The printed approach that Sciperio used in Phase I demonstrated that it is feasible to utilize direct printing to manufacture ignition bridges. The direct printed approach is a combination of printed electronics and 3D printing. The conductive materials were printed and the holder for the materials of interest was 3D printed and then filled. This is all done utilizing a single machine and therefor ...

In Phase II we propose to optimize wafer scale MoS2 deposition process to fabricate uniform large area monolayer and multi-layer MoS2 films and analyze the defects on these films. Monolayer regions that can result in device periphery larger than 50m will be targeted. Further, the charge transfer doping process using TiOx will be optimized for MoS2 multi-layer and RF transistors will be fabrication ...

HYPRES, in collaboration with University of California, Berkeley, proposes to transition superconducting parametric amplifier technology into a robust line of products. In Phase I, we designed a compact package for lumped-element Josephson parametric amplifiers (LJPA) fabricated by our collaborators at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. We have also established the feasibility of digitization of the amplifie ...

DoD is concerned about circadian rhythm misalignment in military personnel as it is known to affect judgment, psychomotor skills, and may lead to or be triggered by Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Correction or maintenance of circadian phase in soldiers participating in military night operations or planning for trans-meridian flights is also of interest. In addition, many veterans who suffe ...

This SBIR consists of the development of a dual-frequency-band imaging radar operating at Ka-band and L-band with ground moving target indicator (GMTI) and Video-SAR capabilities for use on small manned and unmanned aircraft. Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions will benefit from the flexible multi-band SAR that will handle several missions with significantly reduced size, ...

This project focuses on developing a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent that may increase the detection of tagged cells by a factor of 10-100. The ability to noninvasively track specifically labeled (tagged) cells, enables a researcher or medical treatment professional to dynamically monitor the delivery and targeted application of medicinal and bio-reactive agents.

Standards and specifications are widely used in government and industry to define requirements for products and processes and insure interoperability, safety, and quality of industrial and domestic products. Specifications and standards documents almost always cross-reference other standards and specification. Taken together, the web of interdependent standards forms an immensely important knowled ...

The objective of this proposal is to completer the development for a new miniaturized and very low power oscillator product which provides very low phase noise even under high vibration environments. This technology will be called the Low Power, G-Compensated, Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator (LPG-OCXO). Current state of the art acceleration compensated oscillators are 100-350 cubic centimeters ...

This project will produce a robust mechanical vapor compression water treatment system made economical and low-maintenance by a patented nanotechnology polymer membrane, Aqualyte. Aqualyte is a strong and inherently fouling resistant material organized at the nanometer scale with extremely hydrophilic regions that transport water molecules through the solid material without the need for any porosi ...

The treatment of water with chlorine is an effective way to kill waterborne pathogens such as bacteria, parasites and viruses. This process, however, produces toxic byproducts from the chemical reaction between chlorine and natural organic matter usually referred as disinfection by-products (DBPs). The presence of DBPs in drinking water may not just cause an unpleasant organoleptic taste, but is a ...
