United States Industry Coalition, Inc.
Arlington, Virginia, U.S.

The United States Industry Coalition (www.usic.net), a nonprofit association of U.S. companies who are active partners in long-term nonproliferation efforts with the former Soviet Union, is seeking a company that would be interested in participating in proposals from:

The Institute of Technical Mechanics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, for development of high-frequency hydrovibrators for cavitation, and
The Academy of Quality Problems, Armenia, for the industrial application of cybernetic process control methodology, specifically, control of multi- input systems involving biological, mechanical, electronic, atomic, and other variables.
The goal of the first project is to develop a demo model of a vibratory-rotary drilling assembly equipped with a high-frequency hydrovibrator. A distinctive feature of the existing experimental prototype hydrovibrators is absence of any moving parts. The second project will involve application of the novel cybernetic process control methodology in any industry sector requiring sophisticated process control algorithm, for example, alloy industry.

For copies of the proposals or for more information, please contact Yekaterina Witwer, Market Research/Industry Outreach Coordinator, at ylisina@usic.net or at 1-703-526-9447 x320.

 

More From the United States Industry Coalition, Inc.

Please find below some new technology information. Please note that the leads did not originate through the U.S. National Labs, therefore none of them has been validated.

The source that provided us with this information is credible. Developers are Ukrainian scientists whose projects were abandoned some years ago with the Soviet collapse. They did, for some time, carry on without support, but later disassembled one by one. Now they are looking for opportunities to revitalize this work.

Some of the technologies they covered were the following:
Composite Metallurgy / Construction Materials
They claim to have developed cement derived from iron slag. This cement is similar to m500 (Russian standard construction grade) and our Portland 42 construction grade. The costs are about 1/5 of the normal cost of cement.
Alternative Energy
They claim to have tested extracting gasoline from coal, at 92 octane for cars at an equivalent cost of $0.26 per liter.
Complex Energy
They claim to have tested a 60kw fuel cell running on Black Sea water.
Thermo-Vapor Air Conditioning
They showed me a picture of a finished product, ready for production, for automobile air conditioning that runs on water, instead of Freon or other gasses. 3000 of them were made for a launch of the product, then everything came to an end.

The same group of scientists worked on other technologies in the following seven different areas:
1. Methane Gas Recovery
2. Composite Metallurgy (development of different metals)
3. Machine Building - Manufacturing
4. Capitol Construction materials
5. Complex Energy
6. Alternative Energy
7. Hydro Electric Retrofits and capacity improvements

U.S.-Ukraine Foundation and Kobzar Society is Bringing Technology & Training to Ukraine

In a series of recent meetings, the U.S.-Ukraine Foundation and the Kobzar Society have discussed ways to increase cooperation in order to deliver more computer technology and training to Ukraine.

Kobzar Society is a non-profit organization based in Lehighton, PA, chartered to assist Ukrainian universities, secondary schools, libraries and other educational institutions by providing them with refurbished computers. To date, the Kobzar Society has delivered over 500 computers to about 120 educational institutions throughout Ukraine.

While the Kobzar Society has the experience and infrastructure to deliver computer technology to Ukraine, the U.S.-Ukraine Foundation also has a number of strengths in Ukraine, such as an extensive community network, five regional training centers, project emphasis on training, and growing donor funds supporting schools and communities. With synergies applied, both organizations believe that more critically-needed technology and training can be brought to Ukraine.

Your help is needed ... support the U.S.-Ukraine Foundation and the Kobzar Society!

Support the Kobzar Society with a tax-deductible financial contribution or with the donation of used computers.
