DNA microarray technology, in combination with statistical and predictive modeling tools, could be used to evaluate thousands of genes against distinct gene expression patterns induced by chemical/biological agents to provide early identification and speed therapeutic intervention. The overall objective of this Phase II effort is to leverage existing public domain resources and commercial tools t ...

PHASE I STUDY OF THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A ZOOM LENS AS DESCRIBED IN SBIR TOPIC N86-154 IS PROPOSED. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY IS TO INVESTIGATE ALTERNATIVE CONFIGURATIONS TO FIND THE ONE MOST EFFECTIVE IN MINIMIZING PRODUCTION COST, SIZE, AND WEIGHT WHILE OFFERING APPROPRIATE OPTICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND PERFORMANCE, REMOTELY ADJUSTABLE FOCAL LENGTH OF 12 TO 30 MM, APERATURE OF F/4, AND FI ...

Vessels of all types have a limited useful life and must ultimately be dismantled or scuttled as artificial reefs, with wastes properly disposed. The Navy is seeking a means of removing hydrocarbons from inactive ships prior to ship dismantling or sinking as an artificial reef. The Phase I project investigated the use of a biological/mechanical system that was capable of removing free-phase oil w ...

GEOPHEX, LTD. PROPOSES TO DEVELOP AN AIRBORNE ELECTROMAGNETIC (AEM) SYSTEM DEDICATED TO THE DETECTION OF SUBMARINES IN THE OCEAN (TOPIC NO. N87-22, THE DOD SBIR PROGRAM, 1987). THE AEM METHOD HAS RECENTLY EMERGED AS A VIABLE TECHNIQUE FOR AIRBORNE CHARTING OF WATER DEPTH (IN EXCESS OF PERHAPS 100 M), WATER CONDUCTIVITY (THUS, SALINITY AND TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS), AND BOTTOM SEDIMENT CONDUCTIVITY ( ...

THE GOAL OF THIS RESEARCH IS TO DEVELOP INNOVATIVE APPROACHES COMBINING THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY IN COMPUTERS, COMMUNICATIONS AND SOFTWARE TO IMPLEMENT A WIDE AREA NETWORK LINKING DIVERSE NAVY AGENCIES. THE NETWORK WILL PROVIDE REMOTE ACCESS TO A COMPUTER SYSTEM WHICH, IN TURN, PROVIDES THE FOLLOWING GENERIC CAPABILITIES: 1. REMOTE LOGIN; 2. ELECTRONIC MAIL; 3. FILE TRANSFERS. A MASTER PLAN FOR THE N ...

Proposal to access modification of current static transfer switch (STS) product technology for military aircraft operation. High-speed STS in the 120/208 voltage range have been available for government use for several years. However these 60Hz switches will require significant control and packaging modifications for military aircraft installation. Higher Power Engineering (HPE) has significant ...

The Navy is seeking improved capabilities to generate automatically elevation data products and have updatable and retrievable output via an automated advanced tactical terrain database system, supporting the Tomahawk Cruise Missile Program. The envisioned end-to-end solution must be able to process, manage, and/or fuse a variety of inputs, and these include multi-source imagery as well as existin ...

The US Navy seeks improved capabilities to generate automatically 3-D target template data in support of the Tomahawk Cruise Missile Program. Our collective approach herein is divided between: (1) feature generation using enhancements to the IAVO TrueDEM DEM extraction tool and (2) a new high-level system called TrueTemplate that automatically builds 3-D target templates from the TrueDEM feature ...

The US Navy is seeking improved capabilities to quickly and efficiently generate 3-D target templates (or “site models”) to support such operational systems as the Tomahawk Command and Control Systems (TC2S), Distributed Common Ground Station-Navy (DCGS-N), and collateral damage assessment (e.g., CDET and FastCD). There are two parts of interest. The first is to extract valid and reliable 2-D ...

Build and demonstrate a working proof of principle model for validation of the motor design process and verification of the proposed concept. The model will consist of a single sided motor stator, a slotted runner plate, and a cart capable of moving a hanging weight in the horizontal direction. The motor design will allow for the use of an existing motor drive (inverter) without the need for coi ...
