Infrared Solutions, Inc. (ISI), with assistance from its subcontractor, the Honeywell Technology Center (HTC), proposes a Phase I contract to design an uncooled bolometer staring infrared array and camera suitable for use in a home security system. The array will be a low-cost, reduced-complexity version of Honeywell's well-known silicon microbolometer array which was developed under the HIDAD pr ...

Disability is the nation's largest public health issue; with over 35 million Americans experiencing disability and annual disability-related costs exceeding $170 billion. Planning for the efficient and equitable allocations of state and local rehabilitation services has generally been inadequate, however. Geographic information systems (GIS) approaches have the potential to dramatically improve ...

This proposal is to examine the feasability of using biodegradable, injectable gels as drud delivery vehicle for a model analgesic drugf, Bupronophine, for the release and management of severe acute and chronic pain. We propose to develop a controlled release biodegradable, injectable gel formulation for Bupronorphine Hydrochloride (water soluble salt) and Bupronorphine base (water insoluble) tha ...

We propose research leading to the development of an integrated sub millimeter wave downconverter utilizing Resonant Tunnel Diodes (RTD's) as the local oscillator. RTD's have already been demonstrated at Superior Vacuum Systems Associates (SVTA). Phase I research will develop the MBE growth and processing to integrate these RTD's together with mixer diodes and passive devices. These RTD's are f ...

The Department of Defense is actively pursuing the development of Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV). Visual feedback provided to the operator is a major component required for the successful control of the ROV. The proposed approach utilizes dual units of a patented TRI imaging system, Omniview TM, in conjunction with a helmet tracking system to create a stereo image representation of the remote en ...

The information processing tasks associated with defense application, such as Automated Target Recognition (ATR), have very diverse computational requirements that result in different needs for computing systems capabilities. A "heterogeneous" parallel computing environment provides a variety of architectural capabilities, orchestrated to perform an application whose tasks have such diverse execu ...

DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF SOLID-STATE DIRECTION-INDICATING APPARATUS, WITH TILT-IMMUNITY, THAT PROVIDES AN AUDIBLE OR TACTILE INTERFACE WITH THE USER. REDUCED SIZE TO ALLOW ENCAPSULATION IN A TYPICAL WALKING CANE. A DEVICE WILL BE DESIGNED THAT WILL PROVIDE A VISUALLY IMPAIRED PERSON WITH AN INDICATION OF HORIZONTAL DIRECTION, WITH RESPECT TO THE EARTH'S MAGNETIC FIELD. THE DEVICE WILLALSO SIGNAL ...

A PROJECT IS PROPOSED TO DEVELOP A BIOSENSOR FOR MEASURING PATHOGENIC MICROORGANISMS IN WATER BY MEASURING CHANGES IN CONDUCTANCE ACROSS MICROPOROUS, POLYCARBONATE MEMBRANE COATE WITH SPECIFIC ANTIBODIES. THE MEMBRANES WILL BE COATED WITH HYDROPHILIC POLYMERS USING PHOTOCHEMICAL COUPLING. ANTIBODIES SPECIFIC FOR THE ANALYTE WILL THEN BE COUPLED TO THE POLYMER-COATED MEMBRANES PRIMARILY IN THE PORE ...
