1We are proposing a computerized tomographic (CT) dimensional measurement system that will remedy two of the major problems experienced by current methods: the distortions caused by CT artifacts, and the blurring caused by the system point - spread function (PSF). The distortions resulting from data nonlinearity will be corrected by a calibration process acting upon the x-ray data. The blurring er ...

An improved silver/zinc battery is a leading candidate for many applications requiring both high specific power and high specific energy. The silver and zinc electrodes offer important advantages over alternate electrode materials, such as equivalent weight and favorable kinetics. Silver/zinc batteries have seen application in systems such as torpedoes,satellites, underwater vehicles, aircraft,and ...

The purpose of the Phase I work is to identify the best packaging concept for the Hall Effect device and to deterinine the feasibility of building it. KVH proposes to test and characterize the NWC Hall Effect Breadboard and to generate a packaging feasibility study. KVH will use unique, proprietary capabilities, including a free standing Triaxial Helmholtz Cage to evaluate the NWC concept. KVH wil ...

KVH Industries proposes to develop a proof-of-principle Universal Driver's Display (UDD) for the Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAV7A1). The UDD will comprise a flat-faced, color-capable screen with co-located electronics and integrated with engine sensors and the magnetic compass. We will use our commercial Quadro "PowerWatch"TM digital instrument system hardware for the proof-of-principle system. T ...

SYSTEMS & ELECTRONICS, INC. (SEI) IS PROPOSING A PROGRAM OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TO MANUFACTURE, TEST, INSTALL AND EXPERIMENT WITH AN EFFICIENT, LIGHTWEIGHT, LOW-COST, RELIABLE AIRFRAME CUMULATIVE FATIGUE RECORDING DEVICE THAT CAN EFFECTIVELY BE USED IN MEASURING AIRCRAFT USAGE. THE PROPOSED SYSTEM WILL BE USED ALONG WITH ACCELEROMETERS INSTALLED ABOARD THE AIRCRAFT AND WILL RECORD AND SEPARAT ...

High rate-of-fire weapons are subject to significant barrel erosion as projectile velocity and burst lengths are increased. Bore temperatures exceeding the melting point of steel can be easily reached because of the low thermal conductivity of the steel barrel. Barrels comprised of copper/graphite composite materials potentially have an order of magnitude greater thermal conductivity than steel an ...

ALGORITHMS WILL BE EVALUATED BY SYNTHIC AND LABORATORY GENERATED DATA. THESE DATA WILL COME FROM TEST OBJECTS AND AN EXISTING SCANNERS ASSEMBLED FOR THAT PURPOSE.
