AbTech Corporation proposes to apply its unique Statistical Network ModelingTM technology to develop a non contact prognostic assessment tool that 1) acquires, processes, and analyzes electronic radiated signal data, 2) learns the expected characteristics and patterns of specific radiated signals measured from microelectronic semiconductor devices using AbTech's statistical network modeling techno ...

SIMOX (Separation by IMplanted OXygen) technology achieves total dielectric isolation of active device regions from the substrate and reduces the collection path for ionized charges via the built-in buried oxide which restricts charge movement. Advances in SIMOX technology include radiation hardened memories and gate arrays for space applications, ULSI DRAMs for low voltage operation, thin film l ...

Demonstration of a cryogenically cooled electronic power converter/inverter exhibiting a throughput power of at least 50 kW is proposed. The demonstration topology may be utilized as a variable amplitude variable frequency dc-to-ac inverter, or as a polyphase ac-to-dc rectifier. Operation of the prototype is to be at a temperature of 77 degrees K utilizing liquid nitrogen as a coolan ...

AL/AOCF noted that the accurate evaluation of hearing acuity depends on the ability to attenuate background noise during audiometric testing. Audiometric testing efficiency can be improved and cost significantly reduced if headphones with the capability to attenuate noise can be utilized to accurately transmit test signals precluding the need for a traditional sound room. USAF described the prob ...

Active noise reduction (ANR) headsets have found a market niche in the hearing protection industry, thereby validating the technology of active noise control for personal applications. This Phase I project will seek to extend the application of personal ANR systems to include specialized headphones which can successfully evaluate hearing acuity in typical clinical environments. To ensure a succe ...

Fiber & Sensor Technologies (F&S), teaming with Virginia Tech, proposes to develop an adaptive control system for cure of thermoset resins during manufacture and repair of polymer matrix composites. Leveraging DOD-sponsored development of fiber optic cure monitor sensors, F&S will develop an embeddable "sensor string" by multi-plexing pressure, temperature, and viscosity sensors on a single optic ...
