Ganuna (7)-ray lenses are an advanced technology currently under development at Argonne National Laboratory for arms control application. The purpose of this proposal is to address whether y-ray lens technology can enable an improved system for imaging radioactive isotopes in patients. In nuclear medicine, it is often desirable to generate a y-ray image that shows the exact areas where an emitting ...

The occurrence of causative agents such as Cryptosporidium parvum and other pathogens in water supplies presents a critical issue. Transmitted through water and animals, these organisms provide a reservoir of infection, which results in the excretion of the environmentally stable cysts or oocysts that are impervious to inactivation by many drinking water disinfectants. Cryptosporidium infections a ...

Biology provides a vast number of examples of nanostructures produced at a level of precision that is superior to those that we can produce in the laboratory. The diversity of naturally occurring S-layers suggests that the nature of these self-assembledstructures is genetically controlled and can therefore be manipulated through recombinant processes. In this Phase I research plan, Agave BioSyst ...

THE COLOR FILTERS CURRENTLY USED TO CONVERT BLACK-AND-WHITE LCD DISPLAYS TO COLOR DISPLAYS SEVERELY LIMIT THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE DISPLAYS BECAUSE AVAILABLE COLOR FILTER MATERIALS (DYES AND GLASSES) ARE INHERRENTLY RATHER BROADBAND. CONSEQUENTLY, IF THEY ARE DENSE ENOUGH TO LIMIT THE TRANSMITTED LIGHT TO A REASONABLY NARROW BAND FOR COLOR PURITY, THEY ALSO CUT DOWN ON THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE TRANSMITT ...

The sample support problem in space-time adaptive processing (STAP arises from the requirement to adapt to a changing interference environment where the available wide-sense-stationary sample support is severely limited for direct implementation ofadaptive algorithms. In this proposal by combining several approaches such as (i) forward/backward subaperture-subarray smoothing techniques (ii) alter ...

The sample support problem in space-time adaptive processing (STAP) applicationsarises from the requirement to adapt many spatial and temporal degrees-of-freedom (DOF) to a changing interference environment that includes clutter and jammers. Often, in heterogeneous overland strong clutter environments, the available wide sensestationary sample support is severely limited to preclude the direct imp ...

Compact Software, a leading software company in development of CAD tools for microwave and RF has teamed up with Avoca Laboratories, a pioneering company in the field of quasi-optics and Cornell University to develop a novel planar high power quasi-optical amplifier array. The array is based on successful experimental work at Cornell through Raytheon support. The design is based on a series of uni ...
