Company: Engineering & Economics Rsrch Agency/Program/Year/Phase: DOD / SBIR / 1987 / 1
Abstract: SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE IN RECENT YEARS TO DEVELOP AND VALIDATE MODELS WHICH CAN PREDICT THE PHYSICAL EFFECTS OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS ON STRATEGIC STRUCTURES. SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTIES REMAIN, HOWEVER, IN THE CONFIDENCE LEVELS ATTRIBUTABLE TO THESE PREDICTIVE CAPABILITIES. THIS APPROACH WOULD… more
Company: ENSCO Inc Agency/Program/Year/Phase: DOE / SBIR / 1987 / 1
Abstract: A FEASIBILITY STUDY WILL BE CONDUCTED OF A SEISMIC SCRAM-PROCESSING SYSTEM IN WHICH P WAVES FROM LARGE EARTHQUAKES ARE DETECTED AND ANALYZED IN TIME TO INITIATE A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT CORE SHUTDOWN BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF LARGE, DAMAGING SHEAR WAVE PHASES. A PROTOTYPE SEISMIC SCRAM-MONITORING SYSTEM… more
Company: Environmental Eng & Tech P C Agency/Program/Year/Phase: EPA / SBIR / 1987 / 1
Abstract: EXISTING WATER TREATMENT PLANTS ARE NOT VERY EFFECTIVE FOR THE REMOVAL OF A GROWING LIST OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS THAT POLLUTE OUR WATERS. ONE TREATMENT TECHNIQUE THAT IS HIGHLY EFFECTIVE FOR ORGANIC REMOVAL IS ADSORPTION ON GRANULAR ACTIVATED CARBON (GAC). COST HAS BEEN A MAJOR OBSTACLE TO EXPANDING… more
Company: Evermay Enterprises Inc Agency/Program/Year/Phase: ED / SBIR / 1987 / 1
Abstract: EVERMAY ENTERPRISES, INC. WILL INVESTIGATE THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR INTERGRATING SUPPORTED WORK MODELS INTO ALREADY EXISTING HORTICULTURAL COMPANIES THAT HAVE DOCUMENTED A NEED FOR WORKERS. WE WILL TEST THE HYPOTHESIS THAT WORKERS WHO ARE PROVIDED SUPPORT CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMPANY'S PROFITABILITY.… more
Company: Fibertek, Inc. Agency/Program/Year/Phase: DOD / SBIR / 1987 / 2
Abstract: CERTAIN APPLICATIONS IN COASTAL HYDROGRAPHY REQUIRE A SHORT PULSE WIDTH, HIGH REPETITION RATE OUTPUT FORMAT IN THE GREEN SPECTRAL REGION. A DESIGN FOR A SOLID-STATE LASER IS DESCRIBED WHICH WILL GENERATE 5 NANOSECOND PULSES AT AN ENERGY OF 0.5 MJ PER PULSE AND A REPETITION RATE OF 10KHZ. THE OUTPUT… more
Company: General Management Systems Inc Agency/Program/Year/Phase: DOD / SBIR / 1987 / 1
Abstract: THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS PROJECT ARE TO COLLECT RELEVANT HISTORICAL AND CURRENT DATA AND CREATE A DATABASE OF INFORMATION RELATING TO THE TECHNICAL AND HUMAN FACTORS ISSUES THAT ARISE IN SITUATIONS WHERE CREWS MUST WORK FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME IN CONFINED SPACES. BY ANALYZING THE DATA USING… more
Company: Greenbriar Systems Inc. Agency/Program/Year/Phase: DOD / SBIR / 1987 / 2
Abstract: TO KEEP PACE WITH RAPIDLY GROWING NUMBERS OF EXOTIC EMITTERS, AND TO KEEP EQUIPMENT SIZE, WEIGHT AND COST DOWN AT THE SAME TIME, FURTHER ESM SYSTEMS MUST EMPLOY INTELLIGENT INFORMATION PROCESSING PROCEDURES TO PERFORM THEIR JOBS OF GENERATING COMPLETE, ACCURATE, AND UP-TODATE "MAPS" OF THE ENEMY'S… more
Company: Gt-devices Inc Agency/Program/Year/Phase: DOD / SBIR / 1987 / 2
Abstract: HIGH POWER ELECTROTHERMAL DISCHARGE TECHNOLOGY PROVIDES AN ATTRACTIVE APPROACH FOR ACCELERATING SDI KEW PROJECTILES AND FOR SDI SPACE PROPULSION. STORED ENERGY IS USED TO HEAT SUITABLE PLASMA MATERIALS IN A LARGE L/D TUBE ON MICROSECOND TIME SCALES, CREATING A HIGH PRESSURE,LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT JET.… more
Company: Gt-devices Inc Agency/Program/Year/Phase: DOD / SBIR / 1987 / 1
Abstract: TO DATE, HIGH CURRENT MECHANICAL OPENING SWITCHES FOR INDUCTIVE STORE APPLICATIONS HAVE BEEN LIMITED TO LONG (100-1000 MICROSEC) OPENING TIMES BECAUSE OF SPEED OR PRESSURE LIMITATIONS. BY USING AN INSULATTING FLUID IN THE OPENING GAP, OPENING CURRENT AND VOLTAGE HOLDOFF PERFORMANCE CAN BE INCREASED… more

Company: Household Data Services Agency/Program/Year/Phase: DOT / SBIR / 1987 / 1
Abstract: SEVERAL METHODS OF RAPIDLY SCREENING AIRLINE PASSENGERS AND BAGGAGE FOR EXPLOSIVE DEVICES ARE PROPOSED. TWO OF THESE METHODS USE NONLINEAR DEVICE DETECTION (NLDD) TO DETERMINE THE PRESENCE OF ACTIVE OR PASSIVE SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES WHICH MAY BE PART OF AN ELECTRONIC BOMB FUZE. ANOTHER TWO DETECT THE… more
Company: Humagen Inc Agency/Program/Year/Phase: HHS / SBIR / 1987 / 2
Abstract: THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THIS RESEARCH IS TO DEVELOP A DIAGNOSTIC KIT WHICH WILL PERMIT EASY AND RAPID IDENTIFICATION OF OVARIAN AMYLASE. THIS AMYLASE ISOZYME APPEARS TO BE A GOOD INDICATOR FOR OVARIAN CANCER. IN ADDITION, MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES WILL BE PRODUCED WHICH WILL ENABLE CLINICAL INVESTIGATORS… more
Company: HY-Tech Research Corp. Agency/Program/Year/Phase: DOD / SBIR / 1987 / 2
Abstract: THE SPATIALLY RESOLVED PLASMA DISTRIBUTION BETWEEN THE ELECTRODES OF A PLASMA EROSION OPENING SWITCH (PEOS) DURING THE CLOSED AND OPENING PHASES OF THE SWITCH IS NEEDED TO UNDERSTAND SWITCH OPERATION. CONVENTIONAL HOLOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUES ARE NOT SUFFICIENTLY SENSITIVE TO STUDY THE 10 TO THE 13TH… more
Company: HY-Tech Research Corp. Agency/Program/Year/Phase: DOD / SBIR / 1987 / 1
Abstract: THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE MAGNETIC FIELD IN A HIGH CURRENT PLASMA DEVICE PROVIDES IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE DEVICES OPERATION. TRADITIONAL FARADAY ROTATION, ZEEMAN EMISSION SPECTROSCOPY, AND MAGNETIC PROBE TECHNIQUES SUFFER FROM POOR SPATIAL RESOLUTION BECAUSE THE MAGNETIC FIELD EFFECT IS… more
Company: Interferometrics, Inc. Agency/Program/Year/Phase: NASA / SBIR / 1987 / 1
Abstract: WE PROPOSE TO STUDY A GROUND-BASED SYSTEM FOR MEASURING THE DISTORTIONS AND POWER DISTRIBUTIONS OF IN-ORBIT REFLECTOR ANTENNAS AND PHASED ARRAYS. THE SYSTEM WILL MEASURE THE FAR-FIELD AMPLITUDES AND PHASES IN THE MAIN BEAM AND SIDELOBES OF THE SATELLITE ANTENNA. THE FOURIER TRANSFORM OF THESE DATA… more
Company: International Information Syst Agency/Program/Year/Phase: DOD / SBIR / 1987 / 1
Abstract: USER-COMPUTER INTERACTION AND THE INTERFACE (UCI) TECHNOLOGY THAT SUPPORTS IT IS FAR FROM PERFECT. IN SPITE OF CALLS FOR "USER FRIENDLINESS," USERS STILL GET LOST DURING PROBLEM-SOLVING SESSIONS, FORGET COMMAND STRUCTURES, AND FIND MANY INPUT ROUTINES DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO USE. THIS… more

Search Options
There are several categories such as “By Agency”, “By Year”, “By State” etc. Select a checkbox within a category to refine your search results.
Each of your selections is listed in the “Narrow Search Filters” bar. You can uncheck these selections to remove them.
Search for Either Criteria
When you select multiple values within a category, the results will include values that match either of the selections. For example, selecting “2005” and “2007” in the “By Year” category will display results that include either 2005 OR 2007 in the results.
Narrowing the Search Results
You can refine your search results across categories. To narrow down your results, select multiple values across different categories. The results will only include values that match the selections across the categories. For example, selecting “2005” in the “By Year” category and “NASA” in the “By Agency” category will only display the results that contain both “2005” AND “NASA” in the results.
