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 ...

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 ...

ABSTRACT: The overall objective of this project is to develop scalable simulation components that effectively model the meso-scale physics of heterogeneous energetic materials subject to dynamic shock loading including matrix debonding, void collapse, and damage due to crystal to crystal interactions, and bridges the meso-scale to the macro-scale for system scale simulations of the transition to d ...

Cell-free expression systems are becoming robust platforms to reduce system complexity, to use toxic and non-naturally occurring compounds or to produce metabolic intermediates, proteins and molecules that are otherwise toxic to cells. Unfortunately, current cell-free expression platforms are often inconsistent, low scale, not flexible, poorly characterized and limited to relatively simple biologi ...

To maintain combat readiness in a changing warfare landscape, the Navy and USMC training communities needs comprehensive, easy-to-use database generation and editing tools. These tools must be flexible geospatial source data often lacks detail, so customization capabilities are essential. For example, users may need to edit the terrain database to accurately represent building interiors and perfo ...

Integrated Clinical Environments (ICE) rely heavily on medical devices that need to be protected from security threats without compromising patient health and safety. There is a need to assess clinical workflow configurations in terms of security, usability, and efficiency. Currently, each medical device has its own security controls. Access to multiple devices in the integrated environment requir ...
