DUE TO THE BASIC NATURE OF MILITARY OPERATIONS, IT IS SOMETIMES NECESSARY FOR AIR FORCE PERSONNEL TO BE EXPOSED TO TOXIC CHEMICALS IN THEIR WORK ENVIRONMENT EITHER AS A PROTRACTED LOW-LEVEL EXPOSURE OR AS A HIGH-LEVEL, ACUTE EXPOSURE. THE APPLICATION HEREIN PROPOSES TO USE THE ANTERIOR EYE (CORNEA AND CONJUNCTIVA) AND ITS SENSORY INNERVATION AS AN ASSAY OF TOXIC EFFECTS. THE ANTERIOR EYE HAS UNIQU ...

ACTIVATED STEEL FOIL FABRICATED INTO ELEMENTS TO BE PACKAGED AS EXPENDABLE DECOYS HAS SHOWN GOOD PERFORMANCE IN LOW IR SIGNATURE APPLICATIONS. THE PRESENT BATCH PRODUCTION PROCESS FOR THESE FOILS ENTAILS, IN PART, TWENTY HOURS OF FURNACE TREATMENT. A COMBINATION OF NINE SEPARATE OPERATIONS, LOW PRODUCTION RATES AND HIGH LABOR COSTS YIELDS A UNIT MANUFACTURING COST OF MORE THAN $250.00. WE PROPOSE ...

The USAF is interested in this development for use in a digitally-processed GPS receiver with strong anti-jam performance. The focus of this effort will seek to develop an ADC architecture that can be built in a commercial CMOS foundry and achieve 350 MSPS and 16ENOB with minimal power and cost.

This SBIR Phase I project will design, analyze, and present the feasibility and technical merit for a proposed energy storage system solution that is designed to meet the established requirements and verified through design analysis and modeling. This ene

This small business innovation research (SBIR) proposal addresses the solvent-related safety issue and limited energy and power densities of the current lithium ion battery (LIB) technology. Storagenergy Technologies Inc. proposes to develop advanced electrode manufacturing process for a multi-layer electrode LIB cell having ordered graded pore structure. The proposed process eliminates the use ...

In response to DLA SBIR Topic DLA152-001 for Advanced Manufacturing Technologies, Sentient Corporation (Sentient) proposes to develop a life cycle cost optimization tool based on our commercial DigitalClone modeling technology. This tool will enable users to evaluate the tradeoffs between alternate manufacturing processes, implementation costs, and the performance/durability of the resultant comp ...

The United States Special Operations Command needs the capability to conduct intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance from airborne assets. The Governments objective is to develop an extended range radar prototype system that can track personnel and vehicles in all-weather conditions, during the day and at night, with a Ground Moving Target Indicator and to image personnel or vehicles throu ...

We propose to study how extraction efficiency can be improved by reducing IRLED pixel pitch. Our approach is to scale the size of RIIC pixel and IRLED device from 24-microns down to 12-microns and to lower the IRLED drive voltage from 10 Volts to 5 Volts.

All Solid-State Battery, by replacing liquid electrolyte with solvent-free solid electrolyte (SE) which is anticipated to preclude dendrite formation, has the promise to ultimately resolve the safety issues of lithium ion batteries. Storagenergy Technologies Inc. propose a superior all solid-state battery based on lithium anode, ceramic membranes and advanced composite cathode. If successful, the ...
