We propose the development of an acoustic recognition platform that can identify and locate specific sounds in high noise environments, and that can act as a foundation for non-line-of site detection and proactive alerts for other technologies such as cameras and UAVs. The proposed system is based on fundamental principles of neurobiological systems, i.e., it incorporates mathematical models and ...

Development of adaptive, intelligent acoustic recognition/alert systems for security breaching noise detection, close proximity danger identification and perimeter protection using Safety Dynamics’ core technology, the Dynamic Synapse Neural Network (DSNN).

The SBIR Phase II project will initially involve engineering, testing, and evaluation of a ground testable low drag-ram air turbine generator prototype used to determine the design requirements of a flight worthy unit. The design will be modified asrequired based on test results and analysis by computer modeling techniques prior to building two flight worthy prototypes.The prototype production pr ...

Desire to operate gas-turbine engines at higher gas temperatures, beyond melting points of metal airfoil components, for improved engine efficiency and performance, drives demand for more durable, less conductive ceramic thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) that insulate metals from hot gas streams. Particularly for aircraft, TBCs must withstand the most demanding temperature gradient and stress from ...

An innovative tunable vibration absorber (TVA) concept was developed in the Phase I feasibility study. This design was selected among others to be developed in full scale in Phase II and Phase II Option based on a detailed theoretical modeling, smallprototype test results, and a cost analysis, which were conducted in Phase I.In Phase II and Phase II Option a new generation of TVA utilizing a clas ...

Current coating methodologies for geometrically irregular surfaces have become increasing complex and expensive to apply. Yet surfaces exposed to corrosive environments can still suffer the risk of corrosion. While the Navy has invested in edge retentive coating systems, application procedures still require the application of multiple coats due to the challenges inherent in coating complex and ir ...

Sterile and pyrogen-free water for injection (WFI) is an essential ingredient in parenteral and blood products. Applied Research Associates recently demonstrated a novel thermal approach that can achieve fast and virtually complete sterilization anddepyrogenation of potable water, and eliminate the possibility of bacteria and pyrogen buildup within the water conversion system (Navy STTR N99-T008 ...
