Suspended ceiling tiles are widely used in commercial and residential construction because they offer flexibility and easy access to utilities. Most of the available tiles absorb water, resulting in sagging, staining, and mold/mildew growth. They also contain potentially hazardous chemicals and release airborne fibers when broken or cut. Existing tiles are not durable, requiring frequent replaceme ...

Establish a radiation-aware analysis capability in a commercial EDA design flow that will enable first-pass success in radiation-hardened by design (RHBD) for DoD ASICs in much the same way that existing EDA design suites ensure first pass functionality and performance success of complex ASICs destined for commercial applications. Layout-aware, calibrated single-event radiation models that captur ...

A new generation of high power, high energy supercapacitor/Li battery hybrid consisting of load bearing cells which can be embedded into a vehicle structure is proposed. The system design is highly modular and in the early stages of development at Micron Corporation. Preliminary test results at Micron indicate that the chosen structure of the energy storage components, using construction concepts ...

Hyperspectral imaging at full short- and extended short-wavelength infrared spectral band (0.92.5 m) has important military applications. When used for imaging, a SWIR camera can operate at night using light reflected off the subject in the scene, generating high resolution images with details such as shadows and surface roughness. Compared to thermal infrared imaging, SWIR images look more like v ...

In this document, a proposed modular detector system, intended for used as part of an existing high energy computed tomography system is described. Each detector module would be comprised of a cadmium tungstate linear detector array (LDA) and a Varian PaxScan 1515DXT Digital Image Receptor. The proposed design would couple the bottom face of the LDA to the 1515DXT, which would allow the 1515DXT to ...

The goal of this project is to develop a novel Surface Haptic feedback solution for geospatial 3D/4D visualization. Tangible Haptics LLC is proposing to apply a new technology that allows for control of both direction and magnitude of the in-plane forces felt by a users fingers while exploring a touch screen. Control over both the direction and magnitude of fingertip forces is important because it ...

Recent research by the Army has indicated that silver-based alloys will serve as a superior replacement material for tantalum liners in EFPs.EFPs must have high ductility while experiencing very high strain rates (104-107 s-1) in order to form coherent jets.Strengthening Ag/Ag-based alloys will allow for complete replacement of tantalum for EFPs, providing for superior performance.Under this SBIR ...

To overcome the limitations, costs, and risks associated with built in place wooden platforms, Hy-Tek Manufacturing Co. Inc. herein proposes an innovative approach to drastically increase the capabilities of raised platforms used for expeditionary shelters on forward operating bases. This approach involves the development of a Modular Expeditionary Platform System (MEPS). HMCs proposed MEPS concep ...

The Air Force has identified a need for the creation of a common streaming model for 3D data that is agnostic to the display technology. To address this need, Third Dimension Technologies (TDT) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) propose to form a c...

ABSTRACT: The result of this project will be integration of an advanced high-fidelity hydrocode into the MS Windows-based DoDEndgame Framework infrastructure through use of a flexible, open-source application integration infrastructure developed and supported by Illinois Rocstar. To perform the work, Illinois Rocstar will develop an extension to the MEVA application that allows for general couping ...
