High throughput screening of ultra-thin electrocaloric materials enabled by additive manufacturing

Current HVAC systems can constitute as much as half of a building’s total energy consumption, depending on its use. More specifically cooling, particularly in hotter climates or for energy intensive applications, like data centers, can comprise between 10-30% of the total energy use. These cooling systems are largely comprised of compressor-based direct expansion systems and chilled water systems that use refrigerants or water, respectively, to reject heat. . Electrocaloric (EC) cycles present an eco-friendly alternative to these conventional processes.

Towards High-Throughput Computation of Phase-and Defect Diagrams

The past decade has seen immense advances in our understanding of defect thermodynamics, and the use of machine learning and data science approaches has played a critical role in these advances [1–14]. In the area of grain boundaries (GBs), a particular focus has been placed on the effects of alloying – namely, GB solute segregation or more broadly, GB alloying [15–25], which has been observed and catalogued across a vast range of systems [26–50]. The impacts of solute segregation to GBs are numerous, and can range from negative effects such as embrittlement – for example, due to impurities [51–53], during irradiation [54–61], or during heat treatment [62–65] – to positive effects such as the stabilization against grain growth [66–69], thus enabling the design of nanocrystalline alloys with access to an enhanced range of functional and mechanical properties, and the reduction of embrittlement through the segregation of GB strengthening solutes [49,70–79].

The LAMAR: A high throughput X-ray astronomy facility for a moderate cost mission

The performance of a large area modular array of reflectors (LAMAR) is considered in several hypothetical observations relevant to: (1) cosmology, the X-ray background, and large scale structure of the universe; (2) clusters of galaxies and their evolution; (3) quasars and other active galactic nuclei; (4) compact objects in our galaxy; (5) stellar coronae; and (6) energy input to the interstellar medium.

A low-power, high-throughput maximum-likelihood convolutional decoder chip for NASA's 30/20 GHz program

It is pointed out that the NASA 30/20 GHz program will place in geosynchronous orbit a technically advanced communication satellite which can process time-division multiple access (TDMA) information bursts with a data throughput in excess of 4 GBPS. To guarantee acceptable data quality during periods of signal attenuation it will be necessary to provide a significant forward error correction (FEC) capability. Convolutional decoding (utilizing the maximum-likelihood techniques) was identified as the most attractive FEC strategy. Design trade-offs regarding a maximum-likelihood convolutional decoder (MCD) in a single-chip CMOS implementation are discussed.

The LAMAR telescope module for high throughput imaging and spectroscopy

Kirkpatrick-Baez mirror assemblies for the LAMAR experiment of the Space Shuttle are described. The aperture is 20 cm x 30 cm and the distance from the front of the mirror to the focal plane is 3.4 m. The reflectors are made from 1.8 mm gold coated float glass. A prototype brassboard mirror was constructed with only one-third of the plates. Its angular resolution is 35 arcsec (HPW) in visible light. X-ray tests over small areas indicate very little scattering. The fabrication technique is applicable to larger mirror systems such as those of XMM. The use of flatter material for the reflectors results in better angular resolution.

Off-line processing of ERS-1 synthetic aperture radar data with high precision and high throughput

The first European remote sensing satellite ERS-1 will be launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) in 1989. The expected lifetime is two to three years. The spacecraft sensors will primarily support ocean investigations and to a limited extent also land applications. Prime sensor is the Active Microwave Instrumentation (AMI) operating in C-Band either as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) or as Wave-Scatterometer and simultaneously as Wind-Scatterometer. In Europe there will be two distinct types of processing for ERS-1 SAR data, Fast Delivery Processing and Precision Processing. Fast Delivery Proceessing will be carried out at the ground stations and up to three Fast Delivery products per pass will be delivered to end users via satellite within three hours after data acquisition. Precision Processing will be carried out in delayed time and products will not be generated until several days or weeks after data acquisition. However, a wide range of products will be generated by several Processing and Archiving Facilities (PAF) in a joint effort coordinated by ESA. The German Remote Sensing Data Center (Deutsches Fernerkundungsdatenzentrum DFD) will develop and operate one of these facilities. The related activities include the acquisition, processing and evaluation of such data for scientific, public and commercial users. Based on this experience the German Remote Sensing Data Center is presently performing a Phase-B study regarding the development of a SAR processor for ERS-1. The conceptual design of this processing facility is briefly outlined.

RADARSAT high throughput SAR processor development

MacDonald Dettwiler & Associates has been involved with the Canadian Radarsat (RSAT) project for a number of years. This included Phase A definition studies and for the past two years, Phase B ground station design and processor prototyping efforts. The current baseline design for the SAR processing facility (SARDPF) is described along with its requirements and functional decomposition. This forms the context for then discussing the prototype SAR processor and extensions necessary to meet current ground station processing requirements.
