At the end of Phase I, ABI will deliver a working "subscale" power module which runs on diesel fuel and has an output of approximately 25 horsepower at 3600 RPM. The overall size, exclusive of fuel pump, cooling, and 011 tank, will be approximately the size and shape of a roll of kitchen paper towels, about 15 cm diameter and less than 40 cm long, and less that 20 lbs. weight. Phase II will develo ...

1The Navy desires to demonstrate an optical processing system capable of target aim point selection in an infrared image, in real time. Advanced Optical Systems, Inc. (AOS) has demonstrated with optical processing: aim point selection in visible imagery, in clutter; target recognition in infrared imagery; and small feature recognition internal to a target, in simulated IR imagery. We propose to co ...

W ENFORCEMENT CRIMINAL TRACKING, AND DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE ANALYSIS.

THE EXISTING METHODOLOGY OF DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT IS AN EXPENSIVE AND TIME CONSUMING PROCESS. TO KEEP PACE WITH THE RAPIDLY ADVANCING SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY, IT IS NECESSARY TO DEVELOP A COMPUTER BASED ENVIRONMENT TO QUICKLY SIMULATE THE FEATURES OF THE MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT BEFORE IT IS TURNED INTO A PHYSICAL PROTOTYPE. APART FROM ACHIEVING CONSIDERABLE ...

This proposal is in response to the topic objective to apply and control the application of multilayer seal coatings on all surfaces of integral fuel tanks. An alternate polymer deposition method is proposed to meet the objective without the need for expensive, complex sensors and controls. A polymer coating, composed of Teflon and a second resin, is to be deposited electrochemically from aqueous ...

PRESENT TURBOJET ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEMS, WHICH ARE COMPRISED OF: CONTROLLER, FUEL METERING DEVICE, SENSORS, CONNECTORS, AND HARNESSES ARE THE SINGLE MOST EXPENSIVE SUBSYSTEM ON EXPENDABLE TURBOJET ENGINES. THE SIZE AND COST OF EXPENDABLE TURBOJET ENGINES HAS STEADILY DECREASED. HOWEVER, THE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM COST HAS RE MAINED RELATIVELY CONSTANT. ELECTRONIC CONCEPTS PROPOSES TO DEMONSTRATE TH ...

A SIX-MONTH, PHASE I, SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PROGRAM IS PROPOSED TO ESTABLISH THE FEASIBILITY OF SUBSTITUTING A NOVEL, PATENTED PROCESS AND COMBINATION OF MATERIALS FOR THE FREON (CFC 113) MATERIALS NOW USED IN HIGH SHEAR CONDITIONS TO CLEAN PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS AND OTHER MECHANICAL AND ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS OF INTEREST TO THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, THROUGH DARPA. THE TECHNOLO ...

A 6-month, Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program is proposed to conduct proof-of-principle work on a novel process which uses momentum transfer mechanisms and liquid carbon dioxide for all-dry wafer cleaning. Under an earlier, Phase I project, the basic principle of momentum transfer has been demonstrated as effective, using high purity liquid carbon dioxide sprays accelerated ...

TO DATE, MOST SAFETY-CRITICAL APPLICATIONS OF SPECIAL PURPOSE PROBLEM-ORIENTED MULTIPROCESSOR CONFIGURATIONS HAVE RELIED ON WELLKNOWN, SIMPLISTIC STRATEGIES FOR ENSURING SATISFIABILITY OF CONSTRAINTS SUCH AS FREEDOM FROM DEADLOCK AND LIVELOCK, FAIRNESS AND REAL-TIME RESPONSIVENESS; HOWEVER SUCH STRATEGIES ARE OFTEN INEFFICIENT IN IMPLEMENTATION. WE WILL DEMONSTRATE THAT MATHEMATICAL THEORIES OF CO ...
