Industrial Development, and MIT Center for Innovation in Product Development (2008)

D. E. Whitney, R. Mantripragada, I Inc, J. D. Adams, S. J. Rhee

This paper summarizes a theory to support the design of assemblies. It describes a top-down process for designing kinematically constrained assemblies that deliver geometric key characteristics (KCs)...

Comet 162P/Siding Spring: A Surprisingly Large Nucleus (2006)

Fernandez, Y. R., Campins, H., Kassis, M., Hergenrother, C. W., Binzel, R. P., Licandro, J., ...

We present an analysis of thermal emission from comet 162P/Siding Spring (P/2004 TU12) measured during its discovery apparition in 2004 December. The comet showed no dust coma at this time, so we...

The size and albedo of Rosetta fly-by target 21 Lutetia from new IRTF measurements and thermal modeling (2006)

Mueller, Michael, Harris, Alan W., Bus, Schelte J., Hora, J. L., Kassis, M., Adams, J. D.

Recent spectroscopic observations indicate that the M-type asteroid 21 Lutetia has a primitive, carbonaceous-chondrite-like (C-type) surface composition for which a low geometric albedo would be...

A DETAILED STUDY OF CONTAMINANTS PRODUCED BY MAN IN A SPACE CABIN SIMULATOR AT 760 MM. HG (2006)

Conkle, J. P., Mabson, W. E., Adams, J. D., Zeft, H. J., Welch, B. E.

A 27-day experiment was conducted to determine man's contribution to trace contaminants in a sealed environment. An environmental test cell was maintained at a total pressure of 760 mm. Hg throughout...

DETAILED STUDY OF CONTAMINANT PRODUCTION IN A SPACE CABIN SIMULATOR AT 258 MM. MERCURY (2005)

Conkle, J. P., Adams, J. D., Mabson, W. E., Wolf, P., Zeft, H. J.

Additional information has been accumulated concerning the contaminants associated with habitation by man of a closed confined space. An experiment designed to determine man's contribution to trace...

Design, Development and Testing of a Prototype Digital Ride Control System for Surface Effect Ships. Part 8. Test on XR-1E SES. (2002)

Adams,J. D., Ernest,A. W., Lewis,J. H.

The prototype digital ride control system (RCS) developed by Maritime Dynamics was installed and tested on the 26-ton XR-1E SES. Open and closed loop tests were conducted. Stability of the digital...

SES-200 (Surface Effect Ship) Technical Evaluation Test Report. (2002)

Adams,J. D., Ernest,A. W., Lewis,J. H.

Surface Effect Ships (SES) can operate hullborne like displacement ships or they can operate in a cushionborne mode by pressurizing the region between that catamaran hulls with air. The air cushion...

MSW (Magnetostatic Wave) Variable Time-Delay Techniques. (1998)

Adams,J. D., Bajpai,S. N., Daniel,M. R., Emtage,P. R., Talisa,S. H.

Studies of magnetostatic wave (MSW) propagation, in epitaxial yttrium iron garnet (YIG) aimed at the development of dispersive delay lines electronically variable delay lines for use in radar and ECM...

VHF/UHF Low Profile Antenna Analysis. (1997)

Adams, J. D., Cotton, Rickey B., Tripp, Victor K.

This report describes the results of an analytical and experimental study to determine the feasibility of developing octave bandwidth, electrically small, low profile antennas in UHF and VHF bands...

The delivery and uptake of nicotine from an aerosol rod.

Sepkovic, D W, Colosimo, S G, Axelrad, C M, Adams, J D, Haley, N J

Nicotine aerosol rods were assessed for their possible usefulness as substitutes for cigarettes. Under standard FTC conditions, the per puff delivery of the aerosol rod averaged 0.3 micrograms...

Reported cigarette smoke values: a closer look.

Hoffmann, D, Adams, J D, Haley, N J

Effects of mechanical compression of the filter tips and of blocking the air channels of a special filter design on the smoke yields of seven brands of commercial filter cigarettes were investigated....
