This paper describes the concept of a potential test vehicle for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that is designed to evaluate the dynamics, human factors, and safety aspects of advanced technologies ...

A sensor which is capable of detecting hydrocarbons and distinguishing among them at

This paper describes the Variable Radioisotope Heater Unit; its development, performance, and effectiveness at controlling the temperatures for the Cassini spacecraft thruster clusters.

The power, Isp and thrust of ion thrusters are constrained by ther fixed grid gap in the ion accellerator, which limits performance and life to a limited range in Isp and thrust.

The edges that are detected are thus at the same scale in the world, rather than at the same scale in the image.

We estimate the winter sea ice export through the Fram Strait using ice motion from satellite passive microwave data. Sea ice motion (October through May)is obtained by tracking the displacement of common features in ...

A technique for using satellite radar altimetry data to estimate the temporal variation of the water level in moderate to large inland bodies of water (lakes, in particular) is described.
