This Phase 1 proposal seeks to evaluate the feasibility of a low cost infrared viewer for fire fighters. There are four distinct components that comprise the novel infrared viewer. The first is a Nipkow disc, which allows a two dimensional scene to be scanned by a single element detector. The second is a four state thermoelectrically cooled lead selenide detector that is sensitive in the m ...

The presence of moisture in inaccessible building regions can lead to paint failure and rotting that reduces property values and creates dangerous habitat environments. Secondarily, the presence of moisture can lead to mold growth with allergenic and toxic properties that present a significant health risk. Diagnosis may include measurement of the moisture content of building materials, as w ...

A wavelength dispersive x-ray fluorescence detector working in soft x-ray region has been proposed based on the diffraction principles. The detector uses graded multilayers as analyzers and large area detectors for data collection to achieve good energy resolution and to avoid count rate problems encountered by solid state detectors. Furthermore, the detector will be tunable in a wide energy regio ...

In most critical software systems, a state that is partially visible through values passed across interfaces contains information that could determine the health of the software system, and whether a failure is likely in the future. Some of this information behaves in a continuous fashion, e.g., the available memory or disk space is easily interpreted to monitor system health. Other values are nom ...

PCCI, Inc. has partnered with SOS Hyperlite, Ltd.; the original developer and sole manufacturer of the Hyperlite Emergency Evacuation Hyperbaric Stretcher (EEHS), the only non-metallic hyperbaric chamber currently constructed in accordance with ASME PVHO-1 for Human Occupancy and meeting U.S. Navy Diving and Hyperbaric Systems Safety Certification. This partnership was originally formed in 2002 t ...

The research involves implementation of a comparison algorithm for firearm forensics. The Congruent Matching Cells (CMC) algorithm and its associated CMF, CMPS, and CMX methods have been developed by NIST yet do not appear in any commercially available software. As requested in the call for proposals, we will implement the algorithms in the C++ programming language, we will validate their performa ...
