The Department of the Navy has a need for the development of an additive manufacturing (AM) process for key vacuum electronic device components to meet on-demand, flexible, and affordable manufacturing requirements. The developed manufacturing method has a potential to reduce cost of vacuum electronics by as much as 70% as well as simplify and hence expedite production process of these devices by ...

Project Summary This Small Business Technology Transfer Phase I project proposes the development and optimization of a commercially viable novel polymer based radiation dosimeter for wide spread deployment The radiation dosimeter proposed herein is a disruptive technology with a significant market Although many commercial radiation dosimeters measure individual radiation load dose quantificatio ...

A notable failure mechanism in thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) is the attack by calcium-magnesium-alumino silicate (CMAS) deposits resulting from the ingestion of siliceous minerals with the intake of air. Existing TBC systems such as yittria partially stabilized zirconia (YSZ) are highly susceptible to CMAS infiltration. In this STTR program, QuesTek Innovations LLC, a leader in the field of comp ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Application of nanotechnology in medicine, nanomedicine, has provided numerous emerging opportunities in healthcare, particularly given ever increasing demand for in vitro toxicology and diagnostics towards personalized medicine. With increasing demand for personalized medicine, pharmaceutical companies strive in taking advantage of the potential of nan ...

The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the feasibility of using an innovative, durable, low friction, and non-toxic solid lubricant coating for foil air bearings for air cycle machines (ACM). Acrees coating provides superior wear characteristics at all temperatures and provides a substantial improvement over polyimide type coatings that are currently used on ACMs. The coating consists of tw ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this STTR project is to develop a pre-formed, naturally-based hydrogel postoperative adhesion barrier with improved handling characteristics, laparoscopic deliverability, and consistent efficacy. Our technology is based on a novel, patented process that imparts exceptional elasticity and toughness on normally brittle, weak materials. Postoperative a ...

Ebola EBOV and Marburg MARV viruses belong to the family Filoviridae and can cause fatal hemorrhagic fevers characterized by widespread tissue destruction with an incubation period of days Because of the safety concerns these viruses are designated as the biosafety level agents Currently there is no effective vaccine or therapeutic treatment against filoviral infection and pathogenes ...
