This SBIR project will bring about a major advance and improvement to existing meteorological data systems by utilizing new technological opportunities to develop a meteorological workstation merging data and graphics products from multiple independent systems to yield a single display system that permits efficient assimilation of the information by a user. This system would greatly enhance the ab ...

The specific proposed innovation is the use of an active radiometer in place of conventional radar techniques for measuring rainfall over the earth's surface from satellite platforms. This technique provides a substantial savings in data acquisition time that can be used to increase the scan rate and to improve the spatial resolution (i.e. reduce the footprint) of the measurements. This will provi ...

THE PURPOSE OF THIS RESEARCH PROJECT IS TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF MERGING AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES (EMS) SIMULATOR WITH GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS) IN ORDER TO PRODUCE IEMS(3) (INTELLIGENT EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES SYSTEMS SIMULATOR), A PC-BASED SYSTEM WHICH CAN BE USED FOR BOTH ADDRESSING STRATEGIC PLANNING ISSUES OF EMS SYSTEMS (E.G., SYSTEM CONFIGURATION; VEHICLE LOCATION ...

ECOTEK INTERNATIONAL PROPOSES AN ALL SOLID-STATE VISIBILITY MONITORING SYSETM THAT WILL BE USED TO MONITOR VISIBILITY CONDITIONS ALONG ROADWAYS AND WARN TRAVELERS OF LOW VISIBILITY CONDITIONS. THE PURPOSE OF THE SYSTEM IS TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF MULTIPLE-VEHICLE COLLISIONS AND CONSEQUENT FATALITIES, INJURIES, AND PROPERTY DAMAGES. THE SYSTEM IS BASED ON AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO A WELL-ESTABLISHED ...

ELECTROLYSIS OF LUNAR OXIDES DISSOLVED IN A MOLTEN ELECTROLYTE IS A PROMISING APPROACH TO PRODUCING OXYGEN ON THE MOON FOR PROPULSION AND SUSTAINING HUMAN LIFE. MOLTEN FLUORIDES HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED TO BE ELECTROLYTES IN THE PAST, BECAUSE OF THEIR RELATIVELY LOW MELTING POINT AND THEIR HIGH SPECIFIC ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY. A PROPERLY SELECTED ALL-OXIDE ELECTROLYTE MAY HAVE SIMILAR BENEFICIAL PROP ...

We propose a thin, flexible pressure sensing film with optical out- put consisting of a polymer LED on a piezoelectric polymer substrate. The innovation lies in combining these two types of polymers to make a single sensor which will provide a minimal intrusion method for measuring pressure distributions on structures in free-flight and/or wind tunnel tests. Spatial resolution should be better tha ...

THE COMPANY HAS DEVELOPED A CONCEPT TO PRODUCE FUNCTIONAL SUPERCONDUCTING WIRE USING THE HERETOFORE UNSUCCESSFUL "POWDER-IN-TUBE" PROCESS, DYNAMIC COMPACTION OF THE MELT-PROCESS PHASE OF SHS MATERIAL GENERATION, AND HIGH-PRESSURE OPERATION OF THE RESULTING ALIGNED CRYSTALLINE STRUCTURE. THE PRE-REACTION SHS POWDERS WILL BE PLACED IN A SILVER TUBE. THESE POWDERS WILL THEN BE IGNITED USING NORMAL SH ...

This project will elaborate a conceptand develop a prototype for a remote wireless multimedia computer input device which can be hand-held or strapped to the wrist. The device will incorporate traditional pointing device functionality as well as a neural network-based speech recognition facility capable of interpreting domain-specific vocabularies germane to command and control operations in space ...
