Sterile and pyrogen-free water for injection (WFI) is an essential ingredient in parenteral and blood products. Applied Research Associates recently demonstrated a novel thermal approach that can achieve fast and virtually complete sterilization anddepyrogenation of potable water, and eliminate the possibility of bacteria and pyrogen buildup within the water conversion system (Navy STTR N99-T008 ...

To overcome the problems and performance limitations of traditional electronic compass designs and to achieve better performance at a lower cost, an innovative, simpler, more robust magnetic heading sensor is being developed. The approach is based on thethesis that heading sensor accuracy can be made better (and the heading sensor less complex and expensive) than traditional electronic compass de ...

We will develop an autonomous distributed Bayesian information fusion architecture for surveillance and situation monitoring based on data acquisition from sensor networks. This architecture employs a powerful new Bayesian lambda-calculus modeling languagefor probabilistic representation and inference developed at the University of New Mexico. The representation provided by the lambda-calculus sup ...

This proposal presents innovative research that will result in a multi-purpose, crash survivable, universal flight information system and data recorder (UFDR). The UFDR will digitally process and record structural, engine/propulsion, electrical/avionics,environmental, exceedance, and event data to crash survivable memory with capacity for terrabytes of data. It will have advanced features for pro ...

This proposal offers to develop, prototype and demonstrate an inexpensive and general-purpose wireless Dataport as a means to implement

A system concept is developed for the design of a stowable watertight enclosure for the submarine forward escape trunk hatch. Concept feasibility is assessed and work on a system prototype is initiated. The proposed enclosure is constructed of inflatableelastomer and can be processed via conventional techniques. It attaches to the hull and integrates with the lower (

Power consumed in electronics is a major issue for both government and commercial systems, and has become a driver in certain applications when required capability, available power sources, and total power budget must be balanced. One of the keyrequirements of autonomous distributed underwater systems is to minimize power consumed behind the instrument sensors, in extracting, coding and transmitt ...

Sonalysts, Inc. proposes applying the concepts developed in Phase I toward the design and development of a prototype Combined Arms Training Support System (CATSS). This prototype will demonstrate the potential for low-cost simulations to be integratedinto training environments. The training audience for the CATSS prototype would range from deployed high-level Naval staff officers to Marine exped ...
