eSpin Technologies will design the scale up machine to produce novel high performance separator for lithium primary batteries. The process will be developed to produce novel separator and a variants which has the potential of a significantly higher volumetric efficiency for electrolyte storage capacity and kinetics to distribute electrolyte flow within nanoporous channel efficiently. This new sepa ...

The state-of-the-art in infrared scene projection uses micro-machined resistor arrays. These arrays have limited frame-rate, dynamic range, and can be cost prohibitive as the array size increases. Alternative technologies are required. The most promising is infrared light emitting diodes (IR LED) based on InAs/GaSb type-II superlattices (T2SL) or W-Quantum Wells, with the ability to tune the bandg ...

Hypersonic flight environments can include motion with high frequency spectral content that is difficult to simulate.This high frequency vibration may adversely affect the accuracy of guidance and control sensors, so it is very important to the Air Force Research Laboratory to be able to recreate the motion in a way that allows sensor performance to be evaluated.Motion platforms such as the KHILS ...

The Air Force has identified a need for a display agnostic common streaming model for 3D data. Third Dimension Technologies (TDT) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have formed a consortium to define a 3D streaming model based on open standards for Display Agnostic 3D Streaming (DA3DS). Two factors are driving this need. The first is the dramatic increase in the collection, storage and trans ...

Achieving desired bondline temperatures is critical to ensuring proper wetting, flow and cure when repairing composite structures. Under this multi-phase SBIR project a novel method for measuring/managing cure temperature in the bondline is being pursued based on patented amorphous microwire temperature sensors that are placed permanently within the bondline and read remotely via low-frequency ele ...

The project will deliver a flexible open, non-proprietary NDI environment with the capability to capture NDI inspection data through an adaptive interface, using streamlined NDI processes and provide powerful engineering analytics tools for retrieving and

History has repeatedly shown that combustion instability is the greatest technical risk faced in any chemical propulsion development program, with some form of pressure oscillations experienced in practically every engine development effort. The costs to mitigate combustion instability can be extremely large due the need to rely upon hardware intensive build and test efforts. This combination of ...

Accurate Automation Corporation proposes to develop a system concept for a USV based telemetry collection system to support hypersonic flight tests over water. The conceptual system will be evaluated for technical risk and feasibility as well as economic viability. A detailed conceptual design and operation guide for the system will be provided to support the development and deployment of a test s ...

Wind tunnel testing of high performance aerodynamic systems, including force and moment measurements (of larger models), often involve unsteady oscillatory loads which may damage the expensive balance and would also normally impact the data accuracy and a

Current and future explosive munition weapon systems development relies heavily on explosives detonation performance characterization and computational hydro-code simulation research conducted by DoD and DoE research communities. This work in turn relies
