The innovation proposed is an axially operated, high efficiency, low mass cryogenic valve. This innovation, termed Venturi Off-Set Technology (VOSTtm), addresses four critical needs for effective storage, transfer and use of cryogens in aerospace. These are: thermal isolation to minimize heat leakage,low pressure drop to accommodate high flows without cavitation, minimal mass and space requirement ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long terms goal of this research is the development of a portable instrument that will allow a relatively untrained operator to determine the presence and amount of up to twenty bioterrorism agents in a matter of fifteen to twenty minutes. The assay will be simple and very nearly immune to operator error. The principle application of the device will be for ...
