ION BEAM FIGURING TECHNIQUES WILL BE APPLIED TO FIGURE ASPHERE OPTICAL ELEMENTS. A MIRROR WILL BE ASPHERIZED TO REMOVE THE R(0)6 ZERNIKE CONTRIBUTION TO CORRECT FOR THIRD-ORDER AND FIFTH-ORDER SPHERICAL ABBERRATION AND DEFOCUS. IN ADDITION, A PHASE CORRECTION PLATE WITH THE SAME OPTICAL CORRECTION WILL BE INVESTIGATED FOR FABRICATION. SIMULATED ION BEAM FIGURING OF MORE COMPLEX ELEMENTS WILL BE IN ...

ECONOMICAL METHODS OF REMOVING AND/OR RECOVERING DISSOLVED ORGANICS OR METALS FROM WATER ARE NECESSARY FOR US INDUSTRIAL COMPETITIVENESS. ALSO, FIRMS SPECIALIZING IN HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL AND POLLUTION CONTROL WILL BE A MAJOR AREA OF INDUSTRIAL GROWTH IN THE US. MICELLAR-ENHANCED ULTRAFILTRATION (MEUF) IS A NEW PROCESS WHICH CAN REMOVE DISSOLVED ORGANICS AND MULTIVALENT METAL IONS FROM WATER. I ...

N/A

THE COMBINATION OF GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY WITH MASS SPECTROMETRY(GC/MS) PROVIDES THE BEST GENERAL PURPOSE ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENT FOR SENSITIVE CHARACTERIZATION OF COMPLEX MIXTURES. IT IS USED IN THE FIELDS OF CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY, GEOCHEMISTRY, ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND FORENSICS. IN MOST CASES, THE GAS CHROMATOGRAPH SEPARATES THE STARTING MIXTURE INTO ITS CONSTITUENT COMPOUNDS PRIOR TO ANALYSIS BY THE M ...

KMSF PROPOSES TO DEVELOP A REAL-TIME DISPLAY CAPABLE OF HOLOGRAPHICALLY PROJECTING A 3-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE. DURING THE PHASE I EFFORT, KMS WILL RESEARCH AND EXAMINE THE LIMITATIONS OF THE STATE-OF-THE-ART, ANALYZE EXISTING ELECTRONIC HOLOGRAPHY SYSTEMS, DESIGN A MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF A PROJECTED HOLOGRAPHIC DISPLAY FOR HOLOGRAPHIC STEREOGRAMS AND DEVELOP AN OPTIMIZED DESIGN FOR A HOLOGRAPHIC AUTO-ST ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED WORK IS TO APPLY RADIATION TRANSPORT METHODS DEVELOPED TO STUDY CONTROLLED FUSION TO SIMULATE THE REFLECTION OF LIGHT IN COMPUTER GRAPHICS. VIEWFACTOR METHODS HAVE RECENTLY BEEN APPLIED TO THE STUDY OF TIME DEPENDENT RADIATION TRANSPORT IN ENCLOSURES. CODES DEVELOPED AT KMS FUSION, INC. (KMS) HAVE THE ABILITY, BELIEVED UNIQUE FOR VIEW FACTOR CODES, OF SOLVING TIME DEP ...

MRC PROPOSES TO DEVELOP A SAFETY PERFORMANCE INDICATOR (PI) OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC (EM) PROTECTION STATUS OF A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT (NPP). WE BELIEVE THAT SUCH A PI IS NEEDED BECAUSE: (1) EM ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION IS ON THE INCREASE,(2) ADDITIONAL EM THREATS MUST BE EVALUATED, AND (3) DISRUPTION OF NPP OPERATIONS BY EM EFFECTS CAN AND MUST BE AVOIDED. PREVIOUS STUDIES HAVE ADDRESSED THE ISSUE OF E ...
