This project will devise and develop an efficient and cost-effective technique for removing lead-contaminated paint films from painted surfaces in Army buildings scheduled for demolition. High-presure water jets confined within a shield (operating head) remove the paint from the surface. The operating head is sealed against the work surface by flexible flange. Small channels in the flange allow th ...

We propose to develop an Environmental Monitoring System by integrating various technologies to create a hybrid artificial neural network system. By functionally decomposing the requirements of environmental monitoring we can apply emerging technologies to fulfill these modularized requirements. Ten (10) years of experience indicate that the technologies directly applicable to specific requirement ...

A hybrid lithium ion battery / super capacitor energy storage device is developed that uses the high power capability of the super capacitor to satisfy pulsed power load requirements such that stress on the lithium ion batteries is reduced. This results in extended discharge time and higher efficiency utilization of the battery stack.

Accurate Automation Corporation proposes to develop a system design for an Ultra Short Pulse Laser beam director. The design and analysis will investigate diffractive and non-diffractive beam shapes as well as refractive and reflective laser optics. A high definition video camera along with a laser range finder and video processing will be used to keep the beam director locked onto the target whil ...

Successful brake system performance during long mountain descents is critical. Prior test events can fail to successfully replicate the severity of the extended down grade conditions, leading to recognition that definition of successful operational tests is required. Therefore the development of an updated test procedure and development of a Brake Fade Warning System, both of which rely on a numbe ...

Rocky Research proposes the development of an advanced high efficient, lightweight, multi-power, modular, and rugged refrigerator for the US Army. Rocky Research will use innovative technologies such as improved vapor-compression cycle with addition of Phase-Change Material, ejectors, and variable speed technology for energy efficiency; Electronics for multi-power capability; Carbon fiber structur ...
