Combining AED Corp. and its multi-disciplinary team’s extensive and unique heavy fuel engine (HFE) hardware development experience with commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) diesel engine components, a concept diesel engine demonstrator (CDED) was designed during Phase I. Configured to facilitate dyno test exploration of power density, heat rejection, and fuel efficiency, the lubrication, cooling, and ...

AED Corp., Digital-Engines, and C-K Engineering will structure and focus their collective expertise to design, optimize technologies, build, test, and develop a 650-hp advanced diesel technologies demonstrator. The work will be supported by AED’s Phase II Advanced Military Diesel Engine (AMDE) program. During Phase I this team of experts will incorporate AMDE design features, specifications, ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will develop technology to automate the creation of survey instrument documentation, to analyze the complexity of survey instruments, and to automate the testing of survey instruments. Software that enables researchers to better visualize, analyze, and test survey instruments will result in higher quality survey data and increased producti ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The ongoing war on terror has created the necessity of a whole new spectrum of systems that are able to detect and inactivate biothreat agents, systems that are inexpensive to produce, robust and stable to allow their use on a massive scale by first responders or even the general population. However, properties of antibodies that are currently used as main comp ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Microarray technology offers an opportunity for simultaneous monitoring of the behavior of multiple markers within a mammalian cell and ultimately could be used for detection and elucidation of mechanisms of action of different biologically active agents, including those that are considered a threat in the biodefense area. The "predictive power" of probes used ...

The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), U.S. Air Force and agencies like the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have a current and future need for advanced commercially available inherently rad-hard primitive cell libraries to support new designs for satellites and other spacecraft. American Semiconductor Inc. proposes a new core cell library that can meet next generation high ...

The current generation of hybrid particle detectors at the International Linear Collider (ILC) falls well short of meeting the mass and resolution requirements: mass less than 0.1 radiation length/layer, resolution speed in the range of

The many different generations of integrated circuit (IC) technologies required for new space exploration systems demand designs operate at multiple and often incompatible voltages. Extended utilization of current and development of new space exploration systems require multiple voltage levels be successfully integrated to interface technologies. NASA's micro-satellites and space exploration mis ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Principal Investigator/Program Director (Last, First, Middle): Webster, John G. 6. Project Summary/Abstract.The major symptoms associated with the menopause transition are hot flashes, trouble sleeping and vaginal dryness or irritation {Nelson, 2005}. Measurement of the frequency and severity of these symptoms has typically relied on self-report by recall over ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There are over 500 protein kinases in the human genome and several hundred other enzymes that utilize ATP as a phosphate donor or energy source. Protein kinases are the second most intensively screened target class, with links to all of the major therapeutic areas, most notably cancer. Important disease links for cancer and anti-infectives also are emerging for ...
