SciGenesis will apply its FR-technology to nylon-only and nylon/cotton (50/50) blended yarns to demonstrate the feasibility of this technological platform at the individual yarn stage (i.e. pre-woven). The unique FR chemistry that SciGenesis has developed encompasses char promoting agents, heat reflective particles, Lewis-acid catalysts and a laundering durable binding system. Implementing this ...

Warfighters responsible for planning and conducting A2/AD entry operations require up-to-date, high-quality information within dynamic littoral zones. We plan to develop an easily deployable day-night measurement capability to accurately measure bathymetry, topography, currents and water surface temperature in near real-time from sensors and small computing capabilities housed within small multi-r ...

The U.S. Army is interested in the development of innovative materials, films, coatings and technologies or manufacturing techniques which allow current U.S. Army airdrop related hardware and equipment to survive fresh and salt water operations with increased reliability and without damage and significant maintenance impact. Resodyn Corporation proposes for development a durable, moisture-impermea ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I Project proposes a breakthrough development in embedded infrared (embIR) thermal imaging with a camera system that utilizes an embedded microcontroller for command, control, digital data processing, and output signal generation while optimizing for image rate, image quality, system size, system weight, thermal management, and power consumption ...

In prior projects, including a 2015 ED/IES SBIR award, the team developed two immersive multiplayer virtual game environments. In Eco and Colony, middle school students collaboratively apply scientific practices within the virtual worlds to address challenges, such as the availability of resources and energy and maintaining clean water. With this Phase I funding, the team is developing a prototype ...

Hyperion Technology Group Inc. (Hyperion) in an effort to address the needs laid out in the solicitation A16-112 titled Next Generation Intelligent Power Distribution Unit (IPDU) for Tactical Microgrids plans to develop an intelligent power distribution system that will make tactical microgrids more robust, while reducing fuel consumption. The key advantage of the Hyperion proposed approach to an ...

"Deep Learning for standoff detection of Special Nuclear Material (DLeN) applies the same deep learning techniques that allow computers to beat human performance in image recognition and the game of Go to detecting Special Nuclear Material. Spectral analysis and signal processing can in some cases be augmented by the use of much larger neural nets that conduct much deeper analysis of features of t ...

Small satellites have never lacked the capability to collect large quantities of operationally relevant data. The real limitation in fielding large constellations has been the inability to downlink the large quantities of data. Neither the ground station assets nor the high throughput communications subsystems have existed to close many point-to-point tight-beam links to low-Earth orbit. To satisf ...

THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN AUTOMATED CUP INSPECTION MODULE IS PROPOSED. THE OBJECTIVES OF THE PHASE I EFFORT ARE TO ESTABLISHED THE PARAMETERS WHICH MUST BE MEASURED AND THEIR REQUIRED RESOLUTION. THE PARAMETERS INCLUDE HARDNESS, OUTSIDE AND INSIDE DIAMETERS, BASE THICKNESS, TOTAL LENGTH, AND WALL THICKNESS. IN PHASE I, THE MEASUREMENT CONCEPTS WILL BE MOCKED-UP AND DYNAMICALLY TESTED TO VERIFY THEIR G ...

MICROCOMPUTER DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS HAVE SIMPLIFIED THE TASK OF UPDATING AND MAINTAINING LARGE QUANTITIES OF INFORMATION. A PARALLEL DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN THE EMERGENCY OF COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN SYSTEMS THAT ENABLE AN OPERATOR TO EXAMINE AND MANIPULATE DRAWINGS. THE PROPOSED RESEARCH WILL INVESTIGATE THE POSSIBILITY OF COMBINING THE ADVANTAGES OF THE DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WITH THOSE OF CO ...
