"We propose to investigate the feasibility of using Avanti's self-aligning kinematic optoelectronic mounts for active 3-D RF/optoelectronic microstructures. We believe the unique benefit of our approach is the precision alignment of optoelectronic devicesfor coupling to the outside world (and layer-to-layer). This unique benefit is coupled with additional benefits of easy manufacturability, direct ...

"New materials and processing techniques are needed to provide a high power storage device for usage in a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). AVEKA has developed a unique nanophase V205 material that is capable of storing and delivering large amounts of energyin a short period of time. AVEKA will utilize its proprietary coating technology to form a nanocomposite laminate from this material which can ...

"Gelled bipropellants provide advantages over liquid or solid gels. The conversion of advanced liquid oxidizers and fuels to gel greatly increases the safety of storage and use of bipropulsion materials in missile systems. Operational advantages of thegelled propellents over solid fuels include the ability to modulate fuel burn rate. The deliverable for this Phase II proposal is an advanced mix ...

"A miniature distributed data acquisition system with it's own wireless local area network (LAN), based on the IEEE 802.11b specification will be developed for airblast and explosion property measurements. This system LAN will operate at up to 11 Mbps andhave the added features of a synchronized clock controlling all of the remote data acquisition recorders. Since all of the recorders are connec ...

"Noisy enclosures present a problem of great importance to the Army's Command and Control Operations On-the-Move for Future Combat Systems. Examples of these noisy enclosures are Command and Control communications shelters and Vehicles. Fully equippedcommunication shelters are extremely noisy. A unique and effective solution to the noise problem in both fixed and mobile shelters is offered. The ...

"The Rotorcraft Pilot's Associate demonstrated the utility of Cognitive Decision Aiding Systems (CDASs). Unfortunately, the knowledge required to build CDASs is a tremendous hurdle to their de-velopment, fielding and maintenance. In Phase I, we documentedthe largest hurdle to efficient CDAS knowledge management as the `gap' between Knowledge Acquisition (KA) and Software De-velopment (SD). Tech ...

LiveInc¿ is a visual-linguistic, "cascading phrase" method of text formatting that instanlydoubles reading retention and comprehension, and increases academic scores by a full grade-point in high school and college students. Based on neurocognitive advances in syntax and vision, LiveInk algorithims have been encoded into parsing engines that reformat text in real-time, for instant reading power ...
