Adroit Systems, Inc. will develop a Pulse Detonation Synthesis (PDS) process to manufacture ceramic powders from gas-powder reactant mixtures more efficiently and inexpensively than current methods. A high combustion rate and simple design make the PDS system capable of mass producing these powders, which are used as raw materials for high-temperature, high-performance ceramics and ceramic composi ...

This Phase I project has two primary objectives. The first objective is to evaluate the feasibility of a fully ion implanted fabrication process based on the heterodimensional 2-D MESFET. The new device, the 2-D JFET, will have p+ ion implanted sidegates which laterally modulate a thin, highly doped n-type conducting channel. The 2-D JFET should have excellent high speed, low power characteristics ...

THIS STUDY WILL EVALUATE THE RANGE OF SHIP SIZES AND POWER LEVELS (SPEEDS) TO DETERMINE THE OPTIMUM SHIP CHARACTERISTICS FOR OPERATING U.S. FLAG RO/RO SHIPS IN U.S. COASTAL SERVICE. RO/RO CARGO HANDLING TECHNIQUES PREVALENT IN EUROPE AND SCANDINAVIA WILL BE INCORPORATED AS A FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENT OF THE SERIES OF SHIPS INVESTIGATED. THESE TECHNIQUES INVOLVE THE USE OF CASSETTES TO HANDLE CONTAINERS ...

BRIMROSE CORPORATION PROPOSES TO INVESTIGATE, DESIGN AND DEMONSTRATE A NOVEL OPTICAL BISTABLE DEVICE WITH A THRESHOLD OPTICAL INTENSITY SEVERAL ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE LOWER THAN THE CONVENTIONAL DEVICES. THIS DEVICE WILL OPERATE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE USING A LOW POWER CW LASER. ADVANTAGE OF SUCH A DEVICE WILL SIGNIFICANTLY FACILITATE THE NUMBER OF PROCESSING OPERATIONS IN OPTICAL COMPUTING AND SIGNAL P ...
