A Novel High-Conductance Thermal Interface for Aerospace Electronics
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: AF131077ABSTRACT: Current separable thermal mechanical interfaces (STMIs) found in advanced digital processing electronics are unable to efficiently remove dissipated heat from the active electronics, limiting electrical performance far below their capability. The standard approach produces high thermal resistance (~1.0°C-in./W) with local variations in excess of +/-25%, severely limiting allowable ele ...

Cryocooler for Sensor Cooling in Cryo-Vacuum Test Chambers
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: AF131182ABSTRACT: The Air Force uses specially designed facilities to perform ground testing of infrared detector focal plane arrays at Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC). The current approach for cooling the detectors down to 8 K utilizes liquid helium. The systems to transport and store the liquid helium are expensive to operate and wasteful due to the loss of liquid helium to boiloff. Hel ...

ULTRA-HIGH PERFOMANCE SOLID-STATE REFRIGERATION USING II-VI LOW DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURE
SBC: AMETHYST RESEARCH INC Topic: AF131182ABSTRACT: This program targets development of a high-performance thermoelectric (TE) cooler with a figure-of-merit, ZT>3, which greatly exceeds currently available technology. The cooler is fabricated using Group II-VI compound semiconductors, i.e. HgCdSe or HgCdTe, using a low dimensional structure know as a"superlattice"(SL). The proposed TE coolers will operate at temperatures ranging from 5 ...

Oxidation Resistant Heating Elements for High Temperature Wind Tunnels
SBC: Plasma Processes, LLC Topic: AF131189ABSTRACT: High temperature wind tunnels are needed to replicate the environment vehicles will experience during high Mach number flight. Of particular interest are sustained airflow temperatures of 2800 F. Although this level of performance has been obtained by two of NASA's wind tunnel facilities (i.e. High Temperature Tunnel (HTT) at Langley Research Center and Hypersonic Tunnel Facility ...

Cryodeposit Mitigation and Removal Techniques for Radiometric Calibration Chambers
SBC: OPTICAL SCIENCES CORPORATION Topic: AF12BT10ABSTRACT: Optical Sciences Corporation (OSC) and the University of Alabama in Huntsville"s Center for Applied Optics (UAH/CAO) will demonstrate the feasibility and present a plan for developing optical instrumentation for the monitoring, mitigation, and removal of cryodeposits accumulated on optical and mechanical surfaces in cryogenic-vacuum radiometric calibration chambers. OSC will investigat ...

METSI: Metadata Establishing Trust in SOA-based Information
SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION Topic: AF112041ABSTRACT: Operating in a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) environment is risky because there is limited ability to gauge the quality of information, especially information that has been transformed multiple times as it flows within the SOA. To address this problem, CFDRC built METSI (Metadata Establishing Trust in SOA-based Information) to quantify the Quality of Information (QoI) using seven ...

Integrated or Fused Multi-spectral Sensor Technologies for Missile Warning Sensors (MWS), Hostile Fire Indication (HFI), and Laser Warning (LW)
SBC: OCEANIT LABORATORIES INC Topic: AF112132ABSTRACT: Oceanit will develop a working prototype module that will undergo testing with each category of Threat engagement. We will articulate a clear pathway forward to productization to include package design concepts that meet tactical and environmental considerations. BENEFIT: Dual Use (Military & Commercial) Applications: Production development program for a sensor system to enhance or re ...

Improved Mass Balancing of Turbo Machine Rotors
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: AF112166ABSTRACT: The efficient, effective balancing of jet engine rotors and subassemblies continues to be a challenge for key aerospace applications. While manufacturing methods for balancing have improved significantly over the last ten years, measurement methods and procedures and fixturing have not advanced at the same pace. Modern jet engines require multiple parts and subassemblies to be balance ...

Hole-to-Edge Measurement Tool
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: AF112122ABSTRACT: Accurate determination of the distance between fastener holes and part edges is critical to ensure structural integrity in military aircraft. These measurements are particularly important as part flanges are reduced and tolerances are tightened to save weight and increase performance. Current measurement methods rely on manual calipers and are extremely time consuming, labor intensive ...
