The Joint Venture of Damona Service Company and the Fastenix Corporation proposes to develop self-locking fasteners for airframe assembly and repair. The design concepts for these self-locking fasteners are well thought-out. A prototype fastener is made and proves the design concept works. In order to claim total success of the product, mathematics and stress models need to be developed to pred ...

Certain weapons produce blast waves capable of trauma to gas-filled organs. There is an immediate need for a blast mitigation jacket to prevent lung damage when training with such weapons, and a similar need for combatants. Our first objective in PhaseII is to complete the research and development of fundamental blast mitigation concepts developed during Phase I. During Phase I, we used analyti ...

Breathable release coatings that can withstand processing conditions up to 750F are needed for use on ceramic tooling. In situ removal of volatiles in solvent-based composite processing is a critical issue that will enable production of high quality parts at lower cost per part. Current release coatings meet neither the temperature nor the solvent transport requirements of solvent-based composit ...

The final prototype of the Microcircuit Board Repair apparatus will be capable of laying down or lifting metal strips with micrometer dimensions. Under real time computer control, the translation stages will be fully automated or manually controlled. The end user will monitor the process in real time using a camera attached with the source. Laying down the metal lines will be done using Laser C ...

FSCX will develop a methodology and system design that will lead to a Phase II SBIR prototype, which will provide automated, decision support products to improve collective performance in training and real world operations. The prototype will improveindividual and collective understanding in information intensive, digital environments. FSCX calls this prototype SpectoAgnito, a coined term meanin ...

This SBIR will perform research leading to design, prototyping, and feasibility demonstration of an Inactive RF Tag made with a Radio Frequency Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (RF-MEMS) as a means to provide power scavenging in a power poor environmentfound in underground missile storage areas. The research will develop the use of RF-MEMS switches in conjunction with RF MEMS sensors as a means t ...
