There is a need for non-invasive sensing of electrocardiograms and other vital signs to acquire information from high risk cardiac patients or other long term monitored subjects, continuously and without artifacts. The development of a new type ECG electrode sensor will assure patient compliance and allow this technology to be used long term while lowering medical costs. This proposal is to deve ...

With the high cost of flight testing advanced munitions in an increasingly austere budget environment, significant effort is being devoted to developing ground based alternatives to augment actual flight testing. For maximum realism, the capability is required to test the munitions and their carrying aircraft as an integrated system in a simulated target/threat environment. A current effort is und ...

EXPLORATORY DEVELOPMENT OF AN ADVANCED, DIRECT AIR SAMPLING GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY (GC) MODULE IS PROPOSED. THE GC RIODULE CAN BE READILY COMBINED WITH EXISTING ION MOBILITY SPECTROMETRY (INS) EQUIPMENT FOR DETECTING AND MONITORING CHEMICAL WARFARE AGENTS, E.G., THE CAM (CHEMICAL AGENT MONITOR) CURRENTLY ADOPTED BY SEVERAL NATO MEMBER STATES. THE GC MODULE INCORPORATES A NOVEL, AMBIENT AIR SAMPLING DE ...

The search for replacements for ozone-depleting Halon fire extinguishing agents has been underway for nearly ten years. Many potential replacement agents have been underway for nearly ten years. Many potential replacement agents have been considered, evaluated and tested over the years, yet, there has yet to be a suitable replacement develop[ed of Mainstream's secondgeneration Halon replacements ...

Applied Polymer Systems, Inc (APS) has developed a new plasma spray process capable of applying a polymetric resin binder with high filler levels in coating form over various substrates. The process can be robotically controlled and is environmentally friendly. A vacuum collection system captures vapors, and no solvents are used in the process. The filters can be functional and contribute to surfa ...

Engineering Geometry Systems (EGS) will create a system specification for an integrated system for design and fabrication of custom parts for use in hydrodynamics experiments. The requirements of the system will be identified and a design will be proposed which is based on EGS underlying design for manufacturing technology. EGS technology is especially suited for this custom system since it encomp ...

It is difficult to remove oil and AFFF from voluminous streams. Research has been continously carried out to develop new technologies to be employed in this field of application with little success. Air-sparged hydrocyclone (ASH) flotation technology is a new technology developed by the University of Utah and Advanced Processing Technologies, Inc. It combines the advantages from both conventional ...
