Development of a Safer Lithium-ion (Li-ion) Battery for Naval Aircraft Applications Through Thermal Management Design
SBC: EIC LABORATORIES, INC. Topic: N14AT006Rechargeable lithium ion battery systems can provide power throughout the aircraft, including engine or Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) starting, avionics, emergency, and other systems. Because of their high specific energy/power and potential thermal instability, they can present hazards if improperly designed, tested, handled, or stored. To address the thermal safety issue of Li-ion batteries, EIC La ...

Innovative Unified Damage Mechanisms-Based Model to Predict Remaining Useful Life for Rotorcraft Structures
SBC: TECHNICAL DATA ANALYSIS, INC. Topic: N14AT002Recent studies by the PI and the Co-PI of this STTR effort have shown that aluminum alloys and stainless steel in Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) fail upon reaching a critical entropy; claimed to be an intrinsic material property. The critical entropy has been used as damage metric for prediction of remaining useful life (RUL). Also, similar entropic concept has previously been applied to LCF of composite ...

Improving the Physics of Applied Reverberation Models
SBC: ADAPTIVE METHODS, INC. Topic: N13AT026The proposed effort will enhance the capability of the Acoustic System Performance Model (ASPM) and its implementation of the ASEPS Transmission Loss (ASTRAL) model by adding to it a treatment of several physical phenomena. Research in recent years has demonstrated that sea surface forward scatter consists of coherent and incoherent components with both having profound impact on reverberation. The ...

Prehensor for one atmosphere diving suit
SBC: VISHWA ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION LLC Topic: N13AT010The specific research objectives of this program are to develop a rugged and human equivalent (human-sized, multi-fingered with opposing thumb) underwater robotic hand that mimics the dexterity of a gloved diver and that can replace existing 1-DOF pliers on Navy Atmospheric Diving Suits (ADS) and Navy UUV (Unmanned Underwater Vehicles) without any mechanical seals. Furthermore it is the objective ...

Gallium Nitride (GaN)-based High Efficiency Switch/Transistor for L-Band RF Power Amplifier Applications
SBC: Cambridge Electronics, Inc. Topic: N13AT025The goal of Phase II of this STTR project is to optimize the GaN transistor obtained in Phase I to deliver a 100-W power amplifier with 90% power added efficiency (PAE) at 1 GHz. Emphasis will be put on optimizing output capacitances, improving gate control and further improving epitaxial wafers. We will finalize our design of power amplifier circuit module based on the improved device and our pro ...

Developing and validating a model to understand mixed lubrication regions for fluid-film bearings
SBC: XDOT ENGINEERING & ANALYSIS PLLC Topic: N12AT010Seawater lubricated propulsor (i.e., stern tube) bearings are one of the most important bearings aboard a ship. The performance and life of these bearings directly affects the vessel's operational capabilities, life cycle costs, and overall availability. In a single shaft vessel such as an Ohio class SSBN, any failure of this bearing is extremely problematic. In certain applications such as submer ...

Situational Awareness as a Man-Machine Map Reduce Job
SBC: DECISIVE ANALYTICS CORPORATION Topic: N13AT024This effort is focused on the development of a system called Situational Awareness via Mixed-initiative Universal Recognition, Analysis, and Inference (SAMURAI). SAMURAI will provide a single cloud-enabled end-to-end workflow covering the full range of data analysis from data ingest to situational assessment and decision support. As part of this workflow SAMURAI will provide the ability for automa ...

Technologies for Rare Earths Enrichment of a Novel Low-Cost Raw Material
SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC. Topic: OSD12T01Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) and the University of Connecticut propose a Phase II program to develop enrichment processes for concentrating the rare earth elements (REE) content of a novel, low cost, and abundantly and readily available industrial waste material in the United States. This material has not previously been considered as a domestic REE source. In Phase I, laboratory scale experiments ...

A Rapid Optical Approach to Quantitative Composite Bond Quality Assessment
SBC: SPECTRAL SCIENCES, INC Topic: N13AT011Widely used composite materials reduce aircraft weight and cost, improve structural performance, and boost fuel efficiency. However, composites are susceptible to adhesive bond line quality issues, both in initial fabrication and in service related bonding failures. Detection of weakened bonds requires an easy diagnostic approach to routinely monitor composite aircraft health. Our proposed solutio ...

High-Temperature Metamaterial Emitter For Thermophotovoltaics
SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC. Topic: N13AT017Combustion thermophotovoltaics (TPV) has the potential to achieve power and energy densities five to ten times that of rechargeable batteries. To date, however, TPV converter devices have not become commercially viable due to their low conversion efficiencies. The poor conversion efficiencies are primarily attributed to a mismatch between the bandgap of the TPV diode and the spectrum of the emitte ...
