"Our Phase I SBIR project performed innovative research to addressthis problem. This research investigated the feasibility ofdeveloping a multi-purpose, crash survivable, universal flightinformation system and data recorder (UFDR). The UFDR willdigitally process and record structural, engine/propulsion,electrical/avionics, environmental, exceedance, and event data tocrash survivable memory with c ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this Phase II program is to complete the development of a commercializable solid state nanopore device for the accurate high speed sequencing of DNA. To achieve this goal a manufacturable device must be designed and fabrication processes established that result in a unit with extremely small, well controlled diameter orifices of approximately 2 ...

Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MRAM) is a candidate for nonvolatile memory applications in DoD military, space systems, MILSATCOM, and commercial space systems. 2D memory organizations used to date have placed stringent requirements on uniformityand "disturb" sensitivity of the cells resulting in poor manufacturing yields. Several innovations in memory architecture and cell structure in ...

We propose to continue our extensive research and development effort regarding the demonstration of a high performance GaAs MOSFETs for very high speed low power VLSI applications. We intend to achieve this goal through a program that integrates advancesin MBE materials growth and MOS Device Technology for Compound Semiconductors. Through the course of this work, we expect to change the face of ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant)Advances in large-scale production of mammalian cells or their secreted proteins have led to the licensure of many therapeutic and diagnostic products. Culture devices, such as stirred-tank and hollow fiber bioreactors, have utility in large-scale production, but are impractical and cost prohibitive at the research scale. Traditional roller bottles have been used ...

65445 Consumption of diesel fuel and gasoline have led to significant dependence on foreign fuel as well as increased carbon dioxide emissions with the associated concern for global warming. Diesel engines are much more fuel efficient than spark/gasoline engines, but unfortunately diesel engines produce high NOx emissions. This has been addressed by a process known as exhaust gas recycle (EG ...
