ATK Launch Systems is the world’s leading manufacturer of solid rocket motor systems for space launch vehicles. We are looking for experienced engineers and project managers to work with us on Ares I, the successor to the space shuttle. Open house for qualified candidates will be held November 13 and 14 at the Crowne Plaza Los Angeles International Airport from 3:00 – 8:00 PM.

This filtration device removes gas phase contaminants from an air
stream in a non-mechanical, non-cyclic, continuous manner. Odor removal
is accomplished by directing an air stream through a filter element
consisting of partially hollow wicking fibers.

A new air and fume purification system can remove breathable dusts and
fogs. The operation of the system is based on intercompressed washing
by means of a watery liquid.

Scientists at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research
Organization (CSIRO, Clayton, Australia) have designed a showerhead
that saves 30% more water than conventional heads by adding air into
the water stream. The resulting shower feels just as “wet” as one with
a conventional head.

While the concept of using an aerated showerhead to save water is not
new, the technology behind the CSIRO device is: the aeration mechanism
is a small nozzle that fits inside a standard showerhead. The nozzle
uses a Venturi tube (a tube for which the diameter varies) creating a
difference in pressure and fluid speed. Air is sucked into the Venturi
tube as a result of the partial vacuum created, causing air and water
to mix, forming tiny bubbles within the water stream.

This technology is based on an ice model for structural integrity with
regard to load and impact. Understanding how structures perform against
ice-loads is vital to ensure that structures continue to operate
safely.

This technology involves predicting the forces of ice on man-made
structures. Ice rubble, ice ridges, 3D keel failure simulation, sail,
keel, consolidated layers, and mechanical properties of ice on offshore
installations and lighthouses are included.
