Scientific American Steven Ashley	Solid (State) Progress Hydrogen-fuel storage for cars gets a materials boost.
This Old House Max Alexander	Cold Comfort Central air-conditioning has always been the convenience people love to hate. But new technology makes air conditioners perform better, last longer, and run quieter.
Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005 John McHale	Colorado Statewide Communications System Expands to the San Luis Valley When completed, the agencies in the region will operate their mission-critical communications on a state-of-the-art digital radio system provided by Motorola engineers that also is capable of data transmissions for mobile computers in first responder vehicles.
Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005 John Keller	Lockheed Martin Set to Build Laser-Guided Practice Rounds for U.S. Navy Lockheed Martin is performing the work under terms of a $26 million contract. The laser-guided training round helps pilots train to use laser-guided bombs, but without the resulting destruction and hazards.
Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005 Lee, Hillman & Kim	Industry News: How to Predict Failure Mechanisms in LED and Laser Diodes Optical circuits provide an opportunity for meeting military and avionics performance needs. But predicting the reliability of these products can be difficult for the reliability engineer with little experience in optoelectronic technology. Here's where an engineer can start.
Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005 John Keller	Industry Scores a Win with Military Technologies Conference We sat down with a panel of experts representing the most important corners of our industry. Their insights led us to craft three separate conference segments: sensor fusion for command and control; transformational communications, and directed-energy systems.
Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005 Ben Ames	Weather Forecasters Turn to High Technology From warfighting to civilian airline schedules, weather controls our lives. The modern meteorologist builds forecasting models on powerful computers, and pulls data from radars, satellites, and a global network of sensors deployed on airplanes, weather balloons, and ocean buoys.
Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005 John McHale	RF and Microwave Technology Enable Networking on the Move Designers of RF and microwave technology say low power and small size remain the trend in product designs. Meanwhile, integrators adapt and combine RF and microwave technologies to enable networking on the move.
Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005 John McHale	Purdue Researchers Create Miniature Cooling Device Mechanical engineers have developed techniques for modifying household refrigeration technology with small devices to cool future weapons systems and computer chips.
Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005	Danish Air Force Chooses Formation Data Recorders NJ-based Formation's Advanced Integrated Recorder (AIR) systems will fulfill the RDAF's legal voice recording requirements by recording Ground/Air/Ground communications via VHF and UHF radios, as well as ground communications (telephone) lines.
