Aerospace manufacturers are using composite structures in aircraft and they are the future of aviation. Composites reduce weight and maintenance costs. Today, many composite structures are joined together with fasteners. However to meet future design r

We propose to develop a low SWaP, portable microwave Rb-87 cold atomic clock using pulsed coherent population trapping (CPT). The SWaP goal is to achieve a volume of

The primary goal of this proposed effort is to develop mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) colloidal quantum dot (CQD)-based focal plane arrays (FPAs) to significantly reduce the cost of MWIR photon imagers. In order to realize this goal, it will first be nec

Under this Phase II SBIR, Imaging Systems Technology (IST) will optimize and scale up its UV Plasma- shells with Titanium (IV) Dioxide (TiO2) system to produce a low cost, rugged, lightweight, and highly efficient and versatile water purification system. Plasma-shells are tiny hollow gas encapsulating devices ranging in size from 400 microns to 8.00 mm. Under the EPA Phase I SBIR, IST has successf ...

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 ...

Every year, a significant amount of money is lost due to atmospheric attack of steel parts. A convenient and effective way for corrosion protection is coating the unalloyed steel with a thin layer of zinc (Zn) metal by galvanizing. Pickling is an essential step of this process to ensure a high-quality surface of steel for further processing. In this process, acid is used to remove scale from the s ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will develop approaches for the capture and recovery of phosphorus in municipal reclamation facilities processing under I MGD using an innovative nanostructured sorption media. The captured phosphorous will be recovered from the media by a simple treatment and will be converted to a useful material.Eutrophication is a process in which ...

SRICO proposes to develop novel and practical methods to produce a flexible, robust and highly efficient, low-loss quantum frequency conversion device based on periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN). The focus of the program will be to optimize the device design and operating parameters to achieve less than 1.5 dB end-to-end loss while maintaining nearly 100% conversion efficiency and reducing ...

Some aerospace vehicles components require structural materials with temperature stability near or above 3000?F. Carbon-carbon (C-C) composites are prime materials for these applications because of their unique properties. Current C-C composites fabrication techniques are very expensive and time consuming. They usually require multiple infiltration and carbonization at high temperatures. Thick ...
