This Phase I SBIR Project will develop an Advanced Unbalance Control (AUC) system based on active magnetic bearing (AMB) technology and advanced feedforward control algorithms. The AUC system will offer at least an order of magnitude increase in bothresponse speed and unbalance response reduction as compared to the best available mechanical unbalance cancellation methods. This will be accomplish ...

Our goal through this project is to demonstrate the feasibility and enterprise-wide benefits of Synesis7"s proposed approach for getting to an advanced common integrative, intelligent Automated Logistics Environment (ALE) planning, development, technology, integration, and deployment framework ("ALE Framework") solution. Establishing technical, operational, cost and commercial feasibility will be ...

"Recent advances in remote sensing technologies through the availability of more sensitive instruments, and improvements in geo-location technologies and analysis software have resulted in significant strides in the successful application of high resolutionremote sensing to feature identification such as soil disturbances. These strides have been achieved by field-oriented remote sensing experts, ...

The Phase I project objective is to develop and demonstrate the feasibility for use of an alternative process for mixing high-energy solid propellant materials that are used for gas generators in U.S. Navy strategic missile post-boost propulsion systems, other large missiles, and launch vehicles. In addition, the advanced mixing technology does not use impellers for mixing. The process selected fo ...

The proposed technology is an advanced method to continuously mix propellants that shortens mixing times, improves safety, reduces costs, and environmental impact. Continuous ResonantAcoustic® Mixing (RAM) quickly mixes highly solids-loaded pastes using acoustic energy with no embedded blades or scrapers reducing the potential for accidents and waste. A RAM based Clean-in-Place process eliminates ...

The VIRGINIA Class submarine employs the Light-Weight Wide Aperture Array (LWWAA) hull-mounted array of fiber-optic hydrophones that requires the use of high performance, narrowband lasers. In this Navy Phase II SBIR effort, a prototype laser for the LWWAA hull-array sensor will be developed using the frequency-stabilized semiconductor laser technology demonstrated during the Phase I effort. The ...

We proposed to analyze and demonstrate phase noise detection of emitters across a wide bandwidth>20 GHz with a novel RF sensor, and to identify and develop a set of approaches to make passive measurements of the signatures and phase noise of non-cooperative antenna platform systems, utilizing the emissions from the antenna and/or the reflections off the antenna from jammers and other transmitters. ...

ALTHOUGH BICYCLES HAVE LONG BEEN USED IN THE REHABILITATION OF NEUROMUSCULAR AND MUCULOSKELETAL CONDITIONS FOR BOTH LOW-ER AND UPPER EXTREMITIES, LITTLE RESEARCH HAS BEEN DONE TO INVESTIGATE THE EFFECTS OF THE TRADITIONAL CIRCULAR CRANKINGMOTION ON PATIENT REHABILITATION. RETURNING A PATIENCT TO OPTIMUM FUNCTION REQUIRES A VARIETY OF MEASURES TO INCREASE STRENGTH, RANGE OF MOTION, ENDURANCE (BOTH ...

1Four different strains of white-rot fungi including P. chrysosporium, will be tested to determine their effectiveness in degrading TNT, RDX, and HMX. Bacteria has not been effective in cleaving the ring structure resulting in incomplete degradation. The ability of white-rot fungi to degrade ring structures may make it useful in degradation of these ordnance compounds. TNT, RDX, and HMX will be mi ...
