CHLOROFLUOROCARBONS (CFC) AND HALONS HAVE GREAT UTILITY AS REFRIGERANTS, FIRE SUPPRESSANTS, CLEANING AGENTS, SOLVENTS, PROPELLANTS AND CONSTITUENTS OF BLOWN FOAMS. HOWEVER, BECAUSE THEY POSE A SERIOUS THREAT TO THE STRATOSPHERIC OZONE LAYER THEY MUST BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE. MOREOVER, CURRENT INVENTORIES OF THESE COMPOUNDS IN STORAGE AND IN CONTAMINATED SITES MUST BE EFFICIENTLY CONVERTED TO ENVIR ...

A high throughput wireless link is needed by the Air Force Research laboratory in order to realize immersive training simulations with full user mobility. MaXentric is implementing a 60 GHz communication link to provide the high throughput that the Air Force is seeking. Phase I work addressed the design of key segments in the communication link, which included selection of a network backbone, a su ...

Compact arrays of ultra-high-speed analog laser sources or lasers integrated with modulators are needed for LADAR sensors and scene generation. Multiplex, Inc., UC Berkeley and UCSD propose a novel Monolithic Injection-Locked Analog Transmitter Array (MILATA) for wide frequency range (>2GHz) operation with 60 dB to 72 dB optical extinction ratio. MILATA is a versatile technology platform that is b ...

This SBIR Phase II proposal to DOD SOCOM requests $749,985.49 of support for Policell Technologies, Inc. to design and develop a safe rechargeable battery replacement for the Lithium BA-5590 battery to eliminate hazards resulting from water exposure under SOCOM specific missions. This proposal responds to SBIR Topic Number 03-013“Battery Modulation for Communication Equipment”. In addition, a ...

There is the need for new diagnostic instrumentation capable of detailed hypersonic flow field characterization with spatial resolution of order 1 mm3 and temporal bandwidth of order MHz. In this proposal Princeton Scientific Instruments, in collaboration with the Ohio State University Gas Dynamics and Turbulence Laboratory, offers a novel solution based on PSI's recently developed Ultra High Fra ...

Phase I of this project established the feasibility of constructing a software-based content routing engine to handle information-intensive applications within the Air Force's Joint Battlespace Infosphere (JBI). Experimental results demonstrated that thisproof-of-concept implementation achieves wire-speed (i.e. 100 Mbps) delivery using off-the-shelf computer servers. Our results outperformed benc ...

In this STTR effort, Structured Materials Industries, Inc. (SMI), in collaboration with our academic and industrial partners will design, develop, and demonstrate a more efficient and compact, silicon optical modulator based on nanoscale photonic structures that is completely compatible with standard CMOS processing. The structures developed will form the building blocks for a family of devices b ...

In response to OSD/AF SBIR Topic No. OSD06-EP7, we propose to develop a novel and simple approach to packaging high-temperature and high-power SiC modules. The approach, simple to implement and suitable for auto-processing, is proposed to address the problems of (i) the mechanical stress induced degradations such as peeling, cracking, voiding and fracturing due to mismatch of material coefficients ...

The main objective will be to optimize the coating formulations that were developed and tested during the Phase I program. Formulations, ingredient concentrations, application and curing methods will be fine tuned in the Phase II program. Among teststo be conducted will be moisture barrier, adhesion, abrasion, chemical resistance, thermal stability, thermal coefficient of expansion, thermal c ...
