Understanding that saving weight without sacrificing performance on a vehicle is important, the objective of this program is to continue to demonstrate advanced lightweight materials that can have multi-functional capability and be discretely made into parts for DLA. Many applications will have specific requirements of high thermal conductivity, low thermal conductivity, radiation resistance, Mod ...

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 ...

Agve BioSystems in collaboration with Carl A. Batt propose to develop decon-nanoparticles which will leverage ongoing opportunities in enzyme engineering and the fabrication of functionalized magnetic nanoparticles. Enhanced performance will be engineered into the system to improve the catalytic degradation of chemical agents. Through an iterative process optimizing the particles and the enzyme ...

This SBIR Phase II project will confirm the drift reduction potential of the wingtip-mounted device developed in Phase I, through fabrication, installation on an agricultural aircraft, and field testing of the optimized design. Off-target drift of pesticides and herbicides during aerial spray applications remains a major source of environmental concern, due to its potential human health impacts, d ...

Dakota Technologies, Inc. (DTI), has demonstrated successfully key technologies used in the operation of a miniature gas chromatograph (GC) that fits inside a push rod for field screening and quantification of subsurface volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The GC is soft-pushed (no percussion) into the earth and uses a heated microporous inlet membrane on the side of the probe to transfer VOCs from ...

THERE ARE PRESENTLY VAST STORES OF CHLOROFLUOROCARBONS (CFCS) AND BROMOCHLOROFLUOROCARBONS (HALONS) IN USE AS REFRIGERANTS, FIRE SUPPERSSANTS, CLEANING AGENTS, SOLVENTS, PROPELLANTS AND FOAMING AGENTS. SINCE THEY POSE A SERIOUS THREAT TO THE STRATOSPHERIC OZONE LAYER, THEY MUST BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE, AS SPECIFIED IN THE MONTREAL PROTOCOL AND NEW FEDERAL REGULATIONS. CONSEQUENTLY, IT WOULD BE OF ...

ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH CORPORATION (EER) HAS DISCOVERED A RADICALLY NEW METHOD OF BURNING NATURAL GAS. WHILE THE BEST PRESENTLY AVAILABLE GAS COMBUSTION TECHNOLOGIES PRODUCE NOX AT THE 10 TO 20 PPM LEVEL, THIS NEW METHOD ALLOWS THE COMBUSTION OF NATURAL GAS TO BE DONE WITH A PRODUCTION OF NOX WELL BELOW 1 PPM. THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY IS PARTICULARLY WELL SUITED TO APPLICATION IN GAS FIRED D ...
