A method and apparatus is provided for the analysis of gaseous compounds, especially for determining the concentration of a gas or gases in a gas mixture by microwave spectroscopy. Microwave radiation is generated at one or more frequencies the gas is most responsive to, transmitted by antenna, passed through the gas under test, received by antenna, and the absorption and/or reflection of the microwave radiation is measured by means such as digitization and analysis using the FFT spectrum versus energy response generated, the response subsequently used to calculate the gas concentration.

Apparatus and method to identify and measure gas concentrations

A method for creating an enhanced multipaction resistant diamond-like coating (DLC) coating with lower Secondary Electron Emission (SEE) properties is performed on an initial surface by etching a DLC coating deposited on the surface after deposition and optionally creating interlayers to enhance adhesion mechanical properties between the DLC coating and the initial surface.

Method of enhancing a DLC coated surface for enhanced multipaction resistance

A window pane for an interceptor missile includes a light transmissive base material and light transmissive additive particles dispersed within a thickness of the light transmissive base material so as to define stress nodes, the stress nodes localizing, upon applied thermal shock or thermal heating, crack propagation around each stress node and/or between two or more adjacent stress nodes and preventing a continuous crack propagation through any one of a length, a width and a thickness of the window pane.
