ABSTRACT: Resodyn Corporation proposes to develop a portable, cost effective, near-surface residual stress measuring tools based on electromagnetic principles. Resodyn Corporation has patented technology developed for validating cold expanded button head rivet holes.The first application in Phase I is to apply this technology to countersunk cold expanded rivet holes in 7075 aluminum. In Phase I ...

ABSTRACT:The development of compact, reliable inertial navigation systems is essential for applications where GPS-based systems are ineffective or unavailable. This Phase I SBIR will establish the feasibility of developing an ultra-stable, compact, robust, integrated laser source suitable for atom-based precision navigation and timing (PNT) systems. AdvRs design is enabled by capitalizing on well- ...

ABSTRACT: RightPSI, Inc. AF-151-169 Proposal # 2084 Volume One: Technical Abstract RightPSI has 8 years of experience in visual tire pressure indication. Research and engineering development has resulted in the Fill Through Tire Pressure Indicator (FTTPI), an effective, patented product for civilian vehicles. Popular Mechanics magazine recognized the product design with an Editors Choice Award in ...

ABSTRACT:The U.S. Air Force (USAF) and the aerospace industry have a critical need for reliable harsh-environment sensors that can deliver real-time monitoring in a turbine engine environment. During Phase I, Environetix confirmed that most harsh environment technologies that rely on wired sensors or complicated wireless hybrid systems have their reliability compromised by the wires or the connect ...

ABSTRACT:Under this Phase II SBIR contract, Bridger Photonics and Montana State University-Spectrum Lab will design, build and deliver both a statistical scintillation tomographic system and a coherent tomographic wavefront sensor (CTWS). Both proposed systems meet the long term Air Force needs with respect to the full characterization of atmospheric turbulence along horizontal or slant paths. The ...

A PHASE I FEASIBILITY STUDY IS PROPOSED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A 2400 DEGREE KELVIN GAS SAMPLE CELL WHICH IS CAPABLE OF SIMULATING THE COMBU STION PRODUCTS OF HYDROGEN-AIR SCRAMJET PROPULSION SYSTEM AT PRESURES FROM 0.5 TO 2.0 ATMOSPHERES, FLOWS FROM 0 TO 1.0 STANDARD LITERS PERMI NUTE, AND A CELL COMPOSITION OF AIR WITH 20 PERCENT WATER VAPOR BY WEI GHT. ADDRESSED WITHIN THE PROPOSAL IS THE PRIMA ...

There exist many waste sites where the detailed characterization of the contamination needs to be performed to determine whether or not active remediation is necessary. These tests should be performed in situ since many of the contaminants are volatile. In addition, some of the sites are contaminated with radioactive waste, making in-site detection of contaminants difficult because the detectors b ...
