Proposal title: Accurate and Rapid Measurement of Adsorption Capacity of Fly Ash in Concrete Mixtures Interference of unburned and activated carbon in fly ash with air-entraining admixtures (AEAs) 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 Phase I, ...

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 ...

The objective of this SBIR effort is to develop and validate the Infantry Situation Awareness Training (ISAT) program. Situation Awareness forms the critical foundation underlying all military decision making and task execution. Success in current andfuture battlefields will depend on warfighters and leaders who are able to rapidly assess key information in a complex and changing environment to cr ...

This Phase 2 SBIR proposal presents an architecture for wireless microsensor networks that provides improved information assurance (IA). It addresses both traditional computer network security threats (e.g., eavesdropping, masquerade and forgery) and alsomicrosensor-centric IA threats such as denial-of-service attacks, battery exhaustion, sensor tampering/spoofing, and adversarial movement of sen ...

We propose to develop a new type of primary lithium battery using an available polymer lithium ion battery technology. We will use manganese dioxide-polymer matrix as the cathode, lithium ion containing polymer as the electrolyte and lithium as the anode.The plastic lithium primary battery will combine the advantages of lithium primary batteries and plastic lithium ion rechargeable batteries. This ...

Not Available ORBITEC proposes the development of a Lunar Ice Simulator (LIS). The objective of the research is to create a system that can simulate the physical structure of the lunar ice/dust mixtures to test and demonstrate mechanisms for the mining and processing o
