Accurate Automation Corporation proposes a three-pronged effort to build on the Phase I program to develop technologies in support of the NASA Hyper-X program and the X-43 series of research vehicles (X-43A, X-43B, and X-43C). The data and technologies developed under the proposed Phase II program will also support the development and testing of future hypersonic vehicles and reusable launch vehic ...

MEASUREMENT OF VELOCITY FIELDS AND FLOW RATES IS OF PRIME IMPORTANCE IN MANY AREAS OF INDUSTRY AND FLUID DYNAMICS RESEARCH. THE RESEARCH PROPOSED HEREIN WOULD RESULT IN A NONINTRUSIVE MEANS OF DETERMINING THE MAGNITUDE AND DIRECTION OF VELOCITY AND THE CORRESPONDING FLOW RATES BY THE USE OF LASER TOMOGRAPHY. LASER TOMOGRAPHY MAKES USE OF THE FACT THAT, FOR PROPERLY TUNED LASERS, THE DECAY OF LASER ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project uses wireless handheld devices that are interconnected to create an educational simulation architecture called C5, supporting simulations that are compact, connected, continuous, customizable, and collective. C5 tightly connects four information technologies: handheld devices to run individual and distributed simulations; a desktop computer ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will develop Mobility Agents that help persons with cognitive disabilities use public transportation systems and help caregivers customize these agents to serve the specific needs of the travelers. Increasingly, public transportation systems are equipped with GPS (Global Positioning System) systems connected to control centers through dedica ...

This Small Business Technology Transfer Phase I project will apply novel Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) technology for the encapsulating of ultrafine particle surfaces used in certain advanced materials for aerospace applications and drug delivery. Ultrafine sized iron particles will be nanocoated with alumina providing film thicknesses of 50, 25, 12.5, 6.3, 3.2, 1.6, and 0.8 nanometers. The partic ...

This proposal will present an innovative Phase I research and design plan for a reliable LOX pumping system for use in NASA vehicle loading. Due to seal problems with the current LOX loading pumps, the main focus of the Phase I effort will involve design and development of an innovative sealing solution that does not use a failure prone mechanical seal. The seal solution proposed is a combination ...
