Abstract:With an ever-growing elderly population, it is becoming increasingly important to monitor physiological correlates associated with age. One major problem associated with age revolves around quantity and quality of sleep. Many commercial devices monitor physiometric nocturnal activity (i.e.… more
Abstract:Both DOD and NASA have future missions that require the launch and deployment of an increasing number of single spacecraft, as well as multi-craft constellations. The desire to minimize cost and ensure the robustness of these high value assets has givenrise to the need for on-orbit inter-satellite… more
Abstract:The objective of this project is to develop and validate improved methodology for the substantiation and the usage-based tracking of rotorcraft dynamic system components. A Helicopter Information Retrieval & Substantiation System(HIRSS) is proposed whichconsists of (1) an Universal Damage Tracking… more
Abstract:One of the primary processes used for device patterning in the electronics industry is deep ultaviolet photolithography. However, the highly reflective substrates require reduction of this reflectivity to minimize standing waves and to maintain tightdimensional control. Most of te industry uses… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (Verbatim from the Applicant's Abstract): Urethral catheters are
essential in the management of many diseases and conditions yet often result in
catheter associated urinary tract infections. The use of sterile closed
systems, advanced infection control protocols… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (Adapted from applicant's abstract): Chronic pain is an enormous
problem in the United States: it is estimated that 30 to 100 million people
suffer from it. Often, current treatments are ineffective and the population of
sufferers is often described as "under-served… more

Abstract:During Phase I, Advanced Turbomachinery Solutions designed andtested a proof-of-concept, reverse rotation capable brush seal.All project objectives were met successfully. The new, hybridseal design can be retrofit into existing gas turbine designs,within the present geometric envelope, utilizing the… more
Abstract:ATEC and TA&T, in collaboration with the University of Maryland, will develop a light-weight, low-cost ceramic-based, high heat flux microchannel heat sink device suitable for power electronics cooling applications. The combination of our uniquefabrication process and the incorporation of an active… more
Abstract:We propose to develop an efficient heat rejection unit for cryogenic cooling with ultra low parasitic thermal, mechanical, and electromagnetic noise for cooling filters and sensors at HTS conditions. The proposed device will incorporate active micro-scaleheat transfer surfaces, pump(s), and… more
Abstract:Advanced Thermal and Environmental Concepts, Inc. proposes to utilize electrohydrodynamic (EHD) technology to reduce the amount of frost that forms on cold plates in food freezers. The defrost cycle consumes about 5-15% of the energy to operate an industrial food freezer. During Phase I of our… more

Abstract:DESCRIPTION (Verbatim from Applicant): The long-term objective of this project
is to develop tissue-engineered cartilage for human therapy using a novel
degradable poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogel. We hypothesize that a
semi-interpenetrating polymer network… more
Abstract:A very promising approach to a significant reduction of the mass of the gasdynamic mirror (GDM) fusion propulsion system is proposed. It makes use of field-reversal techniques whereby a rotating magnetic field is employed to induce an azimuthal current in the plasma, which in turn gives rise to the… more
Abstract:This project will research and develop a system for radio frequency (RF) spectrum monitoring capable of detecting and locating RF emitters and interference sources operating in a military test range environment. The system will track authorized spectrumusage and report unauthorized utilization in… more
Abstract:The purpose of this Phase II effort is to build a rugged, compact optical phased array for coherent addition of laser beams, a crucial building block for multi-kilowatt continuous wave laser devices. This effort builds on the success of the Phase I effortwhere it was shown that an array of… 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.
