Standard Digital CMOS silicon circuits will have high quality Thin Film emitters, and modulators integrated on to the silicon using epitaxial liftoff and results in low cost opto-electronics in the near future. ABJ Integration is a leader in the field and proposes to design an optimized FPA readout system using this technology. Both emitters and modulators as signal sources will be investigated.

ABJ Integration Technologies, Inc. proposes to model a vertically optically interconnected stack of silicon integrated circuits to form a three dimensional system. This 3D system will utilize through-substrate optoelectronic communication to which the package and silicon are optically transparent. System optimization for user specifications will include materials and components such as emitters ...

This proposal is focused at testing a new family of intermetallic materials for superior wear resistance in automotive applications due to the self-lubricating potential of the base material at a significant reduction in operating cost and capital investment. The proposed materials are produced by a new technique resulting in uniquely superior properties. Due to the ultrafine microstructure resu ...

Future battlefields will require independent operations and increased operational tempo, placing severe burdens on weapons platform crewmembers in the areas of information flow management, data fusion, and assessment of data to arrive at the most tactically acceptable decisions. Work continues in the development of decision aids to assist direct/indirect fire weapon platform commanders in accompl ...

TO MEET THE KINETIC ENERGY ANTI-SATELLITE (KE ASAT) REQUIREMENTS FOR TIMELY AND RELIABLE KILL ASSESSMENT, AEROMET PROPOSES TO RECOMMEND INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUES IN REAL-TIME KILL ASSESSMENT SPECTROSCOPY. BECAUSE IT CAN BE CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO ACCURATELY VERIFY SATELLITE ELIMINATION, A KILL ASSESSMENT SYSTEM MUST DISCERN BETWEEN VARIOUS HIT AND MISS PHENOMENA, INCLUDING THE USE OF POTENTIAL COUNTER ...

A FEASIBILITY STUDY IS PROPOSED ON A NOVEL CONCEPT FOR A GENERATION OF A VERY LIGHTWEIGHT, HIGHLY FOCUSED GAMMA RADIATION BEAM USEFUL FOR MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS IN DEFENSE SUCH AS KILL OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS IN LAND WARFARE, AND (AS DESCRIBED HEREIN) DISCRIMINATION OF TARGETS IN SPACE. THE DEVICE IS SMALL ENOUGH TO "PIGGY BACK" ON THE PROPOSED REENTRY VEHICLE (RV) INTERCEPTOR MISSILES, OR BE CARRIED ...

This project will analyze and select promising materials and designs to be used in the plumes of tactical solid rocket motors for missile steering and control. The emphasis is on high-performance refractory materials and compatibility of material systems. The control fins experience severe thermal and severe particulate erosion environments. Missile controllability requires fins with minimal er ...

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PHASE I INVESTIGATION IS TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF MULITIPLE SCLEROSIS PATIENTS (MSP) TO PERFORM EXERCISE ON SPECIALLY MODIFIED TREADMILL IMMERSED IN COOL WATER (AQUACISER SYSTEM). THE AQUACISER SYSTEM WILL BEMODIFIED TO PROVIDE 48" (VS 40") OF WATER DEPTH, COOL (VS HOT) WATER FOR HEAT DISSIPATION AND PHYSICAL SUPPORT AP-PARATUS FOR MSP DURING VARIOUS EXERCISE INTENSITIES ...

DISCRETE ELEMENT X-RAY DETECTORS DEVELOPED FOR MEDICAL COMPUTER TOMOGRAPHY ARE RECENTLY BEING APPLIED AS A DETECTION MEDIUM FOR INDUSTRIAL X-RAY RADIOGRAPHY. THE DETECTORS ARE DESIGNED WITH A WIDE DYNAMIC RANGE TO ACCOMMODATE THE MULTIPLE PATH DATA COLLECTION NECESSARY FOR COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY. IN THE STANDARD RADIOGRAPHIC INSPECTION MODE, THIS FEATURE ALLOWS THE EVALUATION OF A WIDE RANGE OF MATER ...
