A direct write machine capable of writing metals, dielectrics, ferrites and resistive materials, would be an effective tool for rapid prototyping and design for electronic circuits. A versatile machine of this nature could also be implemented with the capability to deposit the necessary materials… More

Not Available Intelligent Automation Inc. (IAI) proposes to design, implement and demonstrate a two-level learning system for autonomous devices. There are several novel aspects of the propose architecture. It incorporates the basic reflex-type behaviors of reactive systems with goal directed… More

Military aircraft are largely constructed from special aluminum alloys, which typically have secondary precipitate phases that substantially improve mechanical strength. However, these regions also promote corrosion in such common environmental conditionsas acid rain, saltwater, and thermal… More

"The future battlefield will feature highly advanced targeting and firepower and will therefore require significant advancements in real-time information feed back for individual soldiers. Advanced communications and sensors systems can inform the soldierand his commander of, for example, the… More

Conformal antennas for VHF/UHF have multiple uses, but the Phase I effort by Sciperio was focused on the design of a SLICE band omni-directional UHF antenna for integration within a soldiers helmet. The Phase I results for this conformal concept wereproof of the feasibility of designing an antenna… More

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Rare-event imaging has profound implications for the early identification of potentially correctable terminal diseases, especially for cancer. What is required is a highly accurate "routine" test to be given to all patients, not just to those deemed at risk.… More

Conventional antennas are often not suitable for military applications due to shape and size constraints imposed by the competing demands for good radio-frequency-specific electromagnetic resonance with high durability and low visibility. Consequently,numerous varieties of antennas have been… More

The goal of this proposal is the production of a designer engineered tissue construct (ETC), a surrogate lung patch-like structure, which will be used to assess the damage induced by thermobaric (TBX) weapons. The information garnered from surrogate-lung-patch tests will be used to help devise… More

Sciperio will use advanced genetic algorithm (GA) modeling tools for the development of a minimum footprint antenna system that has been optimized for use with existing Navy sensor system electronics. The GA modeling tools will also be used to improve the antenna system operation as it applies to… More

A longwire antenna module is proposed, incorporating a length reduction technique that yields 25-75% length reduction with minimal impact on gain. A resonant monopole antenna operating at 535kHz is approximately 440ft long; length reduction techniques will reduce this to between 69ft and 134ft… More

An antenna system is proposed for the purpose of FM, TV-VHF, and TV-UHF PSYPOS broadcast applications. The antenna system incorporates a radiating structure that is small, light weight, and conformal. A circularly polarized beam is broadcast from an aircraft towards nadir, illuminating the region… More

A methodology is proposed to provide intelligence to more classical global optimization schemes. By incorporating these methods, design engineers will be able to not only identify and resolve difficulties within an antenna element, but will be able to synthesis and optimize an entire array,… More

There are a number of sensors capable of detecting valuable information. However these sensors are many times only valuable if they are in a strategic location. To place the sensor in a strategic location it potentially requires some type of concealment and would also be remote. One of the… More

There is potential for the Navy to improve shipboard desalinization using state of the art Reverse Osmosis (RO) with pressurized feedback. We are proposing not only to provide the highest efficient RO technology, but done so in a package to reduce the weight of the system, reduce the noise during… More

ABSTRACT: Historically, fiberglass/composite manufacturing processes were focused on the fabrication of structural/mechanical subcomponents. For UAVs this would include components such as wings, fuselage, and panels. To accommodate electronic functions, appliques are used with certain antennas.… More

An energy recovery reverse osmosis pump (RO) capable of delivering 16,000 gallons per day is proposed. The final product after the Phase II option will be a titanium pump to reduce the weight and enhance the corrosion resistance. The new RO pump will provide potable water using the most efficient… More
