The proposed Phase II program will optimize the design and manufacturing process of a compliant brush shroud casing. Recent tests at Wright Laboratories with staged brush seals have demonstrated significantly increased blade to shroud rub tolerance of acompliant casing. Phase I of the program is expected to demonstrate the feasibility of two innovative brush shroud designs with lower cost and we ...

There is a major need for unmanned vehicles that act autonomously from humans,thereby reducing both the amount of supervision necessary and the cost associatedwith their operation. In order to accomplish this task, autonomous vehicles musthave the ability to make decisions, assess their health and environment, dynamicallyre-plan, and control their movements in a dynamic and unpredictable environm ...

As a recognized leader in computer-aided synthesis and simulation of microwave andRF electronics, Eagleware Corporation is interested in further developing andexpanding its present offering of RF/microwave software tools. At present, RF tools are limited primarily to linear circuits. Also, available software is essentiallylimited to

This research project investigates natural and non-natural energy sources available in the environment that can be scavenged to provide electrical power. The sources considered are: thermal, barometric pressure, acoustic, humidity, water, wind, solar andelectromotive (low frequency and radio frequency waves). Most existing techniques for scavenging power are built around ideal environments. For e ...
