Chemical manufacturers require high accuracy/high sensitivity pressure sensors to efficiently monitor the various manufacturing systems and processes in the chemical plant, to ensure any changes proceed in a safe and reliable manner, adhering to expected standards and practices. NIST also has a need for highly accurate pressure measurements, especially determining the thermo-physical properties of ...

NIST's seeks a high resolution DIC technology for qualification of complex AM parts. To meet this critical need, X-wave Innovations Inc. proposes to develop a 3-Dimentional Digital Image Correlation (3-D DIC) based NDT system. The proposed effort builds upon the success of XII in developing a variety of NDT technologies (including DIC system) for advanced materials evaluation. The success of the p ...

The Hybrid Quadrotor concept, developed by Latitude Engineering, combines the high power density of electric motors and propellers with the high energy density of a piston engine and liquid fuel. Together, each technology enables maximum performance in HQ's two regimes of flight: the electric system is responsible for lift while hovering (high power, short endurance), and the gas engine gives long ...

The current state-of-the-art in machine data aggregation and processing is designed around centralized architecture, but this approach has failed to provide adequate scaling capabilities to operate efficiently in a large enterprise network. Enterprise computer networks, including the SOCOMs, need dramatic improvements in network monitoring and threat detection. ATC-NY will design and develop Scala ...

The military transports hundreds of millions of rounds of small-caliber ammunition domestically for training and internationally for wartime activities each year. Aside from the logistics cost of moving the rounds, the cost to produce rounds with brass cartridge cases is tied to the escalating price of copper. Additionally, soldiers in small units (squads/fire teams/crews) are physically overburde ...

This effort will develop the techniques and system design to display information about a wall structure. The goal is to design a system that will create a map that shows the location of material and/or voids within the walls along with the thickness and density of material. Performance trade-offs such as Size, Weight, And Power (SWAP), ease of use, image time, probability of detection and false al ...

Paragon and SunDanzer are teaming to develop and mature a multi-drawer freezer and cold storage system for environments having unreliable power availability that a) harnesses passive, unpowered thermal control technologies derived from Paragons aerospace experience and b) active thermal control with a refrigeration loop design developed by Sundanzer for solar powered operation. The passive/active ...

The DoD trend towards enterprise hosted cloud infrastructures for data storage, processing, and analysis coupled with the reduction of forward-deployed assets generates the need to maximize efficient communication of critical intelligence between our forward-deployed units that operate in austere environments and reach-back, enterprise systems. A solution must overcome the bi-directional dataflow ...

Special purpose proxy software on each end of a disconnected, intermittent, limited communications link maximizes the effective data rate of the link. The technology is bidirectional.

Chesapeake Technology Internationals (CTIs) proposed solution for the Cloud Data Synchronization with Limited Bandwidth Communications small business innovative research (SBIR) program is a technology framework that allows for flexible presentation of data to consumers (applications and analytic environments); resilience to intermittent and low bandwidth communications; automated, distributed sync ...
