Systima will develop innovative solutions for restraining and deploying multi-object payloads through adverse flight environments while minimizing size, weight, power, and induced mechanical loads.Systima has the unique experience and capabilities to develop Multi-object Payload Deployment concepts and will use an integrated systems approach to the retention and deployment requirements.(Approved f ...

Soair's technology captures and analyzes detailed gait and stride metrics and provides a Fall-Risk Assessment score. This automated technology is accurate, passive, non-intrusive, and low cost, which means it is ideal for use in rural residential and assisted living settings.Fall-related injuries and health issues stemming from falls are major concerns for seniors and their caregivers. Not onl ...

More than 95% of phenol used today is derived from petroleum based benzene by cumene process. The proposed research stems from our previous studies showing activated carbon as catalysts can convert oxygenated compounds generated from pyrolysis into high value and high purity phenols. We believe it was the first observation that carbon catalyst can effectively catalyze lignocellulose biomass conver ...

Nevada Composites has developed Green-Aero(sm) toolinglightweight ceramic tooling that is stable under high pressure and long-duration cure cycles and can be washed out with water after cures to 370C (700F). Tools, whether single-sided or washout, have a composite-compatible CTE, provide tight tolerances, are reproducible, are stable to storage under ambient conditions, and are of affordable cost. ...

The Constructable Platform effort will define a modular, reconfigurable, and expandable architecture for a platform in GEO to provide persistent support infrastructure for multiple, diverse payloads. The platforms reusability will enable the infrastructure cost to be amortized over multiple payloads, providing reductions in mission cost as well as reducing schedule and risk for fielding a new payl ...

DTRA is faced with the challenge of extracting and effectively utilizing information from a very large and diverse set of natural language and structured data sources. Current methods often lack contextualization and are generally noisy, shallow, patchy, and overly low-level. We will develop a unifying, general, and elegant solution to address this challenge, based on the overall Textual Rulelog a ...

The proposed ultra-fast shutter achieves all design requirements for hypervelocity debris mitigation in the EUV cold x-ray Z-machine experiment using a high reliability magneforming shutter which has been field tested hundreds of times under conditions very similar to the Z-pinch machine. The proposed device is based upon the electromagnetic hypervelocity debris mitigation shutter put into operati ...

Cyber deception can be used not only as a cyber attack detection mechanism but also as an effective way help friendly forces in response to a cyber attack detection.

Fluorescent penetrant inspection (FPI) is a commonly-used non-destructive evaluation (NDE) method for the detection of microscopic cracks.However, conventional FPI has serious limitations including the potential of hydrogen embrittlement, which can result in post-inspection damage to the parts being inspected.Additionally, small bores and tubes are very difficult to inspect using visual FPI method ...

Pre-flight and in-flight activities require pilots to carry voluminous materials, such as maps and charts, and utilize commercial applications that do not provide mission-specific information. This creates issues for the pilot by occupying physical space in the cockpit and forcing them to use multiple sources to complete their duties. By developing an electronic kneeboard application suite for the ...
