"The goal of this program is to develop a small, inexpensive, rugged, easy-to-use Sub-Web Meteorological Monitoring System to collect environmental data and transmit these data to a Central Node. Meteorological stations that can measure atmospheric andenvironmental information are needed for battlefield awareness. Sensors to measure the following meteorological parameters were evaluated in Phase ...

"Army Transformation efforts and the ongoing digitization of the battlespace have created a situation where much of the data needed to create automated AAR products in training environments is now available in actual combat environments. Using AAR systemsas operational tools, we now have the opportunity to provide military organizations with AAR-like products and operational feedback in time for ...

"This proposal is submitted to topic area of interest "Area 1: Auxiliary components for balance-of-plant".Mesoscopic Devices proposes to develop a high-pressure air blower that improves power density and efficiency by as much as 50% over competing approaches. Recent advances in fuel cells demonstrate their potential to be the basis for compact and lightweightperson-portable power sources. Howeve ...

"Mesoscopic Devices proposes to design and demonstrate an advanced, portable fuel desulfurizer in response to the topic area of interest "Area 2: Technology for handling fuels and processing fuels to meet fuel cell requirements." The proposed portabledesulfurizer can utilize sulfur sorbents many times more efficiently than typical fixed bed, moving bed, or even fluidized bed approaches. The imp ...

"This proposal to the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Science & Technology describes an innovative approach to advancing the modeling, simulation and analysis of human cognition. Until now, two orthogonal conceptions have underpinned the modeling andsimulation of human cognition; one focuses on the mental workload that defines cognitive performance, while the other emphasizes the content of ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I proposal will lead to the development of a sensor for detection of the early onset of ketosis by breath acetone measurements. The device will be hand-held, lightweight, and battery-powered. Near-infrareddiode laser measurement of a gas-solid reaction product of acetone will afford increased sensitivity. The sensor will provide a rapid measurement ...

"The objective of this Phase I project is to develop high temperature control circuits for use in silicon carbide-based inverters operating at temperatures of 150¿C and higher. The specific objectives of this proposal are to research high temperaturecomponents, develop control circuit designs using available high temperature components, and analyze proposed designs to determine feasibility in i ...

Q-DOT proposes to develop a unizue, lower-power, low-cost beamformer for portable imaging sonars. The original two chip set will form 100 beams from 100 input channels. A 0.3 cm2 BiCMOS chip comprises a low noise amplifier (LNA), a time-gain control (TGC), an apodizer and a Delta-Signma modulation (ADC) for each channel. A 0.66 cm2 CMOS chip accepts 100 digital input channels and produces 100 d ...
