The Use of Boron Nitride for Improved Cold-Cathode Electron Field Emission Technology
SBC: Electrodynamic Applications Inc Topic: N/ALow-power Hall thrusters offer potentially important advantages for certain military applications but issues of lifetime and efficiency degradation at lower powers are issues hindering its utilization. A factor impacting efficiency is that thestate-of-the-art techniques for electron generation used for neutralization (such as hollow cathodes operating on the same propellant as the thruster) do no ...

Next Generation Hall effect Thruster Concepts
SBC: Kaufman & Robinson, Inc. Topic: N/AThe purpose of this proposal is the research and development of low power (about 100 W) close-drift thruster with improved magnetic field. The patented design of the magnetic field makes possible to dramatically reduce the permissible size of aconventional stationary plasma thruster (SPT) that is limited by magnetic saturation of the inner magnetic path. The thruster with our improved magnetic f ...

The Software Therapist: Usability Problem Diagnosis through Latent Semantic Analysis
SBC: KNOWLEDGE ANALYSIS TECHNOLOGIES, LLC. Topic: N/AKnowledge Analysis Technologies (K-A-T) and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) will partner to fulfill this Research and Development effort. We propose an unprecedented suite of Usability Engineering software tools to bebuilt upon the conceptual foundation of Virginia Tech's User Action Framework (UAF). We will use K-A-T's proprietary Latent Semantic Analysis (LS ...

Conductive Polymer Elastomers as Gap Treatment Material for Aircraft
SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC. Topic: N/AThe Air Force maintains a fleet of aircraft that depend on low-observability to successfully carry out their missions. This low-observability depends on a continuity of electrical conductivity at the outer mold line of the aircraft, and thus the panelseams and gaps must be filled with a conducting material. Currently, metal-filled elastomers or resins are used, but these materials suffer from po ...

Induction-based Thermographic Inspection of Composites
SBC: THERMAL WAVE IMAGING INC Topic: N/ARapid growth in the performance and capabilities of thermography, and the increased use of composite materials in the construction and repair of military and commercial aircraft, has strongly positioned it as a viable NDI technique. In Phase I, ThermalWave Imaging, Inc. and UD-CCM propose to develop an AC coupled, non-contact Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) technique that can evaluate 3-D state o ...

Photonic nose" for chemo- and bio-agent detection: a novel surface enhanced Raman approach"
SBC: VESCENT PHOTONICS LLC Topic: N/ASurface enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) has great potential as a tool chemical and biological detection. First, ultra-sensitivity is provided by remarkable Raman enhancement factors (>10^14); even delving into the ultimate limit for any sensor, singlemolecule detection. Second, since Raman scattering does not require a fluorescent analyte, SERS offers great generality in the range of detectable ...

Software Integration for Computational Cognitive Models in Virtual Environments
SBC: Adaptive Cognitive Systems Topic: AF07T020Development of a general purpose software interface between cognitive models and 3D virtual environments requires innovation and research in cognitive abstractions and interfaces, as well as a thoughtful application of software architecture and engineering principles. We propose to embed these innovative cognitive abstractions in a middleware layer that offers “plug-and-play” operation for ar ...

Modeling and Simulation of the Stability of ORSC Main Combustion Chambers
SBC: IN SPACE, L.L.C. Topic: AF06T005The potential for combustion instability has historically been a hindrance in developing rocket engines, and nearly always represents the major technical risk in engine developments. This proposal addresses innovative approaches toward prediction of liquid rocket engine combustion instability, as well as innovations in full-scale engine stability verification. Specific objectives are to demonstrat ...

Perception for Realistic Cognition in Virtual Environments (PRCVE)
SBC: SOAR TECHNOLOGY INC Topic: AF07T020We propose the development of a general software infrastructure for simplifying the integration of computer-game software with cognitive modeling tools. The software is designed to meet the requirements of two state-of-art cognitive models, one focused on spatial reasoning, the other on visual imagery. The approach extracts visual scene information from a computer game, represents it in a common ...
