H-1 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spin-Lattice Relaxation, C-13 Magic-Angle-Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, Differential Scanning Calorimetry, and X-Ray Diffraction of Two Polymorphs of 2,6-Di-Tert-Butylnaphthalene

Polymorphism, the presence of structurally distinct solid phases of the same chemical species, affords a unique opportunity to evaluate the structural consequences of intermolecular forces. The study of two polymorphs of 2,6-di-tert-butylnaphthalene by single-crystal x-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), C-13 magic-angle-spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and H-1 NMR spin-lattice relaxation provides a picture of the differences in structure and dynamics in these materials. The subtle differences in structure, observed with x-ray diffraction and chemical shifts, strikingly affect the dynamics, as reflected in the relaxation measurements. We analyze the dynamics in terms of both discrete sums and continuous distributions of Poisson processes

A Data Fusion Approach to Automated Vehicle Detector Testing

Vehicle presence detectors have become critical elements of traffic management systems, including applications ranging from intersection signal control to freeway congestion monitoring. The need to assess the accuracy and attributes of each of the many types of sensors motivated the California Department of Transportation to construct the Traffic Detector Testbed on I-405 in Southern California. With up to ten detectors of different types under concurrent test in each of six lanes, a means for automating the testing process became imperative, since traditional human-verification methods were not practical. This paper describes the design and implementation of an automated data acquisition and verification system that processes data from all detectors along with that of a reference image processing system, to create a composite ground truth record against which individual detector performance is assessed. The system architecture, data fusion methodology, computer vision methods, operator interface and system performance results are discussed

Utilization of coal associated minerals. Quarterly report No. 10, January 1-March 31, 1980

In the preceding quarterly report, it was reported that while sampling the Solvent Refined Coal II (SRC II) pilot plant at Fort Lewis, Washington, the plant went down and vacuum bottoms waste material representing the minerals flow at the last steady state condition were obtained. This plant has been sampled again and samples of the incoming feed coal, sized coal and vacuum bottoms waste material were obtained. As part of our effort to trace the same mineral suite through mining, preparation and conversion, new samples of feed coal, cleaned coal and refuse were obtained from the District 4 commercial preparation plant. This preparation plant supplies coal to the SRC II pilot plant at Fort Lewis, Washington. A study of the thermal insulating properties of fired flyash based structural materials was completed and is included
