72526S03-I Collaboration on experimental nuclear physics projects is international and requires hundreds of participants. Due to the sheer size and complexity of the experiments, a great deal of the experimental planning, equipment design, preparation, and assembly must be carried out prior to the experimental runs. A low cost method for secure remote communications is needed to allow the colla ...

73137S03-IFuture active imaging systems for national security applications require compact, rugged, and efficient short-pulse laser sources that can operate over a wide-repetition-rate range. These systems can generate high-resolution topographical maps, which can help detect the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. However, to achieve adequate range and resolution in airborne and space ...

A. Bussing, Principal Investigator Mr. Russell Scholl, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG03-98ER82518 Amount: $74,998 This project will develop an innovative Pulse Detonation Combustion (P ...

50854-98-I Development of Corrosion Inhibitors for Absorption Heat Pumps--Advanced Mechanical Technology, Inc., 176 Waltham Street, Watertown, MA 02172-4809; (617) 926-6700 Dr. Joseph Gerstmann, Principal Investigator Mr. Andrew D. Vasilakis, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG02-98ER82519 Amount: $75,000 In order to compete effectively in the marketplace, advanced absorption heat pumps need ...

70570B02-II Currently available Li-ion batteries do not meet Department of Energy targets for electric vehicle (EV) or hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) applications. The problem is that today¿s cathode materials do not allow the specific energy and power density targets to be achieved while simultaneously being low cost, safe under abusive conditions, and environmentally benign. This project w ...

RECENT TESTING OF AIR-SPARGED HYDROCYCLONE (ASH) FLOTATION TECHNOLOGY FOR FINE COAL CLEANING AT THE EPRI/CODC TEST FACILITY HAS SHOWN THAT THE ASH SYSTEM HAS GREAT POTENTIAL FOR UTILIZATION IN THE COAL INDUSTRY. HOWEVER, EFFECTIVE UTILIZATION OF THIS TECHNOLOGY RELIES ON OPTIMUM CONTROL ANDCONTINUAL ADJUSTMENT OF MANIPULATED VARIABLES WITH RESPECT TO FLOTATION PERFORMANCE SINCE THE RETENTION TIME ...

50734-98-I Passive Remote Sensor for the Measurment of Terrestrial Carbon Changes--Aerodyne Research, Inc., 45 Manning Road, Billerica, MA 01821-3934; (978) 663-9500 Dr. Andrew Freedman, Principal Investigator Dr. Charles E. Kolb, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG02-98ER82520 Amount: $75,000 The Department of Energy (DOE) needs sensor and measurement devices to determine the limits of the ...

72904B03-I Aerosol particles have important effects on visibility, acid deposition, climate, and human health; yet large uncertainties remain in quantifying their chemical composition and atmospheric transformations. A significant part of the anthropogenic aerosol is generated from energy-related activities, and organic compounds are known to constitute a significant fraction of ambient aerosol ...

72080S03-I Nitrogen dioxide emissions are regulated by a national ambient air quality standard under the 1970 Clean Air Act. The prevalent means of detection, a chemiluminescence-based monitor (the so-called NOx box), often provides inaccurate readings for nitrogen dioxide in the presence of other nitrogen-containing trace atmospheric species. This project will build an uncomplicated, inexpensi ...
