40640 November 12, 1996 Adherent Technologies, Inc. Scintillators have been used for over 90 years to detect ionizing radiation, but solid organic scintillator, commonly used in physics experimentation, suffer from errors caused by pulse pileup. To minimize this problem, this project will examine a new class of polymeric materials which also offer the po ...

41084 November 20, 1996 Advanced Modular Power Systems, Inc. The Alkali Metal Thermal to Electric Converter (AMTEC) is a static energy conversion device that operates at thermal to electric conversion efficiencies that have reached 19% and are expected to reach 25% to 30% in mid 1996. These systems operate silently, with no moving parts and can utilize an ...

129 Integrated 2-D Silicon Detector for High-Count-Rate, Low-Noise X-Ray Applications--ARACOR, 425 Lakeside Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94086-4704; (408) 733-7780 Dr. Yuzhong June Wang, Principal Investigator Mr. Ed LeBaker, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG03-97ER82330 Amount: $75,000 Detectors used for nuclear physics research, synchrotron applications, and analytical x-ray instruments are cur ...

40344 November 12, 1996 ARACOR Glass capillaries, which have been pulled into focusing geometries with narrow exit apertures, have shown substantial gains for the concentration of 1 to 20 keV x rays into sub-micron beams. These optics have been used on both synchrotron and laboratory x-ray instruments. However, the main barrier to their useful deployment ...

40417 November 18, 1996 American Research Corporation of Virginia This project addresses the hazardous waste problem at Department of Energy sites by developing a new class of ultrafiltration membranes for use in corrosive aqueous or organic streams. These membranes will utilize mesoporous ceramics, which have narrow pore size distributions and tailorabl ...

40063 November 4, 1996 Amparo Corporation First-generation radioactive beam facilities, in use or under construction, cannot completely address many of the scientific opportunities envisioned until an intense production beam is employed. This project addresses a key element in filling this need, the design of high power nuclear targets. The targe ...

85 Thermodynamic Vent System For LNG Storage--AYL Technologies, 10787 Arabella Place, Cerritos, CA 90703-8019; (562) 925-1954 Mr. A.C. Yi, Principal Investigator Ms. E.K. Yi, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG03-97ER82306 Amount: $73,948 The Department of Energy has a fuel efficiency goal of 10 miles per gallon for heavy-duty trucks fueled by liquefied natural gas; present-day trucks fuele ...

40892 Biogeneral, Inc. Many applications in high energy physics instrumentation include the use of scintillating or wavelength shifting (WLS) plastic optical fiber. In order to extend performance, fiber with greater light trapping (higher numerical aperture) capability would be extremely useful. However, advances in scintillating optical fiber technology are dependent on access to appropriate po ...

54 Stabilization of Nitride Magnet Material Via Sol-Gel Route--Chemat Technology, Inc., 19365 Business Center Drive, Suite 8 & 9, Northridge, CA 91324-3526; (818) 727-9786 Dr. Yuhong Huang, Principal Investigator Ms. Jenny Sajoto, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG03-97ER82347 Amount: $75,000 Today permanent magnets play an important role in technology. The development of smaller and stro ...
