SOLAR FLARE PREDICTION IS A CRITICAL NEED FOR AIR FORCE SPACE AND COMMUNICATIONS OPERATIONS. THE KEY TO FLARE PREDICTION IS IN THE HIGHLY STRUCTURED MAGNETIC FIELDS PRECEDING FLARE ERUPTION. THE PROPOSED INSTRUMENT WILL ACHIEVE HIGH-SPATIAL-RESOLUTION MEASUREMENT OF THESE FIELDS BY OPERATION FROM A STRATOSPHERIC BALLOON, ABOVE THE DISTORTING EFFECTS OF THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE. THE PROPOSED SBIR PHA ...

THE PROJECT WILL DEMONSTRATE THAT, THROUGH VIDEOTAPE TRAINING AND SUPPORT PRINT MATERIALS, CHILD WELFARE PRACTITIONERS CAN USE THE ABC MODEL TO ASSIST FAMILIES IN MANAGING THE BEHAVIOR OF CHALLENGING CHILDREN AND YOUTH IN FOSTER, ADOPTIVE, AND BIRTH HOMES. THE TRAINING PACKAGE WILL INCLUDE A VIDEOTAPE, SUPPORTING PRINT MATERIALS, AND A SELF-TEST. THE VIDEOTAPE WILL HAVE TWO PARTS. PART I WILL USE ...

WE WILL DEVELOP A BIODEGRADABLE WOUND TREATMENT THAT CAN BE AEROSOLIZED DIRECTLY ONTO A WOUND SURFACE. IT WILL FORM A TOUGH, FLEXIBLE FILM THAT WILL SEAL THE WOUND AND PROVIDE FOR PROPER WATER LEVELS AT THE WOUND SURFACE. AN ANTIBIOTIC WILL BE INCORPORATED INTO THE BIODEGRADABLE POLYMER AND WILL BE SLOWLY RELEASED INTO THE WOUND BOTH TO ELIMINATE EXISTING INFECTION AND TO PREVENT LATER INFECTION. ...

HIGH RESOLUTION BOREHOLE-TO-BOREHOLE SEISMIC TOMOGRAPHY CAN PROVIDE MUCH OF THE INFORMATION NEEDED TO IDENTIFY SUBTLE OIL RESERVOIR HETEROGENEITIES. TO DATE, MUCH OF THE HIGH RESOLUTION CROSS-WELL RESEARCH HAS INVOLVED THE USE OF FLUID-COUPLED PIEZOELECTRIC SEISMIC SOURCES. HOWEVER, IN PRACTICAL COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS OF FLUID-COUPLED SOURCES, SOME CONSIDERATION MUST BE GIVEN TO DEPLOYING THE SOU ...

HIGH RESOLUTION BOREHOLE-TO-BOREHOLE SEISMIC TOMOGRAPHY CAN PROVIDE MUCH OF THE INFORMATION NEEDED TO IDENTIFY SUBTLE RESERVOIR HETEROGENEITIES THUS ALLOWING STRATEGIES PLACEMENTOF PRODUCTION WELLS. HIGH RESOLUTION SEISMIC TECHNIQUES ARE IDEALLY SUITED TO HARD ROCK APPLICATIONS WHERE FORMATIONVELOCITIES EXCEED 10,000 FEET PER SECOND. HOWEVER, TO DATE,THE ACQUISITION OF HIGH FREQUENCY TOMOGRAPHIC D ...

MILLITECH PROPOSES TO DESIGN A SENSOR TO BE USED FOR SATELLITE BORNE OBSERVATIONS OF PRECIPITATION, SEA SURFACE, AND ATMOSPHERIC SOUNDINGS. THIS SENSOR WILL COMPRISE A COMMON APERTURE ANTENNA AND A GAUSSIAN OPTICS FREQUENCY MULTIPLEXER WHICH WILL BE USED WITH LOW NOISE RECEIVERS IN THE FUTURE. THE USER WILL BE ABLE TO SCAN IN TWO ORTHO-GONAL POLARIZATIONS OVER ONE DECADE OF FREQUENCY AT BOTH MICRO ...

THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL NEED FOR NEW SENSORS WHICH MEASURE ABSOLUTE DISTANCE FOR APPLICATIONS IN ROBOTIC POSITIONING, MACHINE VISION, AUTOMATIC INSPECTION AND GAUGING. WITH ITS ABILITY TO MEASURE NON-CONTINUOUS CHANGES IN POSITION, THE SENSOR COULD PROVIDE FEEDBACK MEASUREMENTS FOR CLOSED LOOP POSITION CONTROL FOR ROBOTS, CMMS AND MACHINE TOOLS. FOR AUTOMATIC INSPECTION, A HIGHLY ACCURATE DISTANCE ME ...
