This program would build upon recently completed work sponsored by DARPA and carried out by the team of Pratt & Whitney (P&W), Lucent Technologies (AT&T prior to 1/1/96), with Hood Technologies and Summit Applied Research as small business subcontractors. That work demonstrated the feasibility of using active control techniques to reduce resonant forced vibration levels in gas turbine rotor bl ...

The overall objective of Phase I and Phase II is to develop (1) the mathematical means to design, control, and modify a minesweeping operation in order to minimuze the time needed to nullify a minefield with specified assets in the light of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) products that become available befor and during the mine countermeasure operation and (2) a software imple ...

Throughout government and industry, extremely large volumes of data are being stored with complex requirements in very heterogeneous hardware, software, and communications environments. Infograte, Incorporated has developed a robust software solution that allows users to transparently extract data stored across disparate and geographically dispersed heterogeneous databases from a single user-f ...

The prospects of significantly enhancing antisubmarine warfare (ASW) sonobuoys require exponential improvements in thermal battery capability. The fused-salt primary battery LiSi/CoS2 has shown tremendous progress in meeting the advanced requirements. Adaptation of recent advances in high-rate rechargeable thermal batteries provides a cost-effective approach for fully meeting size 'A' sonobuoy p ...

The ultimate goal of this three phase SBIR proposal is to design, develop, fabricate, and test real- time radiography system for inspecting large CDI castings with the emphasis on the production oriented inspection system. The proposed system takes significant advantage of detector system, data acquisition system, automated data analysis and image display software already developed by Omega. The ...

The proposed project will undertake the research, design, and development of key concepts and technologies for a high-speed electronically tunable channel filter, based on monolithically integrated ultra-high-resolution super-compact grating (UHR-SCG) technology that has been developed in OptoNet. The grating will be realized on Silicon-Photonic Electronic-Photonic Integrated (EPIC) Platform that ...

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 ...

Current otoacostic emission probes used diagnostic evaluation middle and inner ear components of hearing are not capable of producing well-calibrated and high-quality acoustic stimuli that cover the entire frequency range of human hearing and are thus unsuited for rapid evaluation of the range of inner ear damage from ototoxic drugs, noise and the normal process of aging. The accuracy of stimulus ...

The XS-Air engine should provide the highest power density with both diesel and gasoline piston engines. This would be especially true in smaller engines in where turbos or blowers are impractical. The XS-Air engine can solve the aviation industry problem of the potential phasing out Av-gas. The spark ignition XS-Air engine should be able to burn pump gas and still generate extreme power densities ...
