A laboratory-scale experimental device having an outside diameter of 1.2 m has been designed to test the idea of electrostatic end plugging of an open-ended magnetic-field configuration. The configuration is a toroidal quadrupole having four very thin (less than 1-mm-thick) line cusps produced by four circular copper coils. Iron is used to concentrate the magnetic flux density to 2.0 T; without the use of iron, the power consumption, which is about 1 MW, would be about 25 times higher. The use of iron also produces a precisely known magnetic field and allows good access for diagnostics and pumping. Iron is also used for both the flux return path and the vacuum chamber. A hollow anode with an adjustable (nominally 1-mm-wide) gap is biased from 10 to 20 kV. Plasma densities of about 10/sup 13/ cm/sup -3/ and temperatures of about 1 keV might be produced by an electron beam and by electron cyclotron resonance heating. Higher-order multipoles (hexapoles and octopoles) also are described.

Two novel techniques which produce a uniform frozen layer of deuterium-tritium on the inside surface of a glass microsphere are presented.

The Tandem Mirror Experiment (TMX) system, part of the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory magnetic mirror program incorporates in its design various types of coils or magnets. This paper describes the physical construction of each coil within the system as well as the structural design required for their support and installation.

Memorandum from Ray A. Gano directed to All LULAC National Executive Board Members and dated September 27, 1977. The subject of the memo is "LULAC Participation White House Reorganization (Executive Branch) Per Federal Register dated July 7, 1978."

A weekly publication, the Texas Register serves as the journal of state agency rulemaking for Texas. Information published in the Texas Register includes proposed, adopted, withdrawn and emergency rule actions, notices of state agency review of agency rules, governor's appointments, attorney general opinions, and miscellaneous documents such as requests for proposals. After adoption, these rulemaking actions are codified into the Texas Administrative Code.
