However, atpresent, high-resolution time-frequency representation technique provides a naturaldomain for analyzing and processing such non-stationary data. This technique canmeasure the local changes in frequency and scale content of a signal in the data set. Inthis paper we present the applications of this advanced signal processing and analysistechnique to solve problems related to geophysical seismic data especially applicable tohydrocarbon exploration and prospecting. One of the latest digital signal processing toolsis MATLAB (Matrix Laboratory), from MathCAD, which can be used to analyze,interpret, and process seismic data to specialized graphics features required inengineering and scientific

fuels, alternative methods of producing energyare being researched heavily. One of the forerunners in the research and development ofalternative fuels is the National Renewable Energy Laboratories (NREL)2. Convertingsolid feedstock into a gaseous fuel increases the opportunity to use biomass as an energysource. One conversion process NREL uses is the Thermo-Chemical ProcessDevelopment Unit (TCPDU)3, shown below in Figure 1. Figure 1 TCPDUAlthough the TCPDU has many elements within it, its conversion process is not difficultat all. First of all, biomass (which can range from peanut shells to sawdust) is fed into theFluidized Bed Reactor (FBR). Here the biomass is heated without the presence of an

Our new approach, which we callhands-on-homework (HOH), will be an integral component of the enhanced undergraduate curriculumchanges planned and will make use of ITLL resources. In the past, valuable resources have been created for providing exercises, puzzles, and mysteries draw-ing on day-to-day experiences to challenge and encourage further exploration.

The long term goal of the project is to develop an experimental apparatus to accurately model the dynam-ics and control of nonrigid, spinning bodies under thrust. An initial concept for such an apparatus has been pro-posed by Meyerl. The first phase consists of the development of three interdependent and essential elements: ageneral spacecraft model with variable inertias, a hemi-spherical air bearing to support the model, and the sensorsystems necessary to track the orientation of the model during test. This last element is required for future phasesto allow accurate modeling of the thrust force. Completion of the first phase allows laboratory simulation of therotational dynamics

These were to have capabilities foruse in instruction and troubleshooting for each piece of equipment within the trailer. Sincebandwidth was not a significant limitation for these pages, the design team was free to use video,audio, or any technique they wished.These groups faced unexpected problems with the laboratory itself which impeded their ability todeliver on all of the goals specified.

If a coordinatedeffort such as this market transformation program by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory(PNNL) is not successful, then lighting will remain a major cause for increased consumption ofelectricity.Further more the demand for electricity to meet the lighting needs is continuing to rise, allowingincreased energy bills, air pollution, and emissions of greenhouse gases. The fact is energyefficient lighting offers one of the best energy reduction opportunities.
