Light Source for Cavity Ring-Down Spectrometer
SBC: Aculight Corporation Topic: N/ACavity Ring-Down (CRD) spectroscopy is developing into a precise tool for measuring gaseous contaminants in ultrahigh vacuum and other environments. Optimum sensitivity is obtained by driving the CRD spectrometer in the mid-IR part of the spectrum with about 100 mWatts of average power at 5 kHz and with pulse lengths of 10-50 nsec. Bandwidths of 100 MHz are required. There are no commercial lasers ...

A Ruggedized System for Measuring Extreme Winds
SBC: Caregiver Technologies, Inc. Topic: N/AWe will develop technology, termed a Ruggedized Wind Measurement System (RWMS), to measure directly extreme winds with high space and time resolution, focusing on the winds that occur beneath hurricanes at land fall. This development effort will include design, fabrication of two prototype RWMS units, and a series of proof-of-concept demonstrations in strong mountain-induced downslope and severe t ...

NO MOVING PARTS RAIN GAUGE
SBC: THE CORE GROUP, INC. Topic: N/ATHE U.S. WEATHER SERVICE PRESENTLY USES A "TIPPING BUCKET" RAIN GAUGE FOR MEASURING RAIN ACCUMULATION. THIS DEVICE IS SENSITIVE TO WIND AND MOTION (AS ON BUOYS), CANNOT MEASURE RAIN RATE, AND REQUIRES FREQUENT MAINTENANCE, BECAUSE OF MOVING PARTS. AN ALTERNATIVE DEVICE IS BEING PROPOSED, WHICH INCORPORATES A RIGID, RESONANT TUBE, CLOSED AT THE TOP BY AN ELECTRO-ACOUSTIC TRANSDUCER, AND AT THE BOTT ...

Development of a 10K TO 77K Magnetic Refrigerator
SBC: CryoFuel Systems, Inc. Topic: N/AThe ability of high speed photography to record useful images of spray plumes generated by metal atomizers, metal spray deposition equipment, and plasma spray coatings depends on a light source capable of providing illumination suitable to record high velocity, specularly reflecting droplets. Due to the reflective nature of the surface of these particles, point sources and collimated light only al ...

Analysis Software for Near-Field Optical Microscopes
SBC: Field Precision Topic: N/AThe near-field scanning optical microscope can supply information on the shape and electrical properties of surfaces with nanometer resolution. The quantitative interpretation of images is difficult because of the difficulty of electromagnetic field solutions in the near-field limit. We propose to supply software to aid in this analysis. The finite-element programs generate two and three-dimension ...

APPLYING FIBER OPTIC SENSORS TO REAL-WORLD INDUSTRIAL PROBLEMS
SBC: Future Focus, Inc. Topic: N/AFIBER OPTIC SENSORS HAVE VERY ATTRACTIVE FEATURES FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS. BECAUSE THEY USE NONCONDUCTING SILICA INSTEAD OF WIRES, THEY CAN OPERATE IN HIGH ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD ENVIRONMENTS AND EXPLOSION HAZARD AREAS. THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE 1980S WERE THAT FIBER OPTIC SENSOR USAGE WOULD BE OVER $100M PER YEAR IN 1993; ACTUAL SALES WERE UNDER $20M. THE ORDER-OF-MAGNITUDE ERROR WAS IN PART DUE ...

New Methods for Evaluating Thermal Performance of Protective Clothing for
SBC: KTECH CORP. Topic: N/AA growing number of fire fighters are suffering third degree burns; this has led to questions about the adequacy of thermal protective performance (TPP) measurements for protective clothing. A new heat flux sensor, whose response approximates that of skin, will be developed to provide better measurements of heat transfer in TPP tests. This sensor will be used with nonlinear parameter estimation an ...

Thermographic Phosphor Based Heat Flux Sensors
SBC: KTECH CORP. Topic: N/AAs fire protection engineering moves towards the implementation of performance- based fire codes, the use of validated fire models is becoming a necessity. Part of the validation process involves demonstrating model capabilities for predicting key fire environment parameters. One of the key parameters for estimating time to ignition and fire growth is the heat transfer rate to compartment surfaces ...

ROBUST DESIGN ENGINEERING WORKSTATION
SBC: MANAGEMENT SCIENCES INC Topic: N/AMSI PROPOSES TO INCORPORATE BACKGROUND SUBSTITUTION OF "FAULTY MODELS" IN CAD DESIGN SIMULATION OF ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS TO PERFORM A "DESIGN OF EXPRIMENTS" DETERMINATION OF SENSITIVITY TO PARAMETRIC VARIATION IN COMPONENTS. THE INFORMATION LEARNED WILL BE USED TO SELECT COMPONENTS THAT WILL HAVE A LONGER LIFE, AND GREATER DURABILITY. THIS FORM OF ANALYSIS COMBINED WITH WORST CASE SENSITIVITY ANALYS ...
