C53-14b-271071The increasing data rates in conventional and scanning transmission electron microscopy, afforded by the developments of faster detectors and novel in-situ methods, requires automation of post- acquisition data analysis and, ideally, identification of regions of interest during experimental data acquisition. The overarching objective of this program is to leverage a suite of cutting- ...

C53-33b-271095Recently developed precision timing detector technology based on silicon Low Gain Avalanche Diode (LGAD) although exhibiting excellent timing performance, cannot attain 10µm position resolution needed for advanced 4D detectors. New small-pitch detector solutions are being developed which necessitates development of complimentary Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) and r ...

C53-02a-271303Open-source standard scientific software and hierarchical data format for data management is the de facto standard for scientific and engineering applications. It is widely used in large-scale simulations of physical phenomena, aircraft flight testing, high-speed neutron and X-ray detectors data acquisition, and many more. One of the known limitations of the software is a lack of mul ...

C53-20b-271305The prospect of nuclear power produced with advanced molten salt-cooled reactor (MSR) designs has garnered the attention of the Department of Energy in conjunction with the private sector. The salts are used to transfer heat from the reacting fuel. All designs describe a chemically stable salt with a melting point near 500°C, heated by the nuclear reaction to a temperature near 700� ...

C49-21a-271327 Many fields of science and applied science use X-rays to study matter at small and fast scales, and the knowledge from these experiments helps power the world economy. Powerful X-ray light source facilities such as synchrotrons and free electron lasers have been developed to study the structure of matter down to the atomic scale, and they can even create “molecular movies” of ch ...

The prospect of nuclear power produced with advanced molten salt-cooled reactor (MSR) designs has garnered the attention of the Department of Energy in conjunction with the private sector. Modern designs describe a chemically stable salt such as FLiNaK with a melting point below 500°C, heated by the nuclear reaction to a temperature near 700°C. Continuous operation of MSR heat-exchange loops req ...

The objective of this Phase II SBIR proposal is to continue the design and qualification efforts for a single-axis accelerometer (NSN 6610-00-151-6684) and perform detailed design and qualification activities for a Torque Motor (NSN 6105-01-326-8652). During Phase II, Kaney will utilize in-house manufacturing and analysis capabilities to produce drawings and manufacturing/qualification plans for t ...

This proposal follows the DLA SBIR Phase 1 Contract SP4701-21-P-0075. It seeks resources to move to Phase 2 so that the lessons learned and data developed in Phase 1 will further expand on the solution, including the field demonstration for replacing the plastic packaging in food service with the biodegradable Cellulosic Bio-Polymer (CBP) packaging to address military needs. Phase 1 was a great le ...

Research on the development of secure operational technology (OT) networks which support the operation of high-valued critical systems, including smart manufacturing, industrial energy delivery, military, and other critical infrastructure, has grown exponentially in the past two decades, responding to the notable increase in frequency and sophistication of state-sponsored and insider attacks. This ...

Currently, climate change due to huge CO2 emissions is a well-recognized subject of widespread public concern. Global CO2 emissions are expected to double by 2030 if no specific countermeasures are taken. This substantial increase has been largely attributed to growing demands for the energy deriving from the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal, residue oil, and natural gases, which accounts f ...
