"The Air Force and other branches of the Armed Forces require new eyesafe short-pulse laser sources for many applications. These include laser rangefinders with improved range resolution, high-resolution range-gated imaging from UAVs and missiles, and asoptical drivers for frequency conversion to longer wavelengths for the identification of explosive materials, and biological or drug related thre ...

Not Available Paper recycling continues to increase in the United States, with public support and legislative mandates helping boost recycling of all paper grades. Office waste paper is a significant source of high grade paper fiber for recycling, but is currently underutilized, due to the challenges of fully removing xerographic and laser printer toner. These so called *laser inks* are designed t ...

"The Air Force requires the capability to provide cryogenic cooling of electronics, focal plane arrays, and cryogenic fluids for long term (over five year) space missions. In Phase II, we propose to continue developing enabling technology for long-termspace-based low-temperature (

Commercially available tents and vestibules are relatively inaccessible to people who use mobility devices or those with dexterity limitations. The objectives of this project are to develop and test tent-related technology which results in a vestibule and a combined tent and vestibule accessible to people of varying abilities, including people with mobility, dexterity, cognitive and visual impairm ...

"Compositex proposes to continue the development of a revolutionary, high-performance stealth UAV platform. The goal is to develop a small fixed-wing UAV platform that is quiet, undetectable by radar, and can sustain flight at very low airspeeds. Theproposed aircraft system utilizes an upper surface blowing device to propel and control the craft, and also enabling it to attain maximum lift coeff ...

"This STTR Phase II activity will further develop arrays of micro-discharges and build 3 distinct UV lamp prototypes. Based on our Phase I results where we have succeeded in scaling from ~10 micro-discharges in parallel to 900 emitters on a common chip, wewill build novel lamps for germicidal, diagnostic and processing applications. The arrays will be fabricated using semiconductor processing me ...

"Image processing techniques derived from Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) are applied to ladar range images to resolve occlded targets. One approach will use model-driven anisotropic diffusion to replace an occluded area with the maximum a priorisurface that is derived from the observable portions of the image. A second approach will align multiple ladar range images taken from different v ...
