A continuing problem in machine dynamics is that of transmission of             vibration from the supporting surface (e.g., a floor surface) to                machine components.  Passive vibration isolators are effective for low          frequencies but not for a broad range of frequencies.  This project of          research and development is the first step in providing a prototype,            actively controlled gas bearing for precision movement in instruments           and machine tools.  The active bearings promise to provide a stiff              support which can be made opaque to the tranmission of vibration from           the supporting floor.  The ultimate object is a complete functioning            bearing system with a user friendly interface to facilitate                     incorporation in machines by designers not skilled in gas-bearing               design.
