50069-98-I Development of a 1W, 10 K Reverse Brayton Cycle Crycooler--Doty Scientific, Inc., 700 Clemson Road, Columbia, SC 29229-4339; (803) 788-6497 Dr. F. David Doty, Principal Investigator Mr. George Entzminger, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG02-98ER82565 Amount: $75,000 High sensitivity detectors (of infrared and x-ray radiation and magnetic fields) require miniature, fieldable cry ...

Amorphous hydrous ruthenium oxide(Ru02.xH20A) has a specific capacitance at least two times larger than any other known capacitor materials. An object of this proposal is to demostrate the feasibility of producing shock-hardened RuO2. H2O based electrochemical capacitors suitable for use in power sources for advanced weapon system applications. A 25 V, 150 mF shock-hardened electrochemical capa ...

Chemical/Biological (CB) protective ensembles impose a thermal burden on aircrew, which not only limits mission time but poses a physiological danger to aircrew in even moderate operating environments. The thermal loads placed on these personnel may be reduced through the use of microclimate cooling systems. Unfortunately, to provide effective cooling, such systems must usually make compromises ...

The United State Department of Agricultural (USDA) and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services (APHIS) in conjunction with other Federal and State Organizations, have conducted a number of integrated pest management programs to eradicate various types of household pest including Red Imported Fire Ants (RIFA). Recent programs have involved application of products such as Malathion to effect ...

The end product of this proposal is an improved monopropellant which is safe, non toxic, water soluble, very low cost, energetic, environmentally benign and wakeless. Calculations show that a stoichiometric blend of the water soluble constituents produce a monopropellant having an energy density of 1100 Btu/# (British thermal units per pound) and an adiabatic flame temperature of 2300 F (Fahrenhe ...

KVH Industries proposes to determine the feasibility of integrating its commercially (COTS) available, low cost, marine mobile, rate stabilized on-the-move antenna system with new `smart antenna' electronic array technology to produce a solid state, highly ruggedized, flat panel land mobile antenna system capable of multi-band satellite cornmunications. Recent developments in adaptive antenna tec ...

KVH Industries proposes to prototype and deliver a unique space-based asset tracking and inventory system. The proposed system will integrate off-the-shelf communications GPS and a KVH designed digital compass navigation system, TACNAV. The KVH design will be capable of providing instantaneous position updates using the now fully operational Generation III Inmarst D/D+ technology. The integrate ...

KVH Industries proposes to deliver a high precision GPfog azimuth and attitude sensing system based on fusing three low cost sensor technologies: ultra short baseline carrier phase measurement GPS utilizing low cost GPS chip technology; uniquely affordable three-axis KVH E-Core Fiber Optic Gyros (FOGs); and a micro-machined commercially available accelerometer sensor package. The fiber optic rate ...
