Not Available Sensor developers require the capability to easily generate scenes used to test sensor designs. As with model atmospheres used by MODTRAN/MOSART, the community recognized the need for model terrain materials with full optical/thermal specifications. This database would give users the ability to create realistic surfaces, complete with expected spectral responses at other wavelengths ...

Not Available This Small Business Innovative Research Phase I Project develops and demonstrates an electrochemical sensor for detecting and quantifying the concentration level of water in aviation fuel. Sediment and water degrade the quality of aircraft fuel at concentration levels as low as 2 mg/l and 5 ppm, respectively. Frequent fuel sampling is presently used where samples are analyzed using ...

Not Available AmberWave proposes to demonstrate and develop III-V metal semiconductor field effect transistors (MESFETs) and high mobility transistors (HEMTs) on Si using its proprietary technology in the epitaxial deposition of high-quality III-V compounds on Si substrates. The technology employs AmberWave¿s proprietary SiGe graded epitaxial layers that allow the lattice mismatch and thermal e ...

Not Available Optical time division multiplexed networks for multi-terabit communication links require ultra-fast all optical switches to be feasible. This program will demonstrate an enabling technology, intersubband transitions in AlyGa1-yN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs), that will permit the construction of terabit/sec switches at telecommunication wavelengths. The ultra-fast nature of the ...

Not Available A method for sensing the quality and state of composite material structures will be developed. The technique can be used to determine the resin cure state, detect pre-damage bond quality and sense or quantify damage in the material during use. Because the sensors are very lightweight, robust, and inexpensive, they can be readily located at critical points over an entire structure. ...

Not Available This Phase I Small Business Innovation Research Proposal details the technical and business strategies of Blue Sky Batteries to develop extremely high charge capacity polymers for use as cathodes in rechargeable lithium or lithium-ion based batteries. The weight and packaging savings associated with using these polymer cathodes will translate to reduced mission cost and decreased d ...

Not Available The goal of this Phase I research is to design, fabricate, and test a high-effeciency, low-power, two-phase pumped loop. This high-efficiency, low-power, two-phase pumped loop will use a unique two-phase working fluid pair that offers the capability of higher efficiency and lower pumping power becuase of its heat of solution characteristic. This heat of solution characteristic, comb ...
