Proposed is a new concept for high effectiveness regenerative heat exchangers which are critically needed to develop efficient cryocoolers for operation at temperatures of 10K and below. Development of light weight, power efficient, long life cryocoolers capable of providing refrigeration at and below 10K has become a critically-pacing technology for spaceborne instrumentation. The best current 10 ...

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 ...

UBC, INC., AN ENGINEERING FIRM PERFORMING RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, AND LIMITED PRODUCTION OF ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY OVER THE ENTIRE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM, SPECIALIZING IN MILLIMETER WAVE AND INFRARED SENSORS, PROPOSES AN SBIR PROGRAM TO PROVIDE DESIGN, SUPPORTING ANALYSIS AND BRASS-BOARD DEVELOPMENT LEADING TO A W-BAND POLARIZATION DIVERSE FOUR PLANE MONOPULSE RADAR WITH DYNAMICALLY ADJUSTABLE POLAR ...

The Aeronix Phase I task will demonstrate the application of an innovative parallel processing computer architecture and parallel processing programing envirorment to a class of problems associated with the real time detection, recognition, acquisition and tracking of multLple objects in a high rate image sensor environment. The Phase I task will examine the problems associated with the multiplici ...

A new method is proposed for the development of stable, high speed electro-optic polymers for optical waveguide devices such as switches and couplers. Thin polymer films will be produced by a new process that we refer to as flash evaporation. The process is based on negative electron beam photoresist technology, capable of easily processing thin-film and waveguide structures on various substrates, ...

The goal of this project is to develop new approaches and innovative ideas, which are needed to represent oceangraphic satellite imagery using data structures of software architecture that facilitate storage, transmission, processing throughput and accuracy of automated analysis results. Wavelet representation provides a unified framework for techniques including image features analysis, image com ...

Our industrialized society places a premium on the visually-based ability to resolve fine-spatial detail in the environment. But the perceptual demands of new aircraft display systems, and indeed the tasks of out-the-window performances (landing, low-level attack, etc.) in aviation may involve temporal acuity (e.g., motion perception) as much as spatial acuity. Further, an inability to "switch" at ...

A research proposal to develop a very high heat flux heat exchanger to cool semiconductor laser arrays is presented. The proposed design will be based on currently available microchannel heat exchangers. In order to enhance their performance so that they may be used for the proposed application, a phase change material suspension will be used as the heat transfer fluid. Unlike conventional phase c ...
