Pattern Recognition for Aircraft Maintainer Troubleshooting
SBC: DIGILORE, INC. Topic: AF05263Proposed work addresses the stated objective "Intelligently decipher text strings and determine when one Work Unit Code is related to a National Stock Number" while also advancing toward twin higher goals: more productive maintenance and better control of part inventories. Tasks include (1) Identification of some indentured parts, (2) Integration of some maintenance databases, (3) Correlation of W ...

Shear Stress Sensor Using Shape Memory Films
SBC: DOMINCA LLC Topic: AF03T010There is a need for a low profile, simple, accurate, localized, responsive sensor to measure shear stress in fluid flow. The unusual properties of shape memory alloys, and of Ni2MnGa in particular, suggest they could be sensing elements for shear. In recent years, single crystal films of Ni2MnGa have been grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE). Once released from their substrate, these films hav ...

Blast Resistant Armor Appliqués
SBC: DOMINCA LLC Topic: A05030Armors that provide protection against blast do so through a number of mechanisms. Simple elastic mechanisms include reflection of the blast wave because of the armor's high impedance relative to air, and distribution of energy over a large area by wave propagation through the armor. Non-linear effects, such as plasticity and damage evolution, enhance the armor's effectiveness by dissipating mec ...

Computer-Adaptive Assessment of Temperament to Support Personnel Selection and Classification Decisions
SBC: DRASGOW CONSULTING GROUP LLC Topic: A04029We intend to use our recently developed IRT model for scoring multidimensional pairwise preference items as the basis for a computerized adaptive test (CAT) that is designed to be fake resistant. The items will consist primarily of pairs of personality statements, on different dimensions, which are similar in social desiriability. A respondent's task will be to choose the statement in each pair ...

High Performance Longwave Infrared (LWIR) HgCdTe on Silicon
SBC: EPIR TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: A04119It is critical in the field on infrared imaging to reduce array costs and simultaneously improve their performance. We propose to achieve both. The use of long wavelength infrared HgCdTe grown on Si substrates will reduce the array costs, increase its mechanical strength and permit the fabrication of larger area arrays than present-day technology based on bulk CdZnTe substrates. Performance enhanc ...

Advanced High Operating Temperature Mid-Wave Infrared Sensors
SBC: EPIR TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: A05052High sensitivity HgCdTe infrared arrays operating at 77K can now be tailored in a wide range of wavelengths. However, the cooling requirements make them bulky and unsuitable for many DOD applications. We propose two novel approaches to increase their operating temperature. In the first approach, we will demonstrate p-d-n equilibrium HgCdTe detectors. Because of the lack of symmetry between the va ...

High Performance Longwave Infrared (LWIR) HgCdTe on Silicon
SBC: EPIR TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: A04119The use of Si-based composite substrates for HgCdTe infrared focal plane arrays holds the promise of improved resolution, greater robustness and lower cost as compared to arrays that employ the present-day standard CdZnTe substrates. The principal challenge associated with the use of Si-based substrates is the presence of dislocations, created by the large lattice mismatch, that thread into the Hg ...

Thermoelectrically Cooled MWIR Avalanche Photodiodes on Silicon Substrates
SBC: EPIR TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: AF04T021Modern Air Force weapon systems need to detect, recognize and track a variety of targets under a wide spectrum of atmospheric conditions. Recent technology developments are paving the way toward imaging optical radars with wavelengths in MWIR range for these applications. The best suited detectors for optical radars are the avalanche photodiodes (APDs) due to their high gain-bandwidth characterist ...

Development of Low Stress Ohmic Contacts to HgCdTe
SBC: EPIR TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: A05099The problem to be solved in the proposed work is that the deposition of the usual In and Au metal contacts on HgCdTe-based IR detectors creates additional stress in the HgCdTe immediately below the contacts, This stress has been observed to getter threading dislocations, which, in turn, creates misfit dislocation segments just below the detector surface and parallel to the surface, in the active a ...

Thermoelectric Cooling of Photodetector Arrays with HgCdTe-based Superlattices
SBC: EPIR TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: A05T013The most challenging degrading effect on current state-of-the-art focal plane arrays is caused by the random spatial and temporal photoresponse nonuniformity of the pixels. We propose a major improvement by controlling the temperature of individual pixels with individual thermoelectric coolers. We will use HgxCd1-xTe/HgyCd1-yTe superlattices (SLs) as the thermoelectric material. Two major benefits ...
