Abstract:The Department of Energy is responsible for cleaning up and then conducting ongoing surveillance and maintenance of 113 contaminated sites across the nation. The long-term cost associated with surveillance and maintenance of these sites is estimated to be approximately $100 million per year for… more
Abstract:The U.S. Air Force deploys and encounters a highly diverse spectrum of chemicals and materials. The health hazards of these materials must beevaluated to protect personnel and to minimize life cycle costs for weaponsystems. To evaluate health risks, chemical toxicity information is needed.However… more
Abstract:This proposal describes research and development to be completed during Phase II of an SBIR, building on the accomplishments of Phase I, to develop meteorological sensors based on fiber optic technology, for use at sea. While the ultimate goal continuesto be an entire meteorological suite of… more
Abstract:65811 The existing Multi-Filter Rotating Shadowband Radiometer (MFRSR) is widely used for atmospheric radiation monitoring by the DOE, the USDA, and several NASA programs. This project will fundamentally redesign the radiometer to extend the range of wavelengths it can measure, improve accuracy… more
Abstract:65616 Many types of ground-based atmospheric radiation instruments, both broadband and spectral, need to be mounted on sun-tracking platforms. However, commercially available solar trackers are: (1) either very large, expensive, heavy-duty platforms made to hold multiple instruments, or simple… more
Abstract:A multi-level web-connected network of meteorological sensors has the potential to gather environmental data in real time while automatically disseminating information to all echelons of military personnel. We discuss the design of a distributed, wirelesssurface meteorological data collection and… more
Abstract:The Army has implemented multiple programs to develop and field rechargeable alternatives to currently used primary batteries. These programs are motivated by the need to reduce peacetime (MOOTW, military operations other than war) battery costs. While theperformance characteristics of Army… more
Abstract:65737 Lithium-ion batteries offer several performance advantages over conventional lead-acid batteries including higher specific energy (~ 150 Wh/kg), energy density (>325 Wh/L), and cycle life. While these advantages have lead to the recent growth of lithium-ion technology for various consumer… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION: In cystic fibrosis (CF), pancreatic insufficiency and a diminished
bile acid pool cause malabsorption of vitamin E, carotenoids and other
fat-soluble antioxidants, which contributes to resulting oxidative stress and
poor nutritional status, both of which are… more
Abstract:60972 Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CdZnTe) is an important material for detectors used for national security. However, the production of CdZnTe, dominated by the High Pressure Bridgman technique for a decade, has suffered from low-yields (1-4%) and small device sizes (1-3 cm3). This project will… more

Abstract:DESCRIPTION (Provided by Applicant): Development of Low-Cost CZT grown by
Modified Vertical Bridgman Technique is proposed for use in making hybrid
arrays for high-resolution X-and gamma-ray imaging cameras, and making for
diagnosis of heart disease, detection of… more
Abstract:This Small Business Innovation Research Program will realize substantial improvements in the p-Ge laser gain medium. Far-infrared lasers based on inter-sub-band transitions of holes in p-type Ge span the broad spectral range of 1-4 THz and are the onlysolid state lasers in that region. They hold… more
Abstract:Three simple, direct methods for decoupling the interrelated channel outputs in an ultra-tightly coupled GPS/IMU system are proposed. These methods, based on conditioning, are not as computationally expensive as methods such as multiple model matching, andalso take advantage of the high precision of… more
Abstract:This proposal addresses the investigation of several methods to suppress RFinterference from own-ship RF transmissions that can affect the performance ofnext generation shipboard EW analysis systems. The principal area needing cositeRFI mitigation is thedirection finding portion of the EW system. … more
Abstract:Implementation of higher level features to include effects of variable amplitude loading, crack closure, retardation effects, plasticity, thermal loading, etc. for improved analysis using fracture mechanics approach

Abstract:Airbags are established injury preventing devices in automobiles, and will soon appear in aircraft. Airbags have already been developed for military helicopters and commuter aircraft, and general aviation applications will follow. The proposed research will develop technology to permit the first… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to research and develop means
to reproducibly and economically synthesize and use a new class of chiral
stationary phases (CSPs) under normal phase conditions based on carbon
surfaces. The main goal of this work will be… more
Abstract:60293 Accelerator cells for the Next Linear Collider come in families of 200 different, but similar looking parts with tolerances varying from.5 to 50 microns. A total of 2,000,000 cells or 10,000 of each type need to be manufactured. Speed and repeatability associated with automated part… more

Abstract:The phase II objective is to develop a general design/analysis methodology as a design tool to predict the dynamic responses and fatigue life of composite structures in high thermal gradient and under high acoustic loading for new generation hypersonicflight vehicles and propulsion system… more
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.
