Mounting method improves electrical and vibrational characteristics of screen electrodes
Electrical characteristics of the mesh or screen electrodes used in electron tubes are improved by decreasing the shunt capacitance of the tube while retaining the close spacing needed for the required resolution. Vibrational characteristics are enhanced by raising the natural resonant frequency

Improving the J/psi Production Baseline at RHIC and the LHC
We assess the theoretical uncertainties on the inclusive J/psi production
cross section in the Color Evaporation Model (CEM) using values for the charm
quark mass, renormalization and factorization scales obtained from a fit to the
charm production data. We use our new results to provide improved baseline
comparison calculations at RHIC and the LHC. We also study cold matter effects
on J/psi production at leading relative to next-to-leading order in the CEM
within this approach.Comment: Proceedings for Hard Probes 2012, Cagliari, Ital
Quantum Holonomies in (2+1)-Dimensional Gravity
We describe an approach to the quantization of (2+1)--dimensional gravity
with topology R x T^2 and negative cosmological constant, which uses two
quantum holonomy matrices satisfying a q--commutation relation. Solutions of
diagonal and upper--triangular form are constructed, which in the latter case
exhibit additional, non--trivial internal relations for each holonomy matrix.
This leads to the notion of quantum matrix pairs. These are pairs of matrices
with non-commuting entries, which have the same pattern of internal relations,
q-commute with each other under matrix multiplication, and are such that
products of powers of the matrices obey the same pattern of internal relations
as the original pair. This has implications for the classical moduli space,
described by ordered pairs of commuting SL(2,R) matrices modulo simultaneous
conjugation by SL(2,R) matrices.Comment: 5 pages, to appear in the proceedings of 10th Marcel Grossmann

Electronically Variable Pressure Regulator (EVPR)
A new programmable electronically variable pressure regulator (EVPR) concept accurately controls the local outlet or remote system pressure. It uses an integral pulse width modulated rare earth permanent magnet motor operating in response to redundant pressure transducer feedback signals. The EVPR is a simple single stage device that does not use dynamic seals or pilot valving. Conversion of partial revolution motor torque to poppet lifting force is accomplished by pure flexure action to avoid using bearings. The flexure drive (called the ROTAX) has a variable lead to minimize motor weight and power consumption. Breadboard tests were completed successfully on two critical design elements of the EVPR: the ROTAX and the motor. The ROTAX cable system was tested for 250,000 cycles without failure. The breadboard motor met the basic design requirements including the design torque and power consumption. Prototype parts were fabricated, and testing of the prototype EVPR has started. It is PC computer controlled to facilitate programming, data acquisition and analysis. A lightweight dedicated microprocessor is planned for the flightweight EVPR
Nuclear waste disposal in space
Work on nuclear waste disposal in space conducted by the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and contractors are reported. From the aggregate studies, it is concluded that space disposal of nuclear waste is technically feasible
