Through the Phase I SBIR process, Rini Technologies Inc. has demonstrated the feasibility of using evaporative spray cooling to reduce the temperature of high power laser diode stacks below the temperature at which they currently operate. This reductionin temperature, while operating at high power, results in increased laser efficiency, extended lifetime and reliability, as well as the ability to ...

The rapidly changing military signal environment has reduced the probability of detecting and correctly identifying signal emitters with conventional signal analysis techniques. Increasingly complex waveforms covering large spectral band-widths are now being used. In addition, the number of active emitters has increased dramatically. Coupled with this rapidly rising processing load is the use of t ...

In this SBIR, AcuSoft will research and develop advanced, real-time PC Image Generation technology, as well as develop tools and integrate the required capabilities using PC image generators. The resultant products will provide to the DOD M&S communitythe advanced real-time image generation technology that will enable the use of lower-cost PC graphics in military virtual simulation. In our PHASE ...

The objective of this Phase II research is to perform advanced testing of second-generation solvent replacements used for cleaning hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon residues from oxygen systems. The advanced testing includes determining flammability,autogenous ignition temperature in oxygen, atmospheric impact, toxicity, and characterization of the thermophysical properties of the candidate solvents. ...

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 ...

The goal of the Phase II effort is to optimize the desing of and demonstrate a low-lift heat pump thermal control system for spacecraft heat refection. This low-lift heat pump thermal control system will use an innovative magnetic-bearing centrifugalcompressor. The Phase II effort will result in optimization of the centrifugal compressor impeller, diffuser, and shroud designs through extensive exp ...

A key requirement of any future head support device is to develop concepts as integrated system. Such programs must consider not only safety, but also helmet-mounted sights/displays and other systems for mission enhancement. The design process must also be developed in concurrence with aviators' needs, desires, and requirements. This program employs a system approach to define and design a prelimi ...

The Athena Group will develop an innovative, low-power, fast Fourier transform (FFT) processor for use in mitigating both intentional and unintentional narrowband jamming and interference in handheld global positioning system (GPS) receivers. Athena'sadvanced digital signal processing (DSP) technology is capable of performance levels well beyond those of conventional DSP technologies. Athena will ...
