJECTILES. THE PHASE I EFFORT WILL INCLUDE ANALYSIS OF THE EXISTING PROJECTILE CONFIGURATIONS AND EXPLOSIVE/PROPELLANT CONTENT, SELECTION OF A SUITABLE SHAPE CHARGE CONFIGU ...

PHOTOLYSIS HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A MEANS OF INITIATING AND ENHANCING GAS, LIQUID AND SOLID PHASE CHEMICAL REACTIVITY. A NUMBER OF RECENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR PHOTOCHEMICAL AUGMENTATION INVOLVE CHEMICAL SYSTEMS AT ELEVATED AND VARIABLE TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE. CONSEQUENTLY, THERE EXISTS THE NEED TO GATHER FUNDAMENTAL PHOTOCHEMICAL DATA UNDER THE SEVERE CONDITIONS ATTENDANT TO GAS PHASE EXPLOSIVES, A ...

PERFECT VIEW INC. AND THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR, DR. A. J. ATTAR, HAVE RECENTLY OBTAINED A PATENT ON A METHOD TO REMOVE MINERAL WATER FROM COAL BY FIRST TURNING ITS SURFACE HYDROPHOBIC (U.S. PATENT 4,597,769, ISSUED JULY 1ST, 1986). THE TREATMENT INVOLVES A VERY LOW-COST CHEMICAL REACTION WHICH CONVERTS THE HYDROXLIC AND CARBOXYLIC SURFACE FUNCTIONALITIES TO ETHERS AND ESTERS. THIS TREATMENT REDU ...

THE DESIGN OF PIN DIODE HAVE TRADITIONALLY BEEN CONDUCTED USING LINEARCIRCUIT ANALYSIS AND INVOLVED INCORPORATING OF THE DIODE INTO A LOW PASS STRUCTURE. THIS STUDY WILL IMPLEMENT THE COMPLETE PIN DIODE MODEL INTO THE SPICE SOURCE CODE AND WILL MAKE POSSIBLE THE LINEAR AND NON LINEAR ANALYSIS IN THE TIME DOMAIN AND FREQUENCY DOMAIN. IN THE TRANSIENT ANALYSIS THE SPIKE LEAKAGE AND FLAT LEAKAGE WILL ...

JAMMER POWER MANAGEMENT REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT EXPERTISE COVERING THE RECOGNITION OF OPPORTUNITIES, AND KNOWLEDGE OF EW SYSTEM CAPABILITIES SYSTEMS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE OPPORTUNITIES. THERE IS DOUBT THAT MANY OF THE FUNCTIONS OF JAMMER POWER MANAGEMENT CAN BE AUTOMATED. FOR EXAMPLE, ELECTROMAGNETIC PATTERN OPTIMIZATION IN THE SPACE, TIME, AND FREQUENCY DOMAINS, PARTICULARLY THE SELECTION OF FR ...
