Additively Manufactured Metal Foam Rail Tank Car Structures
SBC: INTELLIGENT OPTICAL SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 20PH4Rail tank cars are routinely used to transport hazardous materials. Additionally, their use has increased appeal because pipeline construction increasingly has a political cost. Hazmat transport by rail is insecure, and the materials transported pose serious hazards to populations along railway lines in derailments and/or collisions, including fire and explosion, acute and chronic toxicity to expo ...

Scalable Low-Cost AESA Transmitter with Phase-Only Nulling
SBC: TECHNOVATIVE APPLICATIONS Topic: SCO182002Active electronically scanned antennas (AESA) for radar have the potential to be low-cost provided the array architecture is designed for production using commercially available manufacturing processes. Most modern radar antennas employ some form of nulling to reduce sidelobes in key steering directions. For a transmit AESA the most cost effective implementation is to use phase only to steer the m ...
