Award Data

This project will produce a Universal Wireless Sensor Interface that allows wireless location and situation dependent communication, data collection and analysis in near real-time with remote environmental sensors. Additionally, an environmental quality management system for remote environmental sensing and real-time monitoring integrated with predictive models to provide a environmental hazard ma ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project addresses the feasibility of producing regenerable sorbents for trace-contaminant control (mainly for on-board waste incineration systems) using a by-product (char) of an on-board waste pyrolysis process. The overall objective is to develop a gas clean-up system based on regenerable, waste-derived sorbents. The emphasis will be on the optimiz ...

Combustion instability in air breathing propulsion engines can lead to catastrophic consequences. Unfortunately, as engines are operated at conditions to minimize pollutant emissions, the risk of crossing the boundary to unstable combustion increases. This Phase I project twill demonstrate the feasibility of an innovative sensing technique that will identify the onset of combustion instability in ...

AJT proposes to develop a low-cost, engine test-stand system for small (500 pound) thrust engines using gaseous, liquid or cryogenic propellants. This test stand would incorporate automated propellant transfer and automated propellant line purge systems. The engines would be configured to a standard test-stand interface, greatly reducing the time required to install and remove various engines. Thi ...

"We propose an innovative technique for ultra rapid, sensitive detection ofcancer specific chromosome rearrangements in solution to facilitate bulkquantification of aberrant chromosomes for early detection of metastatictumor cells. (I) We will apply DNA hybridization in suspension to humanbreast cancer cell lines by combining two separate, novel techniques 1)hybridizing chromosomes in suspension; ...

"The goal of this Phase 1 proposal is to examine the technical feasibility of a cognitive performance self-assessment wearable computer system for operational deployment. We will use the standardized and validated software for assessment of cognitiveperformance, ANAM - Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics, which is a set of computer administered and scored tests of cognitive processing ...

Filters don't exist that are capable of removing virus and bacteria at high enough flow rates to be practical either for space systems or for domestic consumption. In Phase 1 we demonstrated feasibility that our nano ceramic fiber filter could produce sterile water at high flow rates. In Phase 2 we propose to develop performance data on such filters that would provide NASA with the capability for ...
