Rocky Research proposes the development of an advanced high efficient, lightweight, multi-power, modular, and rugged refrigerator for the US Army. Rocky Research will use innovative technologies such as improved vapor-compression cycle with addition of Phase-Change Material, ejectors, and variable speed technology for energy efficiency; Electronics for multi-power capability; Carbon fiber structur ...

A hybrid lithium ion battery / super capacitor energy storage device is developed that uses the high power capability of the super capacitor to satisfy pulsed power load requirements such that stress on the lithium ion batteries is reduced. This results in extended discharge time and higher efficiency utilization of the battery stack.

Successful brake system performance during long mountain descents is critical. Prior test events can fail to successfully replicate the severity of the extended down grade conditions, leading to recognition that definition of successful operational tests is required. Therefore the development of an updated test procedure and development of a Brake Fade Warning System, both of which rely on a numbe ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant This project will lead to the development of an optimized X ray tube with focal spots that can be placed immediately below and around the multi leaf collimator MLC of a radiotherapy system By steering a focused electron beam e beam on a series of cooled tungsten targets in sequence this system will provide a set of projection images that can be reco ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Wound healing is an intricately regulated process broadly characterized by phases of inflammation proliferation and remodeling Imbalances in any one of these phases can result in inadequate healing scar formation or in the development of chronic wounds such as diabetic ulcers Diabetic ulcers are responsible for the majority of lower extremity amputations ...
