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 ...

In response to the DOD request to design and develop novel catalysts to facilitate the synthesis of energetic materials and commercially viable products, it is proposed to undertake a detailed molecular modeling studies on the structures of various zeolites and the binding of organic compounds and inorganic cations with these zeolites. New force field will be developed for these zeolites suitabl ...

We propose the application of HEMS technology to the development of a tactile finger tip display device for operation in conjunction with finger force reflective devices. By co~ining high bandwidth finger tip acutation with lower bandwidth, large motion finger force reflection, we hope to gain full range-of-motion dexterity with the impression of sensitive surface touch. For medical diagnostic ...

This research project is directed at developing advanced, high-performance, operator-machine interfaces that can be applied to a wide range of real military and commercial applications. As a first step in this direction, we are proposing to collect interface performance data and use this data to develop, implement, and evaluate concept approaches for advanced soldier computer interface systems. ...

During this effort, Cybernet Systems will study existing Personal Communications System (PCS) concepts which can be used to create an optimal digital video distribution system using PCS technology. In addition, we will provide the design specifications for a system which facilitates wide area distribution and receipt of information by the soldier. Commercial applications for the digital video di ...

Eye tracking and voice recognition provides a means for hands-free control of information displayed within a head-mounted display (HMD) device. This proposal outlines a program for combining eye tracking, voice recognition, and HMD technology to achieve an integrated hands-free soldier interface. With this device the soldier can quickly adapt displayed information to meet changing needs of the t ...

A need to control the fugitive emissions of hazardous vapors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) has been identified in operations at Army plants and depots. The High Mesa Technologies (HMT)/Coyote Aerospace team proposes to meet this need using proven silent discharge plasma (SDP) techniques, developed by the Electric Power Research Institute and Los Alamos Nat ...

The objective of this project is to develop a significantly improved ground vehicle for military reconnaissance with high speed over rough terrain and high mobility a prime factor. Concepts to capitalize on the attributes of electric drive and active suspension utilizing swing arm technology are explored and a practical system selected. The use of independent drive wheels of a hybrid electric dr ...

Cooling of the liner wall in gas turbine combustors has become increasingly difficult and problematic as engine pressure ratios are constantly increased. Existing cooling techniques have limitations in perfomance. At Energy Innovations, Inc., we have developed a new technology that has potential to effectively and efficiently solve the cooling problem for gas turbine combustors. One significant ...

More compact, efficient, lighter weight and lower cost radiators are desirable for the Army Ml 09A6 cooling system. At Energy Innovations, Inc.(EII), we have invented new thermal technology using innovative materials and designs which has potential to provide the high quality radiator for the Army. These new heat exchangers are characterized by technical merits such as high cooling capacity, low ...
