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 ...

As USSOCOM continues to assess the future operating environment, implementing innovative solutions that promote situational awareness (SA) is of increasing importance. While situational awareness can be tied to a variety of data-types impacting a mission, for the purposes of this effort, situational awareness tied to geospatial intelligence will be the focus. When a warfighter enters an operating ...

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 ...

In this proposal, CompRex, LLC (“CompRex”) seeks to realize a transformational and disruptive advancement in heat exchange technology for high temperature and high pressure applications through 1) the use of advanced metal and ceramic composite material, 2) development of a new simplified manufacturing approach, and 3) optimization of heat exchanger design to maximize the performance benefits ...

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 ...

"Li-ion batteries have a major downside which is their potential to initiate fires, escalate to thermal runaway increasing the violence, and to possibly explode.Traditional fire extinguishing agents either perform poorly or are impractical on these high-energy fires.Two innovations, in combination, are proposed for research and development.Pyrotechnic aerosol extinguishing agents will be proven hi ...

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 ...

Wrong-way crashes are considered among the most lethal types of traffic incidents because of their head on characteristics and because they usually involve high rates of speed. To reduce the frequency of high-speed incidents, it is necessary to stop a wrong-way driver as soon as possible. The sooner a wrong-way driver is stopped, the less likely they are to cause a high-speed event. TAPCO believes ...
