Thermal batteries are single-discharge reserve batteries that provide a very long shelf life, minimal self-discharge, wide storage temperature range, fast activation under sudden power demand, and also a wide range of temperature operating conditions. 32Upon activation, thermal batteries are heated with an internal pyrotechnic heat charge above the melting temperature of the molten salt electrolyt ...

Emrgy, Inc., a pioneer in commercializing hydrokinetic power systems, is teaming with Premier Energy Holdings, Stanford University and University of Tennessee, Knoxville to develop a highly innovative solution to low-cost, riverine and tidal-based clean energy power generation. The project will implement “dynamic tuning” of the hydrokinetic turbine system to optimize performance across variabl ...

Underground facilities provide concealment and protection for an array of activities conducted by US adversaries, including production, storage, and deployment of WMDs.  Communications with these subterranean facilities is a challenge at best. The current solution relies on conventional free-space RF radio links. However, RF propagation underground is not well understood and the variable and the ...

Interference of unburned and activated carbon in fly ash with air-entraining admixtures (AEA’s) in fresh concrete mixtures is a major concern in the concrete industry. Therefore, a rapid and accurate measurement of adsorption capacity of fly ash is of great interest to this industry.In this project, a new method is suggested, which can qualitatively and quantitatively measure different surfactan ...

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) desires innovative technology solutions to link radiation detectors of various resolutions to accelerate and improve the efficacy of nuclear search operations. Global Technology Connection, Inc. (GTC), in collaboration with our Research Institute (RI) and industrial partners, proposes to develop a scalable, locally hosted data fusion algorithm to accurat ...

Fundamental limitations to Ku-Band planar phased arrays used for the Starlink LEO constellation limit the portability and power efficiency of a man-portable Starlink user terminal. For example, due to these limitations the power output of the array is increased by 500% over the scan angle range for a nearly 24” diameter phased array, with reports of frequent drop outs of signal. Specifically, St ...

The proposed system will be capable of being weapon mounted on the weapon system, in the Bi-Pod Dovetial mount, for the measuring of the barrel elevation and cant angles in addition to the azimuth pointing reference. The outputs of the device will be transmitted, either wired or wireless (ISW compliant UWB radios) to the Fire Control Unit. The sub-MIL accuracy of the sensors will allow greater res ...

The objectives of this Phase II study are to develop a complete end-to-end capability for the operational hazard assessment modeling within limnological systems for all of CONUS and to develop preliminary techniques to determine limnological water quality parameters of OCONUS systems, allowing for the eventual hazard assessment modeling in denied or restricted regions. Achieving these objectives w ...
