For 50 years Babington has pioneered the field of ultra-clean combustion for home and off-grid heating and cooking. Our unique air-atomization and burner technology provides for near perfect combustion of liquid fuels with variable heat outputs. Babington burners have heated homes and millions of meals for U.S. militaries and disaster relief organizations worldwide. Recently, we reengineered ou ...

This SBIR Phase II proposal provides a sustainable solution for two major environmental challenges in the agriculture and building industry. In the agriculture industry, swine manure treatment is a major problem, both environmentally and economically. Currently, more than 120 million hogs being produced in the US per year, generating more than 6 billion gallons of swine manure that must be treated ...

This project investigates the possibility of intersubband optoelectronics as a general replacement for standard interband lasers and detectors when radiation hardness is a prime concern.It is argued that the majority carrier nature of the intersubband device provides intrinsic resistance to displacement-related effects that occur during high energy particle irradiation.This argument will be proven ...

Proposed is the development of an advanced solid state neutron spectrometer (NeuKopis) with directional resolve, building from prototype instruments that have demonstrated the art-of-the-possible. The intrinsic neutron detection efficiency of the refined

STANDARD MONTE CARLO AND FN METHODS FOR RADIATION TRANSPORT WILL BE USED TO STUDY A NEWLY PROPOSED SHIELD CONFIGURATION FOR PROTECTION AGAINST PARALLEL OR SLIGHTLY DIVERING GAMA RAY BEAMS IN A SPACE (NON-SCATTTERING) ENVIRONMENT. THE NEW CONFIGURATION EMPLOYS LAYERED SHIELDS, WITH CONSIDERABLE SEPARATION BETWEEN THE LAYERS, TO SHADOW THE TARGET, OF THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE DIRECTION OF INCIDENCE IS ...

UNIQUE CHARGE-COUPLED DEVICES MAY BE ABLE TO RECORD PHENOMENA WITH INFORMATION SPANNING DC - 20GHZ. DATA TO BE RECORDED IS SAMPLED AT RATES UP TO 100 GS/S AND STORED TEMPORARILY IN THE CCD. IT IS THEN SHIFTED AT SLOW RATES INTO A CONVENTIONAL A/D AND DIGITAL MEMORY. PRELIMINARY RESEARCH SUGGESTS BROAD TRADE-OFFS AMONG RECORD LENGTH, SAMPLING INTERVAL, DYNAMIC RANGE, AND OTHER FACTORS. OUR FIRST ST ...
