The overall objective is to improve the safety and health of firefighters and rescue workers who use a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) in hazardous environments. The specific aim is to develop an electromechanical pressure regulator that assures positive pressure in the SCBA facepiece even during strenuous activity. Positive pressure is essential to protect health and safety, because the ...

Mycotoxins are compounds produced by certain species of fungi which infect grains such as corn and peanuts. Among the most common and most toxic of these are the aflatoxins (AF), with AFB1 and AFG1 recognized as potent carcinogens in addition to their other negative effects. Contamination results in large economic losses at all levels of food production. Few effective means of treating contamin ...

MATERIAL AND STRUCTURAL DAMPING IS REQUIRED IN MANY APPLICATIONS WHEREIN SUPPRESSION OF UNWANTED DYNAMIC DISPLACEMENTS CAN BE CRITICAL. WHILE ACTIVE CONTROL CAN PROVIDE SUCH SUPPRESSION, THE COMPLEXITY AND COST PENALTIES ASSOCIATED WITH ACTIVE SYSTEMS REDUCE THEIR ATTRACTIVENESS. PASSIVE MATERIAL AND STRUCTURAL DAMPING CAN PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS. RESEARCHERS ARE IDENTIFYING THE POTENTIALS OF ...

In an information-rich environment, the possibility of enhancing the decision-making processes and outcomes is closely tied to the proper and timely management and analysis of information. In a team decision making environment coopertion, communication, collaboration, shared situational awareness and mental models become critical parameters for success. Computer technology, hardware and software ...

Alameda Applied Sciences Corporation (AASC) proposes to develop a new class of real time integrating diamond radiation dosimeters. In Phase I AASC will demonstrate the feasibility of using diamond radiation detectors for monitoring personnel radiation dose. The sensitivity of these detectors will be determined and a concept design for a pocket real time dosimeter will be completed. The Phase ...

Alameda Applied Sciences Corporation (AASC) proposes to develop a new class of x-ray imaging instruments based on a 2-dimensional, square-pore microchannel plate technology. This square-pore technology could lead to higher sensitivity x-ray telescopes in astronomy, wide field of view sensors for the BMDO mission and to superior anti-scatter grids to enhance contrast and resolution in mammography s ...

Alameda Applied Sciences Corporation (AASC) and its co-operative partner, the Plasma Applications Group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (PAG/LBNL) propose to develop and commercialize a sub-kW vacuum arc ion thruster for electric propulsion and other government and commercial applications. The proposed thruster will use a solid propellant, which offers several advantages over Xenon or ...

Alameda Applied Sciences Corporation in conjunction with UC Davis Medical Center, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Schott Fiber Optics, proposes to develop large format, focused, two-dimensional, microchannel plate anti-scatter grids as commercial replacements for today's linear anti-scatter grids used in radiography. In Phase I, the applicants will develop 18x24cm grids focused at 60cm ...
