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 ( ...

CURRENT BEST TELEMETRY SOURCE COMBINER SYSTEMS USED AT WEAPONS TEST RANGES ARE CAPABLE OF SELECTING THE "BEST" SIGNAL FROM SEVERAL REDUNDANT SOURCES. HIGHER DATA RATES AND DETERIORATION OF TEST RANGE SNRS HAVE PRECIPITATED A REQUIREMENT FOR AN AUTOMATED TELEMETRY SIGNAL PROCESSING SYSTEM CAPABLE OF COMBINING AVAILABLE SOURCES INTO AN ENHANCED "BEST SIGNAL."

SSUNNOL INC. IS PRESENTLY USING ITS PATENTED TECHNOLOGY OF INJECTION SEAM TO PRODUCE LIGHT WEIGHT COTTON GLOVES FOR THE U.S. NAVY, TVA, AND OTHER NUCLEAR POWER PLANT OPERATORS. FIVE MILLION PAIRS HAVE BEEN PRODUCED SINCE 1984, WITH 8 MILLION ON BACKLOG. AN INDIVIDUAL GLOVE CAN BE PRODUCED IN ONE SECOND AS COMPARED TO 30 SECONDS BY STITCHING. PRINCIPAL PURPOSE OF THE PROPOSED DESIGN STUDY WILL BE T ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY EFFORT IS TO PRODUCE COMPLETE SPECIFICATIONS, A DETAILED DESIGN, AND PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS FOR A 'FREQUENCY-STEPPED' GROUND PENETRATING RADAR (GPR) SYSTEM. THE FREQUENCY STEPPED APPROACH WILL ALLOW IMPROVEMENTS OVER THE TYPICAL 'SHORT-PULSE' RADAR BY IMPROVING BANDWIDTH CONTROL, IMPEDANCE MISMATCH COMPENSATION, HIGHER OUTPUT POWER, AND COHERENT INTEGRATION AND IMAGE P ...

MOVING-COIL TRANSDUCERS ARE USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH LOW POWER, LOW EFFICIENCY, BROADBAND AND VERY LOW FREQUENCY APPLICATIONS. THE RECENT INTRODUCTION OF RARE EARTH PERMANENT MAGNETIC MATERIALS HAVING HIGH ENERGY DENSITIES AND THE RECENT DEVELOPMENT OF BETTER DESIGN TECHNIQUES SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE EFFICIENCY, POWER HANDLING ABILITY, AND HIGH FREQUENCY OPERATION. THE APPLICATION OF THESE IMPROVEMEN ...

THE PROJECT PROPOSES THAT THE PHASE I EFFORT CONCENTRATE ON DETERMINING IMPACT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE CHARPY AND THE IZOD SPECIMEN WHILE EXAMINING THE CHEMISTRY, MICROSTRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF THESE STEEL. WE ALSO INTEND TO EXTEND THIS TO INCLUDE FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF THE SPECIMENS. THE PRECISE MATERIAL TO BE TESTED WILL BE DETERMINED FROM THE PROJECT MANAGER. THE FINITE ELEMENT STRUCTURAL ...

HIGH TECHNOLOGY SENSORS IS PROPOSING TO DEVELOP A MINIATURE NDIR SENSOR FOR THE PURPOSE OF MEASURING RESPIRATORY FUNCTIONS OF A NAVAL AVIATOR. THE SENSOR WILL FIT IN A SMALL EXTENSION OF THE AVIATOR'S MASK AND WILL UTILIZE AN ALL SOLID STATE INFRARED SOURCE DEVELOPED BY HIGH TECHNOLOGY SENSORS. A BREADBOARD SENSOR WILL BE DESIGNED, FABRICATED AND TESTED AS PART OF THE PHASE I PROGRAM.
