With in situ data management favoring workflows composed of multiple simulations and analyses connected in transit on heterogeneous machines, scientists and engineers need for a tool that enables them to create data extracts, visualizations, and interactively monitor and steer their simulations. JMSI is developing SCOREBOARD, an easy to use library for data extract production and simulation monito ...

An important challenge electric utilities will face in the foreseeable future is a workforce that is rapidly retiring and the resulting loss of institutional knowledge.This will also create a vulnerability in the electric grid, especially during widespread power outages where recovery efforts rely on a team of well-trained and experienced personnel.Disasters like Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico hig ...

MaXentric proposes the GAU2x2 wideband power amplifier system. The design combines MaXentric’s wideband RF PA technology with advanced digital signal processing in a single small footprint package. This tight integration is made possible through the extremely high efficiency and low power dissipation. Since very little power is dissipated as heat, the package and heat sink size can be minimized. ...

Wind power plays an increasingly important role in satisfying the power needs of the United States. With increased market penetration, unanticipated unsteady loading induced failures, installation related reductions in power generation and significant maintenance costs have underscored the need to predict the unsteady fluid structure interactions related to turbine layout and off-design wind condi ...

70665S02-II A range of microelectronic devices, including electroluminescent (EL) devices, OLEDs, LEDs, photovoltaics, chemical sensors, and lasers among others, would benefit immediately from a viable p-type transparent conductive oxide. None are routinely available, although there exists limited evidence that they could be made. This project will optimize an existing low-cost, scalable MO ...

70936B02-II Conventional sources of general illumination are relatively inefficient and produce a significant amount of heat. New sources of solid state lighting, based on high efficiency phosphorescent organic light emitting devices (PHOLEDs) offer the potential for significant energy savings and other environmental benefits. This project will further develop two novel approaches to use high ...

70640S02-II Advanced electrochemical devices with high power density and fast charge rate capability (less than 10 minutes) are needed for hybrid electric vehicles. Existing electrode materials and battery configurations are not capable of providing the necessary performance at low cost. This project will develop a new class of nanostructured tungsten oxide anodes with high electrical conduc ...

70606S02-II Rare-earth-doped potassium lead pentachloride crystals are sought as new mid-IR lasers for detecting airborne chemical species for national security applications, but a reproducible growth technique is not yet available. Achieving high quality crystals also will require suitable raw material preparation techniques. This project will develop purification and growth methods capable ...

70631S02-II Rare earth orthophosphate crystals could satisfy the requirements for improved scintillators needed for nuclear physics experiments. These requirements include fast decay time (approximately 30 nsec with no slow component), greater light output compared to current materials, a radiation length less than 2 cm, and the ability to be grown in a large size. All of these requirements ...

70798B02-II This project will develop a novel, enzyme-catalyzed liquid membrane reactor to separate carbon dioxide from flue gas. The approach involves new reactor design, computer modeling, reaction kinetics testing, and reactor throughput measurement under simulated conditions. Phase I built and evaluated several new reactor designs, initiated computer modeling of the chemistry, and began t ...
