The objective of this project is to build on the successful feasibility studies of Phase I to develop and to start commercialization of a new FE/MBS software that allows for the integration of computational geometry methods. This code will be designed to meet DOD and industry needs for the simulation of complex engineering and physics systems including vehicle system models with significant detail ...

Two-electron reduced-density-matrix (2-RDM) methods represent all of the electrons in any molecule or material with only two electrons by replacing the wave function by the 2-RDM as the basic variable for quantum many-electron theory. The 2-RDM methods, developed by David Mazziotti at The University of Chicago with support from the Army Research Office, have polynomial scaling with system size, al ...

A team at EP Purification has performed research for the development and commercialization of low-cost microchannel plasma reactor modules capable of efficiently producing ozone for water treatment and other environmental applications in a slim form factor and size. The conservation of water resources for human consumption is a growing national priority. Ozone is a unique purification agent as it ...

This proposed work will to demonstrate the feasibility of developing predictive computational models and tools to exploit the effect of the electromagnetic field in the processing of high strength gear and bearing steels. This approach enables tailored microstructures with enhanced properties, especially hardness and fatigue strength, beyond the current state-of-the-art. This includes the develop ...

As an SBIR Phase I effort, CTS proposes to develop a mobile containerized cold-storage facility, using CO2 as a refrigerant, capable of conditioning 2/3rds of a 20' container to 38?F and 1/3rd of the container to -5?F at an ambient of 135?F, with a coefficient of performance (COP) greater than one. The refrigeration system will also have 30% reserve capacity at these conditions. The individu ...

U.S. ARMY CECOM HAS IDENTIFIED THE NEED TO DEVELOP AND DEMONSTRATE IMPROVED TRANSPORT TECHNOLOGIES FOR MULTIMEDIA C3 COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS. BENEFITS TO BE OBTAINED INCLUDE ENHANCED SECURITY AND ANTI-JAM SURVIVABILITY, HIGH DATA FLOW EFFICIENCY AND GREATER USE OF WIRELESS TO REPLACE HARD CABLED NETWORKS. THE PROPOSED PROGRAM BRINGS TOGETHER UNIQUE CAPABILITY AND DOD COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS EXPERIENC ...

RESEARCH WILL BE CONDUCTED BY HICHEM CORPORATION, TO DEVELOP A NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR PYROLYSIS OF SCRAP TIRES. DISPOSAL OF USED TIRES IS A BIG PROBLEM IN THE WORLD, ESPECIALLY USA, SINCE MORE THAN 2.5 MILLION TIRES ARE DISCARDED EACH YEAR. MOST OF THESE TIRES ARE DISPOSED IN LANDFILLS. PYROLYSIS OF SCRAP TIRES HELPS TO RECOVER AND REUSE MOST OF THE VALUABLE CHEMICAL AVAILABLE IN TIRES. PYROLYSIS OF S ...

Using a new, proprietary, core technology, Receptor Laboratories, Inc. (RLI) proposes to identify peptides which could be used directly as injectable drugs to thwart the toxic effects of ricin poisoning and consequently eliminate it as a military threat. This technology has the potential to synthesize a significant fraction of the total possible 2-10 residue peptides (greater thatn 10 to the thirt ...

The hapten molecule CF3(CH3)P(OR)3 which mimics the transition state for hydrolysis of organophosphates such as soman will be synthesized. A protein conjugate will be used for monoclonal catalytic antibody production. A key element of the hapten is that it is a phosphorane (pentacoordinate phosphorus) and contains the CF3PCH3 group. The synthesis depends upon new chemistry which we have discovered ...

The technologies of Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) are becoming a cornerstone of military operations and research. Examples include DIS based training programs such as the Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT) and emerging R&D environments such as the Battlefield Distributed Simulation Development (BDS-D) Battle Labs. Audio is a critical element in simulation. The perceived reality (or fi ...
