The Extension Spring Design Calculator - ESDCThe Extension Spring Design Calculator (ESDC) has its roots in a program from the industrialsector that was utilized extensively in the design of extension springs for various printers andother mechanical devices associated with the computer industry. In the mid 1980's, themainframe version of the program was upgraded and implemented as a PC-resident programwith a user interface that guided the first time user while allowing the experienced user to rapidlysupply the necessary design requirements to the
. The wind tunnel consists of a contracting inlet with flow straighteninghoneycomb followed by a plexiglas test section. Downstream of the test section is aslowly diverging diffuser and a fan that draws the flow through the tunnel. Directlyupstream of the fan is a screen to protect the fan blades from any solid objects that traveldownstream during tunnel operation. The maximum tunnel velocity is 26 m/s. Thisvelocity is not large enough to cover the entire Reynolds number range desired, but islarge enough to illustrate the drop in the drag coefficient of the golf ball once theReynolds number gets large enough that the flow becomes turbulent.To illustrate this concept a smooth wooden ball of similar size to the golf ball was used tosimulate the

Session 2793During the inaugural year of the NFTS program, four system wide teleconferences were held.The topics of the teleconferences are summarized in Table 4. Each campus organized and hostedone teleconference. The teleconferences featured a speaker or speakers who focused on studentlearning. The intention was to have the featured speaker make a presentation and then answerquestions from all four campuses. Following the multi-campus session, the host campus had aface-to-face, interactive discussion with the speaker. Table 4. Teleconference topics and speakers for the 2001-2002 NFTS group.

, intended for spinning satellites. Motivation and potentialfunding for the EDPA prototype using microstrip technology, comes from NASA missionsproposed as spinners, such as Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS)2 and Inner HeliosphericSentinels (IHS) 3. As a satellite spins, it provides for its own stability. However, spinningcomplicates the earth-tracking requirement of a satellite-based directional down-link antenna. Forthis reason, the S-band (2-4 GHz) omni-directional antenna has traditionally served on spinners tosimplify data down-link, despite its inefficiency. The proposed EDPA provides an alternativemulti-panel electronically steerable antenna for data down-link, synchronized (in reverse) with thespin-rate of the satellite.4 The EDPA is designed
