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 ...

The new 10-ppb drinking water standard for arsenic is expected to impact 10% of the nation's community drinking water systems. Large water systems can remove arsenic through their chemical coagulation processes; however, compliance is a much greaterchallenge for systems supplying fewer than 10,000 users, so called

Given two closely related pieces of software X and Y, where Y differs from X through a number of small but important (from a security point of view) modifications that were done to Y, the

Researchers at Astralux, Inc. in collaboration with PowerSicel, Inc and the University of Colorado at Boulder propose to develop hybrid SiC wafers using a novel technique. Specifically, our goal is to commercialize low-defect, epi-ready 3-inch and 4-inchSiC wafers. We will develop conducting substrates for both near-dc high voltage/power and optoelectronics, as well as semi-insulating wafers for ...

The plasma surface flow controllers, or plasma actuators, are based on momentum transfer created by either locally accelerating the charged species of the plasma in the electric field or by globally accelerating the charged species of the plasma via aninduced traveling wave imposed by electric field generated by several phases of applied high voltage. Plasma based surface flow controllers have al ...

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 ...

The Bioastronautical Systems Development Company (BSDC) proposes to develop habitat technologies for conducting long-term commercial research with mice in microgravity. Our research addresses solicitation section B4.02 Space Commercialization for the design/development of microgravity payloads for space station applications that lead to commercial products or services. In partnership with BioServe ...

Boulder Nonlinear Systems Inc. (BNS) proposes to use its expertise in liquid crystal spatial light modulators (SLMs) and optical phased arrays to investigate the development of a novel programmable lens for wide field of view agile imaging. The primaryfocus of the proposed effort will be to develop a compact optical system capable of foveated imaging, whereby, similar to the functioning of the hum ...

Boulder Nonlinear Systems, Inc. (BNS) proposes to use its expertise in liquid crystal optical phased arrays (OPAs) and spatial light modulators (SLMs) to investigate a novel optical head for space-based multibeam laser communications. The primary focus ofthe proposed effort will be to establish the feasibility of using a liquid crystal beam steering device in place of a gimbaled mirror to produce ...
