We propose to design, fabricate, and test a novel x-ray detector for use in industrial CT scanners. This linear detector array combines high spatial resolution and long array length to achieve high-resolution scans on large objects. We propose to supplyan x-ray scanner to the Army Research Laboratory for non-destructive testing that includes this linear array with a commercial flat-panel area de ...

The incandescent lamps used in the green threshold lamps that form a line on the front end of an airport runway, have relatively short lives and require constant maintenance. The green filters used in front of the lamps transmit only about 20% of the light. Green light emitting diodes (LEDs) have been improved recently and are reaching brightness levels making it possible to use them in traffic ...

During Phase I of the project, Sharma & Associates, Inc. developed a concept for a high speed freight truck intended for 70-ton, regular freight and bi-modal operation at speeds up to 150 mph. The truck uses a rigid frame and an independent, compliant, primary suspension for its basic architecture. Constant contact side-bearings and yaw dampers were also added to improve dynamic performance. Ve ...

The goal of this project is to develop, prototype, and experimentally validate a new Differential Global Navigation Satellite System (DGNSS) capable of providing sub-centimeter positioning accuracy for quasi-static scientific, survey, and structural health monitoring application. The main feature of the proposed DGNSS solution is that it leverages publically available GNSS reference data from exis ...

ABSTRACT:Sophisticated methods for infiltrating and compromising computer systems have continuously demonstrated their ability to defeat current operating system and network defenses. Computing assets such as the BIOS, hardware device drivers, and COTS hardware from non-trusted supply chains have been proven to include malware and/or Trojan horse applications. These subversive software programs pr ...

Photovoltaics (solar cells) are an attractive technology to provide renewable energy sources for forward operating bases, man-portable power sources, and tactical applications. Solar arrays can provide base power greatly reducing the need for logistical fuels, continuous battery recharging for warfighters on the move, and integrated power sources for remote, autonomous systems, e.g. UAVs. To be ef ...

Our proposal specifically addresses the stated requirements of the solicitation; we will develop and deploy tools, methods, and models for improving collaboration between human and cyber-physical systems. The proposed HARVEST Phase II solution builds on previous Edaptive Computing, IncInc. (ECI) knowledge and technology itself innovative to create a knowledge discovery system which extracts and ...

Small unmanned aerial systems (S-UAS), unmanned ground systems (UGS), vehicle auxiliary power units (APU), and mobile power generation units require high efficiency power systems capable of operating on logistically available fuels (JP-8, diesel) to enable long endurance operation.In particular, S-UASs in the Group 2 (2155 lbs)/Group 3 ( 150 cm2 active area) in the Phase I and then to the stack le ...
