We propose a system to determine object attitude from special video imagery taken from two locations, with an image analysis system based on the Fourier Transform, which provides the spatial power spectrum of the image. The Fourier transform of an image represents the information in terms of angles and spatial frequencies. In this case we are interested only in the angles. The transform of a mis ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS SBIR EFFORT IS TO DEVELOPE AN IR SCRENE PROJECTOR BASED UPON IR LASER DIODES WHICH CAN BE USED IN HWIL SIMULATIONS TO TEST MISSILE SYSTEMS. THE GOAL OF THE PHASE I EFFORT IS TO DEVELOPE A SINGLE CHANNEL LASER DIODE IR PROJECTION SYSTEM TO DEMONSTRATE THE PERFORMANCE CAPABILITIES OF THE TUNABLE DIODE LASERS. THIS DOCUMENT PRESENTS AEGIS RESEARCH'S PROPOSAL FOR THE PHASE I EFFO ...

IN GENERAL, PROTEINS FOLD WITH HYDROPHOBIC RESIDUES BURIED, AWAY FROM WATER. REVERSIBLE PROTEIN FOLDING DUE TO HYDROPHOBIC INTERACTIONS RESULTS FROM INVERSE TEMPERATURE TRANSITIONS WHERE FOLDING OCCURS ON RAISING THE TEMPERATURE. SINCE WARM-BLOODED ANIMALS PROVIDE AN INFINITE HEAT RESERVOIR, THE TRANSITION TEMPERATURE, TT, NOT THE ENDOTHERMIC HEAT, DETERMINES THE FOLDED STATE AT PHYSIOLOGICAL TEMP ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING CLASS 28 IO KW (12.5 EVA) AND 30 KW (37.5 KVA) AUXILIARY POWER UNITS THAT ARE LIGHTER THAN PRESENT M D INVENTORY WITH 120 VOLT A.C. - 3% AT 60 HZ AT A .8 POWER FACTOR THAT HAVE MAXIMUM NOISE LEVELS OF 7SDB (A) AT ONE METER OUTSIDE OF THE SHELTER AND SSDB (A) INSIDE THE HUMAN FACTORS COMPARTMENT. VIBRATIONAL OSCILLATION IS ...

An innovative approach is proposed for the development of a low cost Air Turbo Rocket (ATR) propulsion system by using Off-the-Shelf (OTS) component technology. The proposed ATR propulsion system will be capable of delivering up to 500 lbf boost thrust and 265 lbf of fully throttlable sustained thrust with a 10-1 turndown ratio. All propulsion module integration requirements will be focused toward ...

Recent studies by CFD Research Corporation (CFDRC) have shown that pintel, rotating sleeve/iris and butterfly variable flow control concepts offer the most promise. During Phase I CFDRC will collaborate with Atlantic Research Corporation to synergize this program with an ongoing SBIR Phase II addressing advanced solid propellant chemistry for next generation air-breathing tactical missile thrust ...

Current technologies such as digital RF memories and surface acoustic wave devices which have supported the delay of microwave signals have undesirable performance limitations. Advances in fiber optic and MMIC technologies have made fiber optic delay lines a viable alternative to the traditional methods of microwave signal delay for improved dynamic range, signal linearity, power consumption, phy ...

This effort will develop and demonstrate the design of a Doppler-based laser radar system to measure in-bore velocity of a projectile accelerated by an electromagnetic launcher. The system will measure the absolute velocity at 30 microsecond intervals for a duration of at least 30 milliseconds. The velocity measurement resolution will be at least 10 meters per second. Absolute velocity measurem ...
