The Air Force has demonstrated that a water is capable of extinguishing comparable H2O2 oxidizer fires with 23 pounds of water vs 67 pounds of halon. Recent advances in sensor technology make it possible to detect an H2O2 leak prior to ignition, or to rapidly detect ignition in order to initiate fire protection system water flow. Recent findings by Streamline Automation also indicate that fire e ...

Our Phase II goal is to develop (model, design, fabricate and test) a miniaturized biofuel cell capable of generating energy from biomass to power the OFW sensor suite. Phase I goals were successfully met by demonstrating a prototype using glucose as fuel. In contrast to conventional technologies, this biobattery promises to be compact/lightweight, require little/no logistical support (re-supply ...

This proposal is for the design and development of a challenging, adaptable, and extendible AI system for use in state-of-the-art computer-based wargames. The development will result in a 3rd generation computer wargame based on modern air power conflict and the ability to apply the technology developed for this project in other wargames ranging from tactical ground-based warfare to naval conflic ...

An SBIR Phase I program is proposed to research, design, and develop a MEMS-based rotational energy scavenging system. MORGAN is proposing the development of a flexible mechanical-to-electrical energy conversion structure that can be used to extract energy from a nmber of sources available in a rotating system. Cornell University will be partnered with MORGAN to provide specific expertise in mini ...

The goal of the proposed research is to develop a cell culture model for elk chronic wasting disease (CWD) prion propagation that can be used as a bioassay for detecting CWD. Our goal will be accomplished by bioengineering a bovine B-lymphocyte cell (B-cell) line to surface express elk PrPc fused to yellow fluorescent protein (YFP). Interaction of these B-cells with infectious, mis-folded, proteas ...

SiC power switch devices such as Vertical Junction Field Effect Transistors (VJFETs) and Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) are being developed for power conditioning applications in a variety of rugged environments. While the SiC devices have been well characterized for high-temperature behavior, much less data is available for radiation effects, including gamma and pro ...

SiC Integrated Circuits (IC''s) offer the potential for operation over a wide temperature range (77 K to 800 K), and high-radiation environments. In this proposal, we outline a program to transfer and mature patented SiC epitaxy and device technology for use in SiC JFET IC''s from Mississippi State University to SemiSouth Laboratories. The result will be precise controlled epitaxy layers (doping ...

A specialty coating, adaptable to existing and future modular MDA target systems and survivable in exo-atmospheric environments, may be achieved by combining contemporary indium tin oxide (ITO) appliqués onto a surface capable of achieving luminescence and hue levels found in adjacent backgrounds. This active coating will exploit known vulnerabilities found in interceptor infrared and visual scan ...
