Purpose: For most of the 20th century, students with visual impairments were placed in separate schools from their peers. With major advances in public policy, it is now more common that all students (regardless of such disabilities) be integrated within schools and in classrooms. Recent research demonstrates a lack of products to support the visually impaired in STEM (science, technology, enginee ...

The United States Navy has identified the need to investigate the use of auxetic fabric for military personnel protective clothing including jackets, shirts, pants, helmets, boots, gloves, and even body armor. Auxetic fabric technology has a unique feature in that it exhibits a negative Poisson"s ratio effect when subjected to an axial load. Auxetic fabric consists of an elastomeric core yarn, whi ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will employ the large scale; highly reliable boron-doped ultrananocrystalline diamond (BD-UNCD®) electrodes developed during Phase I project to build and test Electrochemical Anodic Oxidation process (EAOP) cells and systems that can destroy Contaminants of Emerging Concern more economically and effectively than competing AOPs. BD-UN ...

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 ...

Knobley Technical Associates, LLC's baseline Phase I proposed program for the Navy's SBIR Solicitation Topic Number N121-014 for Low-Erosion and Affordable Nozzles for Advanced Air-to-Air Missiles will identify and evaluate in a trade study, a series of emerging and innovative nozzle technologies and design architectures that can be cost effectively used in high-performance reduced-signa ...

Touchstone Research Laboratory, Ltd. proposes to develop a composite tooling technology based on its CFOAM structural carbon foam as a core material with High Performance Cement (HPC) coatings. This approach will evaluate low CTE HPC coatings that have previously demonstrated a high degree of compatibility with CFOAM in high-temperature environments and will leverage Touchstone"s experience in dev ...

The U.S. Navy seeks an in-situ powder coating material and application method for spot repair. Resodyn Corporation proposes a unique restoration and repair polymer thermal spray coating (R & RPTS) system that provides the ease of repair, safety in handling, and effective coating protection to fulfill the U.S. Navy needs. The proposed system will be a zero VOC, non-toxic, non-chromated material wit ...

Navy electronic support (ES) functions require receivers making true wideband RF / microwave measurements on transient & frequency hopping signals over 1-40 GHz and beyond, including spectral mapping (SM) and direction finding (DF) with low latency. Wideband digitizers in RF/Microwave receivers are expensive, create ~50 Gs/s of data to be handled in real time by large computer systems, and have in ...

This Navy Phase II SBIR effort will develop a packaged, high-speed optical amplitude modulator for use with a high-power, pulsed, blue laser that is being developed for lidar-based detection, ranging, and tracking of underwater objects in an ocean environment. While it is well known that laser sources in the blue/green spectral region increase the achievable range in ocean and coastal environments ...
