Apptronik Systems Inc., in cooperation with the University of Texas Human Centered Robotics Lab (HCRL) and Huston-Tillotson University Robotics Lab (a historically black college and university HBCU), endeavor to advance the movement capabilities and modularity of the exoskeleton being developed under contract #H92222-17-C-0050. The primary goal of this program is to optimize the range of movement ...

The S-351 mini-sub is a prototype of the Dry Combat Submersible (DCS). This prototype was established as a means of risk reduction prior to a full commitment to the DCS program. Both of these platforms have an operational need to transit with minimum operator fatigue safely to a pre-defined point and covertly deploy and retrieve SEALS. To meet these operational needs, these platforms require upgra ...

Corvid Technologies is pleased to offer this Small Business Tecnology Transfer Phase II proposal in collaboration with The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), Spectral Sciences Inc. (SSI) and Torch Technologies. Capabilities from each collaborator are being combined toward the ability to perform accurate, fast-running electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) signature predictions of missile i ...

The proposed work will incorporate the newly released software into the signature analysis workflow. Extensions of the US3D flow solver will include improvements to the decoupled implicit solver to robustly and efficiently handle reacting flow. Trajectory specification, conjugate vehicle heating, and ablation with surface recession will be enabled through use of a Trajectory Ablation & Shape Chang ...

In this research effort, the GTD team will design tools for efficiently specifying, representing, and analyzing the interactions between control systems in System of Systems (SoS). Three approaches will be considered and integrated. The first two are based in the rigorous application of H_8 control theory to the SoS design problem. The third will use complexity measures to generate a metric that c ...

Apptronik Systems in cooperation with the University of Texass Human Centered Robotics Lab (HCRL), Carnegie Mellon Universitys Robotics Institute and Italys National Research Institute (CNR), will collaborate to develop a new type of exoskeleton that is founded upon Apptroniks Visco-Elastic Liquid Cooled Actuator (VLCA). The fundamental goal of this program is the development of a powered exoskel ...

This is an Addendum to previously submitted proposal that includes the addition of a powered upper body portion of an exoskeleton. In this addendum we propose the additional requirements of researching, fabricating and integrating a powered upper body to the previously outlined lower body. These two systems together will comprise the entire exoskeleton proposed by the contractor. Through this ...

Fine powder thermal battery cathode materials can exhibit challenging flow properties which makes processing with automated presses difficult.Granulating these powders substantially improves flow properties and reduces the tendency for powder segregation during handling and pressing operations.The properties of Magnesium Oxide (MgO) that lead to good performance in thermal battery separators are n ...

The premise of this work is that the main barrier to optimizing battery performance lies in understanding the relationship between bulk solids and particle flow properties and the flow into the die.Our hypothesis: an increase in quality battery production can be achieved if product preparation can be optimized and/or the die filling process controlled.Since die compression is mainly one-dimensiona ...

Supply chain risk management relies on expensive manual processes that are performed infrequently and with a limited set of data. Supply chain managers often operate in a reactive mode, scrambling for solutions to issues that could have been anticipated if more data and continuous monitoring of the supply chain were practical. The supply chain analysis problem is one where the quantity of data dri ...
