Improvements in Scintillation Technology for Detection of Nuclear Radiation
SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC. Topic: DTRA07004High-resolution scintillation crystals and crystal arrays are important components of current and future handheld and arrayed detectors (used for DOD/DTRA applications), and scintillation spectrometers (routinely used in high energy physics research, medical imaging, diffraction, homeland security, nuclear waste clean-up, nuclear treaty verification and safeguards, and geological exploration). Un ...

Advanced nanocomposite scintillator for gamma radiation detection
SBC: AGILTRON, INC. Topic: DTRA08005Until now gamma radiation detection has required large single crystals of sensitive materials that are difficult to produce consistently on an industrial scale. In collaboration with a research group at the University of Texas at Arlington, Agiltron proposes to develop a new class of nanocomposite scintillator materials. The radiation detection characteristics of the synthetic nanoparticles in the ...

Wireless Brake Shoe Force Measurement System
SBC: Mide Technology Corporation Topic: 04FR1Railroad freight car safety and maintenance cost is directly related to knowledge of the actual braking force provided by a brake shoe. If the brake force is too low, safety is at risk. If the brake shoe is replaced before the end of it's lifetime to ensure safety, maintenance and thus operating costs are increased. Currently there is no system in place to monitor brake shoe force during train ...

High Speed Photolytic Cleaning of Third Rail Insulator Cleaning
SBC: Phoenix Science & Technology Topic: 07FT4This project addresses the specific need for an improved method for cleaning insulators that electrically isolate the third rail. Current methods are labor intensive and expensive, but the insulators should be cleaned regularly to avoid even greater expense. This project is to adapt an innovative photolytic paint stripper to cleaning insulators for the third rail. The overall objective is to de ...

Quick-release Emergency Egress Panel on Cab Car End Doors
SBC: TIAX LLC Topic: 07FR2The FRA has identified cab car end door kick panels as possible emergency egress panels. They could be used in circumstances where the convential emergency exits are unusable. The industry has operational and maintenance concerns. The objectives of this SBIR are to define the requirements for end door emergency egress panels and identify alternative design approaches and assess their effectiven ...

Multi-Point Optical Sensor-Based Roof Measurement System for Use in Dynamic Rollover Testing
SBC: Boxboro Systems LLC Topic: 07NH2An optical, non-contact roof deformation monitoring system will be designed based on an existing multi-point, non-contact, multi-axis optical sensor-based measurement system that is currently used to measure chest deflection in crash-test dummies. The research involves determining suitable components to be used in the optical path, from high-power LED arrays through lenses and optical sensors. T ...

ICING PREVENTION BY NUCLEATION OF ICE PARTICLES IN FRONT OF SUBSONIC AIRCRAFT
SBC: AERODYNE RESEARCH INC Topic: N/AWE PROPOSE THE INVESTIGATION OF NUCLEATION PROCESSES CAPABLEOF CAUSING THE FREEZING OF SUPERCOOLED WATER DROPLETS IN FRONT OF A MOVING SUBSONIC AIRCRAFT. THE GOAL IS TO DEVELOPA NUCLEATION MECHANISM CAPABLE OF FREEZING THE WATER DROPLETS FAR ENOUGH IN FRONT OF THE MOVING PLANE SO THAT BY THE TIME THE PLANE REACHES THE DROPLETS THEY ARE FROZEN AND BOUNCE FROM THE LEADING EDGES AND THE IMPENAGE, WIT ...

Batteryless Sensors for Intrusion Detection and Assessment of Threats
SBC: Anro Engineering, Inc. Topic: N/AA batteryless and wireless sensor for intrusion detection and assessment of threats which requires no battery, external power or wiring is proposed. These types of sensors derive energy from passing vehicles or persons, and indicate their presence, location, speed, etc., via a self-generated short-range radio signal. These sensors require no maintenance, and can be inconspicuously placed in window ...
