The objective of the efforts being proposed is to develop high energy density and power density batteries with long cycle life by high-speed additive manufacturing technologies.

Qualtech Systems, Inc. (QSI), in collaboration with Vanderbilt University (VU) proposes to develop a state-of-the art Health Management System (HMS) system consisting of a small form factor GPS-enabled onboard computer, a small display for crew, and sensors for boat and engine vibration, OBD data, engine oil quality monitoring, and battery health monitoring. The HMS system will provide Wi-Fi and w ...

The Biomagnetics Micro Dosimetry System (BMDS) program will design, model, and simulate a microdosimetry system that can measure and create a three dimensional map of weak radiofrequency signals in biological organisms. The heart of the BMDS project is the front end that delivers very sensitive, broad band measurements with high spatial resolution. The front end is a valuable tool in the investiga ...

To further accelerate the commercialization process of our supercapactior yarns, we plan to further lower the production cost, enhance our yearn performance and optimize customer experience via materials and process engineering and innovative platform development. The major deliverable of this sequential Phase II project is to demonstrate the throughput capacity of a large area supercapactior fabr ...

The variational two-electron reduced-density matrix (v2RDM) method provides an effective framework for computer modeling of the electronic structure of complex molecules and materials that exhibit strong correlation effects. In Phase I and Phase II of this STTR we have demonstrated that the GPU-accelerated implementation of the v2RDM-based complete active space self-consistent field (v2RDM-CASSCF) ...

Protocols used for communication suffer bloat from a variety of sources, such as support for legacy features or rarely used (and unnecessary) functionality. Traditionally, the Navy subscribes to a blanket adoption of a standard protocol "as is". Unnecessary features are active and can be accessed by both internal and external systems creating security vulnerabilities. PJR Corporation's (PJR's) Pha ...

Currently fielded multi-beam CDL systems have been developed in an ad-hoc manner consisting of a collection of poorly integrated off the shelf technologies where controllers, radios, routers, firewalls, encryptors, and antennas are bolted together to reduce time to field. Proprietary API’s, electrical interfaces, and hardware interfaces impede the success of the approach and result in a sub ...

West Coast Solutions (WCS) proposes the development of the SSC-X Stirling cryocooler to enable the deployment of infrared (IR) payloads on small satellite platforms. We achieve extreme miniaturization (

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have great potential for high performance RF applications. Theoretical study has shown that the electrical current in a CNT field effect transistor (CFET) is intrinsically linear. Today, linearity is the underlying limitation in increasing the data transport densities of wireless networks. The complex modulation protocols used to achieve higher data rates requires linear am ...

During altitude-induced hypoxia, operator cognitive and physical capacity degrades, compromising individual and team performance. Cognitive degradation is linked to falling brain energy levels, increased reliance on anaerobic energy production and lactate accumulation. Ketones are the evolutionary alternative substrate to glucose for brain metabolic requirements; previous studies demonstrated that ...
