Development of low temperature battery
Self-contained low temperature battery system consisting of a magnesium anode, potassium thiocyanate-ammonia electrolyte and a cathode composed of a mixture of sulfur, carbon, and mercuric sulfate operates for at least seventy-two hours within a discharge temperature range of plus 20 degrees C to minus 90 degrees C

Transitions to Nematic states in homogeneous suspensions of high aspect ratio magnetic rods
Isotropic-Nematic and Nematic-Nematic transitions from a homogeneous base
state of a suspension of high aspect ratio, rod-like magnetic particles are
studied for both Maier-Saupe and the Onsager excluded volume potentials. A
combination of classical linear stability and asymptotic analyses provides
insight into possible nematic states emanating from both the isotropic and
nematic non-polarized equilibrium states. Local analytical results close to
critical points in conjunction with global numerical results (Bhandar, 2002)
yields a unified picture of the bifurcation diagram and provides a convenient
base state to study effects of external orienting fields.Comment: 3 Figure

TDIR: Time-Delay Interferometric Ranging for Space-Borne Gravitational-Wave Detectors
Space-borne interferometric gravitational-wave detectors, sensitive in the
low-frequency (mHz) band, will fly in the next decade. In these detectors, the
spacecraft-to-spacecraft light-travel times will necessarily be unequal and
time-varying, and (because of aberration) will have different values on up- and
down-links. In such unequal-armlength interferometers, laser phase noise will
be canceled by taking linear combinations of the laser-phase observables
measured between pairs of spacecraft, appropriately time-shifted by the light
propagation times along the corresponding arms. This procedure, known as
time-delay interferometry (TDI), requires an accurate knowledge of the
light-time delays as functions of time. Here we propose a high-accuracy
technique to estimate these time delays and study its use in the context of the
Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission. We refer to this ranging
technique, which relies on the TDI combinations themselves, as Time-Delay
Interferometric Ranging (TDIR). For every TDI combination, we show that, by
minimizing the rms power in that combination (averaged over integration times
s) with respect to the time-delay parameters, we obtain estimates
of the time delays accurate enough to cancel laser noise to a level well below
the secondary noises. Thus TDIR allows the implementation of TDI without the
use of dedicated inter-spacecraft ranging systems, with a potential
simplification of the LISA design. In this paper we define the TDIR procedure
formally, and we characterize its expected performance via simulations with the
\textit{Synthetic LISA} software package.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure
