A PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A REAL-TIME CATHODE RAY TUBE (CRT) DISPLAY WITHOUT THE USE OF SPECIAL GLASSES OR DISPLAY CRT ISPROPOSED. THIS SYSTEM WILL INCORPORATE A PROCESS WHICH MAKES INNOVATIVE USE OF ASPECTS OF VISUAL PERCEPTION AND IS IN CURRENT DEVELOPMENT FOR MOTION PICTURES. PHASE I WILL PRODUCE A REAL-TIME DEMONSTRATION OF THE PROCESS ON A COMPUTER-DRIVEN CRT AND MAKE AN OBJECTIVE MEASURE TO SH ...

DNA microarray technology, in combination with statistical and predictive modeling tools, could be used to evaluate thousands of genes against distinct gene expression patterns induced by chemical/biological agents to provide early identification and speed therapeutic intervention. The overall objective of this proposal is to demonstrate the feasibility of building a data management system for DN ...

In the wake of the September 11th attacks and subsequent Anthrax scares, researchers worldwide are working to expand our ability to rapidly assess what poses a terrorism threat to the public. The rapid detection of specific pathogens is required for biod

This SBIR application proposes to develop, evaluate, and implement an Internet-based educational outreach site focusing on the varied biological effects of microgravity. We will develop a website, BodiesInSpace.com, to host the curriculum and courses on the Internet. The curriculum development process will be based on reviews of existing secondary school biology curricula and current NASA public ...

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used as an analysis tool to help the designer gain greater understanding of the fluid flow phenomena involved in the components being designed. The next step in the design process is to modify the design to improve the componentys performance, typically performed manually by the designer in a trial and error fashion. The innovations proposed herein will provid ...

Sigma-K Corporation proposes to develop a Hermetic Textile Closure Hardware System to be used for Chemical Biological (CB) protective clothing and Collective Protection (COLPRO) portable shelter systems. Our Hermetic Textile Closure Hardware System design will allow the user to easily don and doff one's protective apparel. The system will remain intact during combat behavior. The closure interface ...

This TenXsys NASA SBIR project focuses on an innovative software solution that allows complex real-time data streams to be viewed as information on devices. The TenXsys solution allows access to data anywhere, anytime using wireless transmission to a web enabled handheld device such as a personal data assistant (PDA), laptop, or cell phone. This will allow distributed operations of missions, wil ...

This SBIR project is to develop field emission electric propulsion (FEEP) thruster using carbon nanotubes (CNT) integrated anode. FEEP thrusters have gained considerable attention for spacecrafts disturbance compensation because of excellent characteristics. The application of current FEEP has been slow in developing mainly caused by high specific power, which limit the milli-Newton thruster dev ...
