The U.S. Navy has significantly improved its operational capabilities in littoral and near-shore seawater which has resulted in the need to achieve much better pre-treatment of the seawater withdrawn from the often turbid and debris-filled shallow waters for cooling and onboard desalination systems. Low-maintenance microfiltration is now used for pre-treatment, and it relies upon periodic electrol ...

The Navy seeks an in-situ powder coating material and application method for spot repair. Resodyn Corporation proposes a unique restoration and repair polymer thermal spray coating (R & RPTS) system that provides the ease of repair, safety in handling, and effective coating protection to fulfill the Navy needs. The proposed system will be a zero VOC, non-toxic, non-chromated material with the pote ...

The US Navy has an immediate and compelling need for a handheld, battery powered, fiber optic power meter with a remote optical detector. Existing handheld meters have the optical detector mounted on the main unit. Such meters often do not fit in the tight spaces found in ships, planes, and other vehicles. A novel fiber optic power meter design with a remote optical detector probe is proposed for ...

This project develops a nutrition program, MenuChoice©, for community-based group homes for persons with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD). Adults with IDD experience poorer nutritional health and more nutrition-related secondary conditions than adults without disabilities. These conditions are preventable and modifiable through a safe, healthful diet, but multiple challenges precl ...

Real-time meteorological data is becoming ever more critical to military operations. Such data should be available from as many locations around a theater of operation as possible. To that end, there is a need for compact weather sensors that can be quickly deployed by a wide variety of methods, ranging from high-performance aircraft to infantry soldiers. The resulting local weather data will b ...
