Outside Plant
Outside Plant can be defined as equipment and facilities connecting a CO to other COs, and connecting a CO to subscribers. Depending on the distance and the terrain involved, the methods...
Autonomous Navigation for Structured Exterior Environments
The Telemanaged Mobile Security Station (TMSS) was developed at Sandia National Laboratories to investigate the role of mobile robotics in exterior perimeter security systems. A major...
Automated Sensor Tester
The Automated Sensor Tester (AST) is being developed by Sandia National Laboratories for the Department of Energy (DOE) to be a tool to aid in testing exterior intrusion detection sensors...
Roles of the Lunar-Solar Power System In Development of the Resources of Greater Earth for Mankind
The proposed Lunar-Solar Power (LSP) System collects solar power on the moon. The power is converted to beams of microwaves and transmitted to fields of microwave receivers on Earth that...
Solar Power Satellites
Earth's fossil fuel supply is dropping quickly. A new power source must be developed to save the remaining fuel and control pollution output. Solar power satellites are large satellites...
The History and Present Status of Microwave Aircraft
The history of microwave-powered aircraft is reviewed from the point of view of interaction between the technology of beamed microwave power transmission and the applications for it. the...
Simple and Efficient Methods to Produce Construction Materials for Lunar and Mars Bases
A microwave heating method and a cold press method are proposed as simple ways to produce construction materials on the Moon and Mars. The present experiment on the microwave heating method...
Physicochemical and Rheological Properties of Microwave Recyled Asphalt Binders
The purpose of this study was to analyze microwave recycled asphalt binders using Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC), Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and Dynamic Mechanical...
Microwave Application to TRU Wastes Conditioning System
Ceramic like wastes such as incinerated ash, thermal insulator, concrete, and soil and sand mostly being composed of a dielectric material, can be directly melted by microwave irradiation....
Microwave Measurements of the Water Content of Bentonite
The theory of operation of microwave coaxial resonators is described. Sample preparation and the application of resonator techniques to the measurement of the permittivity (dielectric...
Prefabrication of Ceramic Segments by Compaction and Microwave Fusion Technology
Material source and environmental impacts are two major concerns in the application of conventional concrete technology in lunar base construction. In this study, the simulated lunar soil...
Microwave Remote Sensing of Soil Moisture Applied to Hydrologic Modeling
Recent advances in microwave remote sensing have demonstrated the ability to measure soil moisture under a variety of topographic and vegetation cover conditions; however, its application...
Rock Excavation with Microwaves: A Literature Review
Research on the use of microwaves for breaking rocks started in the late fifties. In this paper, the principles of microwave heating and the possible mechanisms responsible for the breaking...
Concrete Microwave Tower is Award Winner
A microwave tower in Florida was built of cast-in-place concrete instead of steel, because: (1)Concrete was considered more esthetic than steel; and (2)concrete was more resistant than...
Energy From Space
Patented by Peter Glaser in 1973 the solar power satellite is a concept still mindboggling to some. It is a satellite orbiting 22,300 miles (35,800 km) above earth in geosynchronous orbit....
Hydrographic Surveying Turns to Electronics
Traditional technique for measuring water depth is to use a lead-weighted line. The tag line, stretched along the water surface so soundings are made in orderly fashion, can be dangerous....
Automated Hydrography for Channel Dredging
After studying both non-line of sight and microwave systems of over-water distance measurement, one of the latter was selected for checking dredged channel depth on the Delaware River....
