We propose a novel high efficiency (≈40%) generator system capable of providing 1 kWe along with hot water on-demand. The integration of two novel concepts: 1) an internal combustion engine (ICE) operating on Spark-Assisted Compression Ignition (SACI) combustion of natural gas (NG), and 2) a bottoming Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) with waste energy recovery (WER) from ICE exhaust enables the overa ...

Theoretical computing speeds have increased dramatically in the last decade with chip advances, including Graphics Processor Units (GPUs).In practice, however, these gains have not been realized, largely due to the accompanying high development costs due to the need for multiple code bases to take advantage of the various chips and their variants.The proposed project addresses these issues from bo ...

ColdQuanta proposes the development of compact electric field sensors that operate from 1 to 1000 GHz and feature absolute accuracy better than 1%. These devices will utilize highly excited Rydberg atoms that are exceptionally sensitive to RF, microwave, and millimeter radiation. Featuring sensitivities of a few uV/cm, the accuracy of these devices will be at least one order of magnitude better t ...

The printed approach that Sciperio used in Phase I demonstrated that it is feasible to utilize direct printing to manufacture ignition bridges. The direct printed approach is a combination of printed electronics and 3D printing. The conductive materials were printed and the holder for the materials of interest was 3D printed and then filled. This is all done utilizing a single machine and therefor ...

Triad Technology is proposing development of scalable process for fabrication of an all glass microcell with a getter/dispenser surface coating. The microcell fabrication process will provide the capability to build and fill multiple microcell at one time.

ABSTRACT: FIRST RF has teamed with University Research Foundation (URF) and Radiometrics Corporation to develop a passive radiometer-based geolocation system for use with a wide variety of USAF platforms. The system will be comprised of a ruggedized, near-COTS radiometer system by Radiometrics Corporation, augmented with a robust 2-D scanning beamsteering antenna by FIRST RF Corporation and enhanc ...

To maintain combat readiness in a changing warfare landscape, the Navy and USMC training communities needs comprehensive, easy-to-use database generation and editing tools. These tools must be flexible geospatial source data often lacks detail, so customization capabilities are essential. For example, users may need to edit the terrain database to accurately represent building interiors and perfo ...
