BONN Corporation (BONN) has chosen to concentrate on a methodology that computes an optimal target search in near-real-time, with the capability of accommodating user-definable optimality based upon time / pathlength, probability of target detection target value, and survivability in a dense threat environment. This methodology will be extensible to address multiple airborne platforms and multipl ...

This project is designed to deposit coatings of the Thallium based high temperature superconducting (HTS) compound, T1-2-2-2-3, onto substrates with complex geometries, appropriate for use as magnetic shields in DC cryogenic current comparators (CCC's). In this first phase, MSI will coat MgO substrates with the length, diameter, and internal passages appropriate to magnetic shields for CCC design ...

Opportunities exist to scavenge energy available in the wind to provide electrical power to many militarily significant, long-endurance, stand-alone data collection tasks, such as collection of meteorological data. This will greatly extend the no-maintenance endurance of data collection systems. This research project will develop and demonstrate two novel approaches to compactly packaging high-e ...

The proposal program will demonstrate packaging technology in an optical interconnect device consisting of at least 64 parallel interconnections between stages. The packaging will allow a 1 GHz bandwidth, micro-optoelectronic switch to survive in a 50 g (gravity) shock and vibration environment. OptiComp's enabling GaAs "Smart" optoelectronic interconnect modules will be used in the proposed opt ...

The principal objective of this proposal is to develop a design for the packaging of the high performance optoelectronic computer (HPOC) module. In addition, we will design the optical interconnect section of the HPOC module, and fabricate and test HPOC module sub-assemblies. A design will be developed for a structure which uses solder engineering to combine the HPOC module components (VCSEL, ar ...

The primary goal of this program is to develop intelligent software mechnaisms which enhance information discovery using a high capacity, scalable, optoelectronic information architecture. By exploiting a high performance optoelectronic computing (HPOC) module platform as a data "processing engine", innovative software mechanisms will be investigated which can manipulate data/knowledge ...

Raising pigs has become a specialized agribusiness. Pork producers have a desire to improve their efficiency of production in a cost effective manner. One tool to accomplish this is knowing the weight of the pig as it grows. This knowledge provides greater assistance in managing the feeding program as well as avoiding financial penalties when marketing. Feed costs account for 60% of the cost p ...

The primary problem to be addressed by this SBIR request is the need for development of specific ion sensors that can work reliably in sub-freezing environments to allow unmanned dataloggers to accumulate data on a down-loaded or real-time basis. This would involve re-designing the reference side of the electrode (half-cell) to be rugged enough to survive the conditions imposed upon it while also ...
