Emergent Technologies Corp. (ETC) in conjunction with research partners at West Virginia University has developed and recently patented an innovation antenna that promises to revolutionize the science of antenna design, construction and utilization. The antenna, labeled the Countrawound Toroidal Helical Antenna (CTTHA), offers a number of significant advantages over conventional antennas. The CT ...

The potential of Destructive Adsorbent Technology (DAT) to detoxify sulfur mustard and nerve agents has been demonstrated in the laboratory. DAT employs a new class of reactive adsorbent materials, known as nanoparticles, to detoxify such hazardous substances by removing halogen or phosphorous elements from them. Developed at Kansas State University, DAT has been licensed to Nantek, Inc. for fur ...

The objective of this program is to develop an integrated tribology system for advanced low heat rejection (LHR) diesel engines. The system will consist of a substantially improved high-temperature liquid lubricant, for long life under severe conditions; improved compatible engine tribomaterials; and an on-board sensor arrays for direct monitoring of engine oil condition. Surfaces Research lubri ...

The objective of this program is to develop an advanced tribology system for the next generation of high-output, low heat rejection (LHR) diesel engines. Engines for the U.S. Army Future Combat System will operate at significantly higher temperatures than today's prototype LHR engines. Surfaces Research proposes a program to develop wear-resistant coatings and engine oils that each contain solid ...

THIN FILM MEMBRANE-BASED SENSORS AND COMPONENTS SHOW PROMISE FOR A VARIETY OF GOVERNMENT AND COMMERCIAL USES. THEY OFFER POTENTIAL FOR VERY HIGH (UP TO 10(12)) AMPLIFICATION GAIN, DIME-SIZED DIMENSIONS, WITH SPECIFICITY AS DESIRED FOR BIOLOGICAL PROCESSES AND AGENTS. EXAMPLES MIGHT INCLUDE MICROBIAL PATHOGENS IN WATER OR MEDIA, INFECTIVE AGENTS OR FOOD SPOILAGE INDICATION, PLANT PATHOGENS, ALLERGE ...

THIS PROPOSAL WOULD ENCOMPASS THE DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF SOLID STATE POWER SWITCHES AS HYBRID CIRCUITS. THE CIRCUITS WOULD CONTAIN PARALLEL OUTPUT TRANSISTORS, ALL REQUIRED CURRENT DRIVE STAGES, HIGHTEMPERATURE AND HIGH-CURRENT PROTECTION. TEMPERATURES ARE MEASURED WITH SCREEN PRINTED OR CHIP THERMISTORS AND CURRENT WILL BE MONITORED AS A VOLTAGE ACROSS A SENSE RESISTOR OR OTHER METHOD YET TO B ...
