"Adaptive Materials Inc. will explore the feasibility of small scale power generation using microtubule solid oxide fuel cells as outlined in Topic Area 3; Materials and Processes for Electrochemical Energy Conversion. We believe microtubule solid oxidefuel cells are the key to a soldier portable, rapid starting, field-rugged, compact, and light weight power source. Individual cells demonstrating ...

"The goal of the proposed Phase I effort is a feasibility study on the design and development of an innovative, fail-safe, controllable magneto-rheological fluid (MRF) smart pad for shock and vibration mitigation of Trident submarine based vertical launchweapon systems. The objective of this project is to explore the design feasibility of the proposed MRF shock absorber system which consists of a ...

"Significant obstacles to the widespread adoption of integrated micro-fluidic devices include their relatively low fluidic circuit density and high cost. To obviate these limitations, Advanced Sensor Technologies, Inc. (AST) proposes to develop thetechnologies to allow fabrication of three-dimensional micro-fluidic devices with integrated active components that are an order of magnitude less cost ...

"The US Joint Services, Federal Agencies, and state and local First Responders have expressed dissatisfaction with currently employed organophosphate (OP) sensors. They have identified the need for a new generation of sensors that is small, light-weight,and easy to use while being capable of extended operations in rugged environments. Advanced Sensor Technologies proposes to address these issues w ...

DESCRIPTION (Applicant's abstract): Toward the goal of developing an automated, miniaturized device to detect the body's reaction to exposure to environmental toxins, Advanced Sensor Technologies, Inc. proposes to develop a miniature device capable of providing differential blood cholinesterase analysis. The device will provide analysis of cholinesterase levels (acety ...

"AST proposes to develop a non-invasive methodology able to continuously monitor blood glucose concentration. As opposed to employing near infrared spectroscopy, which suffers from the limitations of sensitivity, stability, and repeatability, AST intendsto employ direct measurement of glucose, via amperometric sensors coated with glucose oxidase membranes, from minute amounts of interstitial flui ...

"Amain proposes to develop a large staring array monolithic visible light camera with extremely low power analog to digital conversion, A/D, at each pixel. The approach is based on oversample A/D techniques developed for audio applications, generally knownin the industry as delta sigma A/D. Each pixel of the focal plane array will contain a patented converter named MOSAD, Multiplexed OverSample A/ ...

This proposal will research the technological streamlining and coordination of tools that counselors utilize to communicate and counsel with students and their parents. Career Pathway/Cluster standards, instructional instruments and standards based curriculm form the corner stones for systemic education reform. Career guidance counseling proveds the blueprint to guide teachers and students in the ...
