Adiabatics, Inc. has been involved in the field of ceramic composite coatings and high temperature uncooled Low Heat Rejection (LHR) diesel engine development for the past 15 years. Recent developments in previous high temperature tribology study has shednew light on the possiblity of coming up with a viable solution for the high temperature tribology puzzle.Adiabatics' proposes a 3

Unique challenges face agriculture diagnostics, dictated by the small profit margins in crop production and the need for rapid, reliable assay information under highly variable environmental conditions. The need to identify genetically modified organisms (GMOs) has recently become acute due to new legislation, public demands, global transport of plants, and commercial processing of food and fiber. ...

This program will eliminate all lubrication oil and oil filter replacement in the HMMWV and FMTV for the entire vehicle service life. This will be accomplished by delivering to the US Army a retrofit lubrication filter, immediately compatible withexisting hardware, which will install and operate in the existing envelope, provide superior full flow filtration to existing filters, be factory fit or ...

AVEKA proposes the use of one of its proprietary leaching processes to dehydrate water-wet pelletized nitrocellulose (PNC). This is a process which will be safe, economical and will allow continuous processing during the dehydration step in thepelletization process. It is also a process that can utilize standard industrial leaching/extraction equipment with some modifications. The successful co ...

Rural communities benefit economically from revenues generated by outdoor recreationists. Participation in outdoor recreation provides numerous physical, social and health benefits. This project could increase the numbers of people who camp, and bring in revenue to rural areas by offering improved accessibility to campers with disabilities. Tents and vestibules are relatively inaccessible to peopl ...

The Phase I efforts aimed at establishing the feasibility of Air Film Damping for controlling vibration induced high-cycle fatigue (HCF) in gas turbine engine components. To establish this goal, current commercially available finite element software wasutilized to develop a methodology for predicting the effects of Air Film Damping on dynamic response of simple components such as beams and plates ...

In the production of rice crops, there is a considerable amount of biowaste generated in the forms of hulls and straw. Hundreds of millions of tons of rice hulls are generated annually. Rice hulls have been utilized as biofuels and as a supplement in animal feed. However, the market for hulls is a small portion of the hulls generated, and this results in landfilling the excess. Rice hull ash gener ...
