Transport Properties of Ionic Liquid Mixtures Containing Heterodications

This report discusses the transport properties of ionic liquid mixtures that incorporate a series of asymmetrical dications, including heterodications. The dicationic ILs combine either triphenylphosphonium and trimethylammonium cationic sites that are bridged to methylimidazolium or methylpyrrolidinium cationic sites. Mixtures were made of the dicationic bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ionic liquids with N-ethoxyethyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide. The IL mixtures were characterized for their transport properties (temperature dependent conductivity and viscosity) and thermal properties (melting point and glass transition point).

Content addressable memory project

The progress on the Rutgers CAM (Content Addressable Memory) Project is described. The overall design of the system is completed at the architectural level and described. The machine is composed of two kinds of cells: (1) the CAM cells which include both memory and processor, and support local processing within each cell; and (2) the tree cells, which have smaller instruction set, and provide global processing over the CAM cells. A parameterized design of the basic CAM cell is completed. Progress was made on the final specification of the CPS. The machine architecture was driven by the design of algorithms whose requirements are reflected in the resulted instruction set(s). A few of these algorithms are described.

The global joule heat production rate and the AE index

The degree of accuracy with which the AE index may be used as a measure of the joule heat production rate is evaluated for a typical substorm event on March 18, 1978, by estimating the global joule heat production rate as a function of time on the basis of data obtained from the IMS's six meridian chains. It is found that, although the AE index is statistically linearly related to the global joule heat production rate, caution is required when one assumes that details of AE index time variations during individual events are representative of those of the joule heat production rate.
