COIL STRUCTURES FOR ENERGY STORAGE WHICH ARE FABRICATED BY NOVEL TECHNIQUES FOR ACHIEVING MAXIMUM STRENGTH AND ENERGY DENSITY, AND WHICH LEND THEMSELVES TO THE USE OF NEW HIGH-STRENGTH COMPOSITES. ONE TYPE OF STRUCTURE COMPRISES STACKED SPIRAL PANCAKE MODULES WOUND FROM REINFORCED BAR STOCK OR MACHINED FROM SOLID SLABS, WITH INSULATION INSTALLED AFTER THE CONDUCTOR HAS BEEN FORMED, MACHINED AND HE ...

PULSED POWER CONDITIONING FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC LAUNCHER SYSTEMS REQUIRES FAST-ACTING RHEOSTATS (MODULATORS) WITH ENOUGH THERMAL INERTIA TO ABSORB TENS OF MEGAJOULES ADIABATICALLY WITHIN MILLISECONDS, AND ENOUGH COOLING CAPABILITY TO DISSIPATE THE ABSORBED ENERGY BETWEEN LAUNCHES. ONE UNEXPLORED CLASS OF DEVICES FOR ACCOMPLISHING THIS ARE MODERN VERSIONS OF THE CLASSIC CARBON PILE RHEOSTAT, IN WHICH ...

CHLORINATED AROMATIC HYDROCARBON (CAH) MAKE UP A LARGE FRACTION OF THE ORGANIC CHEMICALS DESIGNATED AS TOXIC. THEY FORM THE BASIS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF PESTICIDES, FUNGICIDES AND HERBICIDES; USUALLY END UP IN DILUTE CONCENTRATIONS IN WASTE WATER STREAMS RESULTING FROM THE MANUFACTURE AND/OR USE OF THE MATERIALS; PERSIST IN THE BIOSPHERE AS A RESULT OF THEIR SLOW BIODEGRADABILITY; AND CONCENTRATE I ...

SILICON IS THE SEMICONDUCTOR THAT IS PRESENTLY MOST GENERALLY USED IN THE UNITED STATES AND WORLDWIDE FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC (PV) DEVICES, POWER DEVICES, AND INTEGRATED CIRCUIT (IC) TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS. A PROBLEM WHICH IS COMMONLY NOTED IS THE PRESENCE OF UNWANTED IMPURITIES IN THE SINGLE-CRYSTAL SILICON MATERIAL IN WHICH THE DEVICES ARE FABRICATED. ASIDE FROM HEAVY METALS, WHICH ARE GENERALLY REDUC ...

RECENT PROMISING DEVELOPMENTS IN THE PETROLEUM INDUSTRY "PROFILE MODIFICATION TECHNOLOGY" (PMT) WILL BE EVALUATED FOR THEIR APPLICATION TO LEAKING LANDFILL SITES. PROFILE FLOW MODIFICATION TREATMENTS ARE USED TO INCREASE FLOW RESISTANCE IN HIGH PERMEABILITY AREAS FAR (75 FEET TO AS MUCH AS 1000 FEET) FROM THE INJECTION WELLBORE. THESE TREATMENTS CAN WITHSTAND FORMATION PRESSURES AND TEMPERATURES U ...

ENVIRONMENTAL INSTRUMENTS, INC. (EII) PROPOSES TO CONDUCT ADVANCED ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT OF ITS MODEL 200M SOLID STATE (NO MOVING PARTS) WIND VELOCITY AND WIND DIRECTION MEASUREMENT SYSTEM WITH THE OBJECTIVE OF ADAPTING THE SYSTEM FOR OPERATION IN A NAVAL ENVIRONMENT.THIS ADVANCED ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT WILL INCLUDE MODIFICATION NECESSARY TO PASS ELECTRO-MAGNETIC INTERFERENCE TESTS, INTERROGATI ...

A LONG-RANGE AIM OF THIS PROPOSED WORK IS TO DEVELOP A CLINICAL TEST BASED ON PATTERNS OF NEUROTRANSMITTERS (MONOAMINES, PEPTIDES/PRECURSORS, METABOLITES, AND CONJUGATES) WHICH CAN BE USED TO GUIDE AND DEVELOP THERAPY AND PREDICT OUTCOME IN PATIENTS WITH TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA (TGM) AND OTHER FORMS OF FACIAL PAIN. NEW TECHNOLOGY INTERFACING UP TO 32 MULTIPLE ELECTRODE SENSORS WITH LIQUID CHROMATOGRA ...

NON-MAGNETIC UNLINED ALUMINUM ENGINE BLOCKS ARE CURRENTLY FEASIBLE IN GASOLINE ENGINES, BUT NOT FOR DIESELS, WHERE PRESSURE LOADINGS AT THE FOR DIESELS, WHERE PRESSURE LOADINGS AT THE NOVEL VENTILATED BAND SEAL APPROACH WILL SOLVE THAT PROBLEM,AND WILL ALSO REDUCE FUEL CONSUMPTION IN ANY PISTON DRIVEN DEVICE. FEATURES INCLUDE: POSITIVE CONTACT FOR LOW LEAKAGE AND DIRT EXCLUSION, A VENTILATED FACE ...
