Not Available The objective of this SBIR Phase I project is to develop and evaluate an innovative GPS receiver which allows the correlator output (i.e. in-phase and quadrature samples) to be directly used in a combined demodulation and navigation algorithm. Because this method makes full use of the intersatellite statistical properties of phase, frequency, and delay processes, as well as the corr ...

Purpose: Braille is the primary medium of written communication for persons who are blind. Prior research shows that Braille literacy strongly correlates with stronger reading habits and the pursuit of higher education, whereas Braille illiteracy negatively impacts students' academic performance and ability to navigate the everyday world. A recent report found that there has been a dramatic declin ...

The DOD has a need to leverage state of the art technologies remotely detect, collect, and evaluate physiological signals of interest. Applications and concepts-of-operations (CONOPs) that would benefit from this capability include, but are not limited to: building-clearing, warfighter health monitoring or battle damage assessment and triage, situational awareness and assessment. The main goal o ...

Not Available Extreme miniaturization of sensors such as inertial measurement units IMUs has become possible with the development of micro-machining technologies. In addition to reducing size and weight, unprecedented reductions in cost and power consumption have been achieved. Unfortunately, performance has been the trade-off. Sensor structures created from very thin films have low lateral se ...

As an alternative to near-obsolete double-base or triple-base propellants, Digital Solid State Propulsion (DSSP) is developing Electric Solid Propellants (ESP) as a safe, green, higher performance highly manufacturable alternative for high velocity electro-thermal-chemical (ETC) gun rounds. These electric energetic materials are inherently safe, with ignition only possible via the sustained suppl ...

FABRICATION OF A MULTI-LAYER SUPERCONDUCTING COMPOSITE STRUCTURE ON A HIGH-STRENGTH SUBSTRATE SUCH AS NICKEL-ALLOY OR STEEL IS PROPOSED. THE COMPOSITE LAYERS CONSIST OF A BARRIER LAYER, A SUPERCONDUCTING LAYER, A PROXIMITY LAYER, AND A PROTECTIVE LAYER. PROVISION IS MADE FOR POSSIBLE USE OF MORE THAN ONE LAYER OF SUPERCONDUCTING MATERIAL. THE SUPERCONDUCTING LAYER (ELG. Y-BA-CU-O) MAY BE MIXED WIT ...

This Phase 1 project enhances safety and independence for wheelchair and scooter passengers riding in fixed route transit and increases quality of life and community participation through improved accessibility to vehicle safety systems for individuals with mobility disabilities. The goal is to create and demonstrate the feasibility of a novel forward facing wheelchair passenger station (FF-WPS) b ...
