AN ADVANCED, INNOVATIVE THREADED COMPOSITE FASTENER HAS BEEN DEVELOPED BY FIBER CONCEPT, INC. THE NOVEL 3-D FIBER ARCHITECTURE OF THE FASTENER PROVIDES FOR THE CONTINUITY OF THE REINFORCEMENT FIBER THROUGHOUT THE PART SO THAT ANY MACHINING THAT IS PERFORMED ON THE STOCK COMPOSITE DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE TRANSFER OF LONGITUDINAL AND TORSIONAL LOAD FROM THE THREADS TO THE BODY OF THE FASTENER. T ...

THE ABILITY TO MEASURE THE STRENGTH OF ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS IS OF EXTREME IMPORTANCE IN MANY AREAS. TODAY'S FREQUENCY SPECTRUM IS CROWDED. ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS ARE EVERYWHERE AND AT ALL FREQUENCIES. OF PARTICULAR IMPORTANCE IS THE MEASUREMENT OF FIELDS AT AN AIR/METAL BOUNDARY BECAUSE MUCH EQUIPMENT IS HOUSE IN METAL ENCLOSURES. SINCE BOTH ELECTRIC (E) AND MAGNETIC (H) FIELDS CAN EXIST AT THIS ...

LOCAL-AREA NETWORKS BASED ON THE INTERNATIONAL ATM (ASYNCHRONOUS TRANSFER MODE) STANDARD WILL PROVIDE HIGH-SPEED MULTI-MEDIA COMMUNICATION (DATA, AUDIO, AND VIDEOCOMMUNICATION OVER THE SAME NETWORK). THESE NETWORKS WILL HAVE TO BE BUILT USING FAST PACKET SWITCHES THAT CAN SWITCH THE VERY SMALL PACKETS SPECIFIED BY THE ATM STANDARD. FORE SYSTEMS PROPOSES TO INTERCONNECT MULTIPLE FAST PACKET SWITCHE ...

THIS PROPOSAL IS DIRECTED TOWARD THE PREPARATION OF SOL-GEL DERIVED SILICATE STRUCTURES BY BIOMIMETIC PROCESSES. ORGANOSILICON AND GERMANIUM PROBES WILL BE SYNTHESIZED AND THEIR EFFECTS ON REPRESENTATIVE SPECIES OF DIATOMS WILL BE SCREENED. DIATOMS PRODUCE AN ORDERED DEPOSITION OF AMORPHOUS SILICON DIOXIDE FROM SUPERSATURATED SILICATE SOLUTIONS. ORDERED DEPOSITION OF SILICON DIOXIDE IS A MAJOR OBJ ...

THE LONG-RANGE OBJECTIVES OF THIS PROJECT ARE TO (1) IDENTIFY NOVEL DRUG CANDIDATES RELATED TO THE MAGAININ CLASSOF PEPTIDES WITH POTENTIAL ANTIBACTERIAL, ANTIVIRAL, AND ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY THAT HAVE GASTROINTESTINAL (GI)-RELATED APPLICATIONS; AND (2) ADVANCE KNOWLEDGE OF THE ROLE AND MECHANISMS OF ENDOGENOUS MEMBRANE CHANNEL-FORMING PEPTIDES. THE MAGAININS, 21 TO 27 AMINO ACID PEPTIDES ISO ...

THE SELF PROPAGATING HIGH TEMPERATURE SYNTHESIS (SHS) REACTION PROCESS WILL BE STUDIED AS A MEANS OF SYNTHESIZING NEAR-NET-SHAPE TI6AL-4V AND 6061 AI ALLOY METAL MATRIX COMPOSITES (MMCS) INTO LOW COST FUNCTIONALLY GRADIENT BALLISTIC RESISTANT ALLOYS. A NOVEL MEANS OF INITIATING THE SHS REACTION HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO SYNTHESIZE ALLOY COMPOSITES WITH LOW OXYGEN CONTAMINATION. THE COMPOSITION OF THE ...

GSI proposes the development of an IR/RF expendable utilizing chemical energy to produce both signals. Current studies have shown that GSI'S patented intermetallic fuels are capable of producing extremely high in-band intensities for most military bandwidths, even under high flow conditions. In addition, chemical seeding of the fuel produces high electron cross-section plumes across a variety of r ...
