...addition, the Stealth is said to use special materials to insulate hot parts of the engine and thus shield them from infrared or heat-seeking devices. According to the Armed Forces Journal, the exhaust nozzles are bent at odd angles, dispersing the fumes in a pattern that confuses heat sensors, such as those aboard Soviet ground-or air-launched missiles. Stealth employs electronic countermeasures-secret, computerized devices that send out confusing radar signals...

The Environmental Protection Agency last week gave Detroit some relief, when it decided to drop a 1982 exhaust emissions test requirement. This will save the industry $250 to $350 million...

That technically changed the bill enough to render inoperative some 75 other amendments Hatfield had introduced in an effort to delay passage...

He received $8,000 last year to help finance his idea for using the hot air coming off cooking ranges rather than simply pumping it out the exhaust fan. With the money, he built a prototype "hydro-coil" that gathers the heat in radiator-type fins and recycles it to heat other rooms in the house and the water system.
