We propose a radically innovative approach to the problem of multiple access communication which promises to revolutionize the modern communication industry by dramatically increasing network throughput. Our approach is based upon two major novel components: (i) hybrid time-frequency allication of communication channel resources, and(ii) non-orthogonal, i.e., overlaping, multiplexed signals. Toge ...

The Multiple Degree of Freedom Measurement (MDFM) System, developed under Wright Laboratory, has been identified as having strong commercial potential as a significant enhancement to existing products in the machine tool industry for machine tool calibration or coordinate measuring machine enhancement. The MDFM is in need of revision to incorporate state-of-the-art technology, to prepare the devi ...

In the proposed research we will investigate methods for improving the performance of very long wavelength infrared (VLWIR) photovoltaic detectors fabricated from Hg1-xMnxTe. This material was chosen because Hg1-xMnxTe has been shown to have superior mechanical, chemical and thermal stability compared Hg1-xCdxTe. During previously SBIR-BMDO funded work, Brimrose Corporation successfully fabricate ...

Brimrose Corporation has developed a novel low-temperature and low energy ion-beam assisted growth process for minimizing the problems and improving the quality of the hetero epitaxial films of III-V compound semiconductors on foreign substrates such as silicon, germanium, etc. The improvement in the quality of hetero epitaxial InP/Si films will be achieved by using this novel low temperature grow ...

Phase I technical objectives of Brimrose Corporation are two fold. They are: 1) Epitaxial growth of AlxGa1-xN solar blind detector material device structure on new lattice and thermal matched substrates and evaluation of the material properties. The film growth will be carried out in Brimrose Corporation's 'Novel' ECR MOMBE Reactor using rare earth permanent magnets; 2) Preliminary epitaxial growt ...

The final prototype of the Microcircuit Board Repair apparatus will be capable of laying down or lifting metal strips with micrometer dimensions. Under real time computer control, the translation stages will be fully automated or manually controlled. The end user will monitor the process in real time using a camera attached with the source. Laying down the metal lines will be done using Laser C ...
