Alpha and beta particle detectors currently employed in field operations suffer from frequent damage to the aluminized mylar window on the face of the detector.  To address this deficiency, Corvid Technologies, LLC proposes a new type of alpha and beta particle detector that replaces the aluminized mylar window with a permanent layer of epoxy and carbon nanoparticles. In Phase I, Corvid demonstra ...

Corvid Technologies will develop a system capable of being activated after emplacement to conduct follow-on operations using a micro precision flyout vehicle with long loiter time to ensure the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) can conduct their mission. Current unmanned ground sensors do not have the ability to sense and activate a system to conduct a mission within minutes in permissive/non ...

Magneto-Thermal MRAM uses both heat and magnetic field (current)to overcome thermal instabilities of very small memory cells. Self-generated heat in the cell raises the temperature of magnetic material in the cell above the exchange ordering temperature of the magnetic material (either ferromagnetic or anti-ferromagnetic). Magneto-Thermal MRAM is compatible with advances in photolithography down t ...

THE PURPOSE OF THE PROPOSED RESEARCH IS TO DEVELOP A DATABASE OF MATERIALS COMMONLY FOUND IN LUGGAGE. THIS WOULD INCLUDE DATA ON WHAT TYPES OF ARTICLES ARE TYPICALLY FOUND IN LUGGAGE AND DATA ON THE ELEMENTAL COMPOSITION AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF THESE ARTICLES. THE DATABASE WOULD BE USED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF NON-INTRUSIVE LUGGAGE ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES AND, ALSO, IN THEIR SUBSEQUENT APPLICATION IN ...

Commercial satellite services provide a convenient mechanism for over-the-horizon communications among ships, aircraft, and on-shore information sources. The Coast Guard has identified the potential of maritime Web and messaging (e-mail) applications implemented over commercial satellite links to subtantially increase the effectiveness of Coast Guard operations. However, there are two major impe ...

]THE PURPOSE OF THIS PHASE I EFFORT WILL BE TO DEVELOP AND TEST IN PROTOTYPE AN INNOVATIVE FACE MASK TO FIT THE HYBRID III MANIKIN HEADS. THE MASK WILL BE DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY TO BE SUITABLE FOR MEASURING FACIAL LACERATION POTENTIAL DURING VARIOUS TRAUMA RESEARCH EFFORTS. THIS MASK WILL BE CONSTRUCTED OF COMPOSITES THAT MIMIC MANY CHARACTERISTICS OFLIVING HUMAN SKIN AND WILL CAUSE MINIMAL DYNAMIC ...

THE PROPOSED PHASE I EFFORT WOULD EVALUATE THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A NOVEL FIBEROPTIC VISION SYSTEM FOR LARGE MOTOR VEHICLES. A NEW, BETTER MEANS OF SIDE AND REAR VISIONIS NEEDED FOR HEAVY TRUCKS AND BUSES. THE DRIVERS OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE DIFFICULTY SEEING OTHER VEHICLES IN TRAFFIC LANES TO THEIR IMMEDIATE RIGHT. WHEN THE CAB AND TRAILER OFTHE HEAVY TRUCK ARE AT AN ANGLED POSITION OR A HE ...
