| Catalysts |
 |
| Synthetic gas reactor testing is commonly used to evaluate the performance of a variety of catalysts, including those used in automotive emissions control. SwRI's Universal Synthetic Gas Reactor (USGR) was developed to perform numerous tests that can be rapid and cost-effective. It is an excellent tool for screening of catalyst formulations, and discerning their mechanisms of operation to assist in further development. Applications include: Three-way catalyst (TWC), Lean NOx trap (LNT), Selective catalyst reduction (SCR), Oxidation catalyst, Fuel cell and reforming catalyst, Sulfur trap, Selective noncatalyst reduction (SNCR). To provide real-time, second-by-second data, a range of analyzers is used, including: O2, CO, CO2, Total hydrocarbons (HC), NOx, and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy for real-time measurement of gas components such as: NH3, NO/NO2/N2O/NOx, H2O, CO/CO2, HC Species, SO2. |

| Cold Room Chamber Testing - Div. 18 |
 |
| Environmnetal Test Group (Mechanical Sciences Section of Div.18) has 6 "cold room chambers" --four are approximately 3' x 3' x 3' in size (can produce a low temperature down to -65 degrees C); two are approximatley 10' x 13' x 8' (can produce a low temperature down to -40 degrees C); all have ports for running control lines, power lines, etc. between the inside and outside of the chamber. All have separate monitoring systems to shutdown the chamber cooling if thermal runaway occurs. All have ethernet connections nearby so that test items can be monitored by our clients over a separate network that is connected to the internet. All are monitored by SwRI engineers remotely. |

| Computer Languages |
 |
| A computer language is a language used by, or in association with, computers. Often, the term is used synonymously with programming language, but in general a computer language need not be a programming
language. Computer languages can be classified into several kinds, including but not limited to the following:
Programming languages (Java, C/C++, C#, Ada, FORTRAN, COBOL, BASIC, LISP, etc.)
Specification languages (Alloy, SDL, UML, etc.)
Data Manipulation Languages (e.g., SQL)
Markup languages (HTML, SGML, XML, etc.)
Transformation languages (e.g., XSLT)
Communication protocols for networks (TCP/IP, UDP, etc.) |

| Contractor Logistics Support |
 |
| Contractor Logistics Support (often referred to as CLS) is when a single vendor manages the overall logistics process for a product, system or service, thereby achieving a long-term relationship with a client by
providing multiple services utilizing a total cost perspective. In Div.
7, we provide CLS services for fielded training systems, including
training curricula, courseware, computer-based training, web-based
training, simulations and simulators. |
