Abstract: This paper describes the laboratory effort to relate quantities of diesel particulate volatile organics obtained by DFI/GC™ to those obtained by traditional methods of organic analysis. Experiments ...

Abstract: Most windows are required by their manufacturer to be installed in rough openings constructed so efficiently that there is a maximum of 6.35-mm (1/4-in.) space between the window and the adjacent structure. This space is ...

Abstract: During two flights of a balloon-borne coronagraph to a maximum altitude of 25 km, observations of the wavelength distribution of skylight from 0.37 ? to 0.79 ? at a scattering angle of 2°4 as well as the angular distribution ...

Abstract: This paper details the research into axis symmetric architecture (ASA) proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells possessing nonprismatic cylindrical architecture. Advantages of the ASA include improved fuel flow, reduced ...

Abstract: This paper numerically determines the number of real-valued inverse kinematic solutions to a constrained parallel mechanism composed of three triangular platforms. The base and middle platforms ...

Abstract: In this investigation a robotic system’s dynamic performance is optimized for high reliability under uncertainty. The dynamic capability equations (DCE) allow designers to predict the dynamic ...
