The objective of the proposed work is to determine whether Dioxide Materials' miniature C02 sensors have the potential to be adapted for autonomous measurement of ocean carbon. The existing sensors have many advantages for measurements of ocean carbon. They are much smaller and less costly than the existing sensors, work with much smaller gas samples, and use much less power. The sensors were d ...

The goal of this project is to develop, implement, and experimentally validate a new Differential Global Navigation Satellite System (DGNSS) capable of providing sub-centimeter positioning accuracy for quasi-static scientific, mapping, and survey applications. The main feature of the proposed DGNSS solution is that it leverages GNSS reference data from existing NOAA's Continuously Operational Ref ...

In this Phase II SBIR program, Illinois Applied Research Associates will design, manufacture, and test a 1.06 um optimized Linear Mode (LM) avalanche photodiode (APD) array. The array will be electrically and optically characterized and will be tested for environmental and application constraints for integration into terrestrial and space based applications. The ability to operate in linear mode ...

American Energy Technologies Co. (a woman-owned small business concern of Arlington Heights, IL), will be joined by subcontractors University of Massachusetts (Boston, MA) and Advanced Technology Laboratories of Lockheed Martin Corp. (St. Paul, MN) in order to develop two anti-corrosion technologies with the goal to deploy them in a variety of equipment. The first technology is a top coating whic ...

THIS STUDY WILL FOCUS ON THE FEASIBILITY OF IMPLEMENTING T THE ELECTRONIC/MICRO PROCESSOR BASED COLLECTION ...

A NEW TECHNOLOGY CALLED "CHEMICAL PARAMETER SPECTROMETRY" IS MODIFIED TO BE ABLE TO ANALYZE SOLID, LIQUID, AND GASEOUSSAMPLES. THE EXPERIMENTS PERFORMED IN THIS WORK RESULT IN THE DESIGN FOR A PROTABLE INSTRUMENT (BLACK BOX) THAT CAN IDENTIFY VIRTUALLY ALL HAZARDOUS COMMODITIES. THE HAZARD OUS SPILLS IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM IS PORTABLE, FULLY A YAUTOMATED, AND RUGGED. IT WILL IDENTIFY HAZARDOUS SUBS ...
