DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Primary Prevention of Sexual Violence among College Students This Fast Track SBIR proposal is designed to address the urgent need for an effective primary prevention approach to the problem of sexual violence among college students It is estimated that in every college women has been sexually assaulted while in college There is a dearth of primary preven ...

The current state of the art thermal battery technologies will not be able to meet future requirements that call for higher power and capacity with a smaller footprint. The principal avenue for increasing the capacity of thermal battery is to identify and develop new electrode materials that provide higher specific capacity and power performance. The overall objective of the proposed effort is to ...

HYPRES, in collaboration with University of California, Berkeley, proposes to transition superconducting parametric amplifier technology into a robust line of products. In Phase I, we designed a compact package for lumped-element Josephson parametric amplifiers (LJPA) fabricated by our collaborators at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. We have also established the feasibility of digitization of the amplifie ...

This SBIR consists of the development of a dual-frequency-band imaging radar operating at Ka-band and L-band with ground moving target indicator (GMTI) and Video-SAR capabilities for use on small manned and unmanned aircraft. Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions will benefit from the flexible multi-band SAR that will handle several missions with significantly reduced size, ...

ABSTRACT: In Phase I, CFDRC in partnership with ESI, have developed and validated a physics-based CFD tool to quantify fuel spurt caused by impact and penetration of fuel tanks. CFD tool development, qualification and validation study showed good correlations with experiments in terms of fundamental physics including: a) droplet formation, breakup, size, timing and distribution; b) cavitation zone ...
