Emerging Technology Ventures Inc. (ETV) and its research and development (Ramp;D) partners, Navajo Technical University (NTU) and New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (NMT), proposed to develop and demonstrate a ldquo;Digital Twin (DT) Data Acquisition System for Institutional Facility Managementrdquo;. The innovation addresses Industry 4.0 digital transformation initiatives in Building I ...

There is a growing need to accurately characterize nuclear materials not only for nuclear safeguards and nonproliferation treaty verification but also for forensics and provenance. At present, nuclear material identification requires samples to be collected and sent to laboratories for analysis using large and expensive equipment, such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometers (ICP-MS) or s ...

This project will further the exceptional analysis and design work completed during the Phase I STTR effort.nbsp; During Phase II, the following will be performed:Perform a final design of the Fuel Test Capsule (FTC)Perform a stress analysis on the FTCPerform a thermal analysis on the FTC using power generated for NTR test samplesComplete require safety and environmental analysesFabricate and purc ...

The purpose of sub-topic T12.05 is to demonstrate the ability to significantly improve the manufacturing processes of Thermal Protection Systems (TPS) used in human-rated spacecraft with the intention to reduce cost and improve system performance.nbsp; New TPS materials and compatible additive manufacturing processes which allow deposition, curing, and bonding over large spacecraft areas are requi ...

The objective of this Phase 1 proposal is the Graphical-Processing-Unit (GPU) acceleration of a two-dimensional, unstructured, viscous Navier-Stokes (NS) solver for aerothermodynamic applications. The subject code employs a multi-species two-temperature chemically reacting real gas model and incorporates the exact discrete tangent and adjoint systems for the real-gas system, which has been used fo ...

UbiQD, Inc,nbsp;has partnered with the University of Arizona, Controlled Environment Agriculture Center, to enhance the lighting component of the Mars-Lunar Greenhouse prototype to improve the food production of the system. Ultimately, the goals are for UbiQD to install a down-conversion film composed of quantum dots (QDs) into a solar collecting/fiber optic system to not only provide higher quali ...

The team of Design, Analysis and Research Corporation (DARcorporation) and University of Michigan (UM)nbsp; propose an open source Distributed Electric Propulsion MDAO (DEP-MDAO) Tool, in which a new framework for aircraft aeropropulsive design optimization that integrates aircraft sizing, propulsion system sizing and distribution, wing design and propeller design will be developed.nbsp;The core i ...

During the past 3-years, Goodman Technologies (GT) in partnership withnbsp;the University of Hawaii at Manoa, (UHM, a Minority Serving Institution) have demonstratednbsp;Silicon Carbide (SiC) based nanopastes which are 3D printable, and moldable via our proprietary Z-process (technically Polymer Matrix Composites, PMCs, prior to firing). Nanopaste, nanoresin and nanotape technologies have been use ...
