Standard U.S. Navy fiber optic assemblies require that the fiber be bonded to the connector using an adhesive that is labor intensive and heat controlled (MIL-A-24792). Advanced Material Systems (AMS) proposes a study that could solve this problem through the development of an adhesive system that would cure at room temperature in less that 3 minutes and yet meet all of the in-service req ...

It is difficult to remove oil and AFFF from voluminous streams. Research has been continously carried out to develop new technologies to be employed in this field of application with little success. Air-sparged hydrocyclone (ASH) flotation technology is a new technology developed by the University of Utah and Advanced Processing Technologies, Inc. It combines the advantages from both conventional ...

A critical component of a biochemical sensor system for detection and analysis of airborne pathogens are mechanisms for automated acquisition and transport of an air sample from the sensor inlet to the analysis chamber. While considerable capability already exists for sampling and handling of macroscopic volumes of gas, formidable technological challenges needed to be overcome before microfabrica ...

BONN Corporation (BONN) has chosen to concentrate on a methodology that computes an optimal target search in near-real-time, with the capability of accommodating user-definable optimality based upon time / pathlength, probability of target detection target value, and survivability in a dense threat environment. This methodology will be extensible to address multiple airborne platforms and multipl ...

There has been continuous improvement in commercial Land Cellular telephone technology since deployment of the first analog system - Advanced Mobile Phone Service - in 1984. Each new generation of air interface embodies increasingly sophisticated signal modulation schemes providing improved spectrum utilization and network capacity. Today, a state-of-the-art commercial digital Cellular ...

We will develop a commercially available vaginal suppository containing a hydrogenperoxide-producing strain of Lactobacillus for use in colonization of the vagina. In this project, a strainof Lactobacillus will be identified based on adherence to vaginal epithelial cells, hydrogen peroxideproduction, and growth characteristics. Methods for strain preservation and maintenance of viability,biochemic ...

A novel approach to the propulsion of very small, micro air vehicles is proposed in which electrostatic forces acting between an ion gas cloud and an appropriate anode are harnessed for thrust or lift. A means is proposed for the generation and maintenance of the ion gas from ambient air and for the regulation of the propulsor. Preliminary study indicates the new concept is valid only for air v ...

Delta Data Systems, Inc. (DDS), a key developer and supplier of GIS technology to clients such as NASA, COE, NOS, etc. and Neptune Sciences, Inc. (NSI), a developer of the Navy Surf Model and other nearshore related products, will combine their expertise to develop a Marine Geographical Information Systems. Presently, no one method exists to adequately assess the coastal environment. Large datab ...
