This Phase-II SBIR proposal directly addresses the need to improve the size, weight and power, SWaP, of optical cryocoolers. In particular, the proposers will work toward increasing the efficiency of optical cryocoolers by incorporating cooling materials that require less input laser power to achieve a given heat lift. The new cooling materials will be high-purity crystals doped with active rare-e ...

The main objective will be to optimize the formulations developed and tested during the Phase I program for a high-performance, flexible, composite barrier that provides protection from Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear agents and Toxic Industrial Materials. UDC will work toward the further improvement of chemical agent protection so that these flexible composite barriers will be ...

Multilayer chemical protective gloves that provide 24 hours of protection against chemical warfare agents while being more resistant to petroleum oils and flames than the currently used butyl rubber gloves will be developed. This will be achieved usingaqueous nanocomposite elastomeric coatings specially formulated for use in newly designed multilayer gloves. In phase 1, InMat demonstrated that a f ...

Semorex has carried out a successful Phase I project which demonstrates the potential of Molecularly Imprinted Polymer (MIP) technology to solve the critical problem of improving organophosphate (OP) detection. MIPs, plastic polymers with specificmolecular binding sites molded into them, combine the selectivity of antibodies with the robustness of polymers.Prior to and as part of Phase I, Semorex ...

THE RESEARCH PROGRAM WILL DEVELOP A MICROCOMPUTER BASED SYSTEM OF HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE WHICH WILL ALLOW THE USER TOEXECUTE MAINFRAME BASED CODES ON THE MICROCOMPUTER. IN ADDITION PARALLEL EXECUTION OF SEVERAL CODES AT ONCE IS POSSIBLEA SPECIAL INPUT AND OUTPUT PROCESSOR MODULES WILL ALSO BE DEVELOPED TO DEMONSTRATE THE USER FRIENDLY CAPABILITIES OF THE SYSTEM AND FACILITATE INPUT PREPARATION AND ...

MaXentric proposes the GAU2x2 wideband power amplifier system. The design combines MaXentric’s wideband RF PA technology with advanced digital signal processing in a single small footprint package. This tight integration is made possible through the extremely high efficiency and low power dissipation. Since very little power is dissipated as heat, the package and heat sink size can be minimized. ...

In prior and ongoing, unrelated work in electrochromics, this firm developed unique, thin, flexible, double-sided, metallized (Au, Pt), microporous membranes, incorporating Conducting Polymer (CPs). Expected to have very high electro-osmotic flow capacities, they are useful for active water vapor transport through CBD-protective membranes for military uses such as hardened military facilities, s ...
