BOUNDARY LAYER PUMPED PROPULSION
SBC: Advanced Propulsion Inc. Topic: N/AAdvanced Propulsion Inc. proposes a Revolutionary Concept (RevCon) integrated aircraft and propulsion system that provides aircraft drag reduction and propulsion system efficiency increase, thereby improving aircraft fuel efficiency by as much as a factor of two. The key feature is the ducting of a high fraction of the aircraft total boundary layer from distributed airframe inlets to turbofan engi ...

Development of a PC-Based Ship Maneuvering Simulator for Improving Navigation Traffic Within Ports and Harbors
SBC: DYNAFLOW, INC. Topic: 8410The potential for accidents in harbors increases with traffic density. Collisions with other ships or natural obstacles are caused by incorrect controls manipulation by the master in response to some unexpected situation, especially when in a new environment. Continual training for various critical situations on simulators that include realistic topography and the presence of other maneuvering ve ...

Selective Speaker Interface to Support Smart Space Accessible Computing
SBC: Intelligent Automation, Inc. Topic: N/AThe Smart Flow system developed by NIST provides a platform to develop standards that promote the interoperability of devices produced by different manufacturers. The NIST system can acquire and process multiple sensor data such as voice and image in real-time. Many applications such as speaker verification, head trackers, etc. can be implemented under the framework. In Phase 1, we have demonstrat ...

Low-Cost Automated Aerosol Lidar for Air Quality Assessment and Prediction
SBC: OCEANIT LABORATORIES INC Topic: 812Oceanit showed the feasibility of a low-cost, compact, lightweight, eye-safe LIDAR suitable for aerosol gradient detection in a Phase 1 effort. The system is based on an eye-safe laser being developed at Oceanit as part of a 3D scanning ceilometer. The laser can operate at greater power than other systems using non-eye-safe wavelengths, thus it eliminates many of the problems associated with low ...

Large-Area, Low-Cost, High-Resolution X-ray Detector and Electron Amplifier
SBC: ADELPHI TECHNOLOGY INC Topic: N/AThis Phase I Small Business Innovation Research proposal will develop porous dielectrics as a low-cost, large-area detector for high spatial resolution x-ray detection. An alternative to microchannel plates, porous dielectric electron amplifiers are formed by a thin layer, generally less than 1 mm, of a low density dielectric. The microscopic pores formed in such material, provide a natural, but m ...

Rapid Prototyping of continuous fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composites
SBC: Sensintel Inc. Topic: N/AFor propulsion related applications, materials must be able to demonstrate excellent ablation and oxidation resistance at temperature approaching 3500?C, adequate load bearing capabilities, non-catastrophic failure modes, and ability to withstand transient thermal shock. Advanced Ceramics Research, Inc. (ACR) has developed low cost, flexible-manufacturing processes for Zr & Hf-based carbon fiber r ...

Heatpipe Power System (HPS) In-Space Fueling, A Simplified Approach
SBC: Advanced Methods & Materials (AMM) Topic: N/AA major objection to the use of nuclear energy for space applications is the perceived risk involved in the launching of a fully fueled nuclear reactor. Even when it is pointed out that the fuel is in fact not radioactive, concerns persist. It is acknowledged that to design a reactor able to withstand all conceivable launch accidents would result in an impractical heavy design. To avoid the above ...

Autonomous Docking with the Laser Dynamic Range Imager Optical Sensor
SBC: AMERICAN GNC CORPORATION Topic: N/AThis Phase I proposal develops a novel technology to automate the process of docking the Shuttle to the International Space Station (ISS). This technology is based on the Laser Dynamic Range Imager (LDRI) and a cross-plane point tracking algorithm. The LDRI provides the range measurement from the laser unit to the field of view for far or near inspection distances. The LDRI is a dynamic adaptation ...

MagOrion-A Nuclear Propelled MagSail for Human Exploration of the Outer Planets
SBC: ANDREWS SPACE, INC. Topic: N/AManned exploration beyond Mars requires very high specific energy. The only potential solution under discussion is fusion propulsion. However, fusion has been ten years away for forty years. We have an available solution that combines new technology with an old concept ¿ ¿Project Orion¿. The proposed MagOrion Propulsion System combines a magnetic sail (MagSail) with conventional small yield (0. ...

A Linear-Drive Pulse Tube Cooler for Applications Below 6K
SBC: ATLAS SCIENTIFIC Topic: N/AVarious planned NASA missions depend on the availability of reliable and efficient coolers that achieve temperatures below 6K. These coolers are needed as the upper stage for lower temperature coolers such as dilution refrigerators or adiabatic demagnetization refrigerators. Astronomical missions utilize such low temperatures to enhance infrared detector sensitivity and to cool optics. Low tempera ...
