DEVELOPMENT OF A PLAN AND ITS DEMONSTRATION IN PRODUCING MODERN DATABASE FOR RV TECHNOLOGIES IS PROPOSED BY USING CLOUD MICROPHYSICAL DATA SETS COLLECTED SINCE 1985 OVER THE NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT AND U.S. ARMY KWAJALEIN ATOLL. THE PLAN INCLUDES THE USE OF AIRBORNE RADAR, MODELING, AND SATELLITE ADDITIONS TO THE PARTICLE SIZE DATA TO CORRELATE PARTICLE SIZE AND LIQUID WATER CONTENT OVER AN EXTEN ...

THE KEY PROBLEM TO BE ADDRESSED IN PHASE I OF THIS PROJECT WILL BE TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF A NOVEL POSITION MEASURING SYSTEM FOR A FAMILY OF COMPUTER CONTROLLED MACHINE TOOLS. THE MULTIPLE LASER MEASUREMENT SYSTEM (MLMS), WHICH FORMS THE BASIS OF THIS PROPOSAL, WILL MEASURE THE (X, Y, Z) POSITION OF THE CUTTING HEAD DIRECTLY AT RATES AND ACCURACIES SUFFICIENT FOR CLOSED LOOP POSITION CONTR ...

This proposal describes new low cost, low risk semiconductor-based approaches to fuze trigger circuit technology. These innovative approaches build on the promising new technology platform developed by ARIA as part of earlier SBIR research. ARIA's technology platform, initially developed for driving extremely high speed (400 picosecond rise time), high peak current pulses (400A) through laser di ...

The final prototype of the Microcircuit Board Repair apparatus will be capable of laying down or lifting metal strips with micrometer dimensions. Under real time computer control, the translation stages will be fully automated or manually controlled. The end user will monitor the process in real time using a camera attached with the source. Laying down the metal lines will be done using Laser C ...

The US Air Force plans to develop and demonstrate an aero-propulsion engine for hypersonic flight to Mach 8. This program focuses on use of hydrocarbon fuels and expendable engine designs for long-range cruise missile applications. A critical element for realization to the Air Force's hypersonic vehile mission is advancement in supersonic combustion ramjet engine technology. Development of conc ...

This project enables and incentivizes adaptation of IEEE Draft Standard 1076.1 (VHDL AMS) by mixed signal (analog/digital) engineers by providing a feasible, low risk migration path for existing SPICE like models (equivalence), then adds capability beyond that of SPICE (incentive). Specific work items include "black box" VHDL AMS source code generator technology, SPICEcompatible analog solver tech ...

Gradient Technology in conjunction with Prof. Christopher J. Palmstrom, proposes to develop a new optical monitor capable of measuring the atomic flux emitted from an effusion cell. This technique will utilize novel scattering technology under investigation here at Gradient Technology. We will be using a multiple reflection apparatus to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and optical fibers to ca ...
