The objective of this SBIR research project is to develop a treatment for interlaminar reinforcement that maintains the composite"s in-plane properties. Because the interlaminar region is a critical component of the composite and no current technology adequately addresses its weaknesses, this research has the potential for major commercial and technological impacts. The current technology gap to a ...

The purpose of this proposal is to meet the needs outlined in Navy SBIR topic N211-024.  Zippertubing proposes to help develop a sunshade cover for use with a munitions lifting assembly and meeting all associated performance requirements.  Zippertubing will research adequate materials and work with vendors to determine what modifications or custom formulations will be required to meet or exceed ...

YIELECTRIC COATINGS ON VEHICLES CAN ALTER THEIR RADAR IMAGE SIGNIFICANTLY. THIS PROPOSAL IS DIRECTED TO DETERMINING NUMERICALLY THE REFLECTIVITY FOR AN OBJECT COVERED BY A DIELECTRIC LAYER. A CALCULATION WILL BE DONE USING BASIC PHYSICAL PRINCIPLES TO DEFINE THE THEORETICAL BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM FOR THE DIELECTRIC LAYER. THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM WILL BE OBTAINED NUMERICALLY USING MATRIX INVER ...

XML Cross-Domain Guard (X2DG) is an advanced rules-based solution to the problem of sharing content across security domains. Operating a guard product typically requires a “man in the loop.” And changing the behavior of a guard typically requires skilled and time-consuming reprogramming. Within military coalitions and among intelligence organizations such delays are unacceptable. X2DG allows a ...

It is currently nearly impossible to define, manage and deploy the rules for secure information access in an agile and consistent manner. Moreover, there is no robust rules-based implementation for cross-domain message filtering (higher-security to lower-security transfers). Without the ability to enact and deploy XML-based security policy (rules sets) quickly, easily, and with a minimum of man-in ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this project is to extend the development of a novel compound that can reprogram memory T lymphocytes to induce tolerance in allergic rhinitis (AR). AR is one of the most common chronic diseases in the United States (US) and is estimated to affect more than 50 million people [1,2]. As a result, the annual US economic burden of AR exceeds 12 billio ...

50% of the entire cost to put a million-dollar satellite into orbit comes from the satellite’s solar panels. Even worse, these panels lose 10-15% efficiency each YEAR from radiation exposure. These Chinese manufactured solar panels put U.S. national secur

Present, laser based, countermeasure systems are too large and too expensive for deployment. Aculight will apply its propritary optical mounting techniques to reduce the size and cost of these IR transmitters. Further, Aculight will remove the power,controls and diode laser pumps from the laser head allowing direct mounting on Navy high performance aircraft pointing and tracking turrets. The re ...

WE WILL EXTEND TO THE WORKPLACE AN EMERGING THEORETICAL/EMPHIRICAL LITERATURE ON SELF- REGULATED GOAL PURSUIT, IN WHICH COGNITIVE CONSTRUALS OF PERSONAL LIFE TASKS OR GOALS HAVE BEENFOUND TO RELATE TO IMPORTANT ADJUSTMENTAL OUTCOMES, INCLUDING DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, LIFE SATISFACTION, PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS, AND HEALTH CARE UTILIZATION. A NEW ASSESSMENT PROCEDURE, THE GOAL SYSTEMS QUESTIONNAIRES (GSQ), O ...

The Workforce Effectiveness Augmented Reality (WEAR) training program is an effective workforce solution. Our software platform combines three main focal points: learning theory, augmented reality (AR), and current USAF effective workforce training. This approach has two immediate applications we have identified based on the specific needs of two different Air Force bases (Tinker and Robins). The ...
