This Phase I Small Business Technology Transfer program will simulate and demonstrate the feasibility of a Spin-torque microwave diode spectrograph for real-time determination and monitoring of incident microwave signals. The microwave detection will be performed by a bandwidth encompassing parallel array of nano-patterned magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs). When an ac current of microwave frequency ...

The main objective of this Phase II proposal is to optimize a silk-derived protein therapeutic fraction (SDP-TF) for use in an ophthalmic formulation to enhance corneal wound healing post traumatic injury by simultaneously inhibiting inflammation and stimulating epithelium regeneration, which are two key factors in optimizing full visual recovery. To accomplish this, this proposal sets out to comp ...

System vulnerabilities are being actively exploited in DoD networks and pose a high risk to Army Information Systems (IS). The Army is seeking a patch management system capable of providing automated and continuous Information Assurance (IA) patches for fielded, tactical systems, while providing a remote capability for auditing and assessing system vulnerability. Architecture Technology Corp (ATCo ...

During covert operations, the U.S. Army may be required to breach a concrete structure using a controlled explosion. When choosing the most effective charge size and placement, it is vital to perform a rapid field assessment of the material and structural properties of the target structure. However, high strength concrete materials (such as Ultra-High Performance Concrete), including steel fiber r ...

Army rotorcrafts are required to operate in extreme situations such as loss of lubrication to the drive systems. Current designs allow for 30 minutes of operation at 50% power, but the Army has a need to improve aircraft survivability beyond this threshold. Phygen Coatings has developed a unique, patented technology for surface improvement of industrial tooling and precision machine components. In ...

ABSTRACT: Proposed is the development of an advanced solid state neutron spectrometer (NeuKopis) with directional resolve, building from prototype instruments that have demonstrated the art-of-the-possible. The intrinsic neutron detection efficiency of the refined BENEFITS: Low power, solid state, compact, rugged, economical, portable

SIFT, with support from Drs. Michael Goodrich and Eric Mercer of Brigham Young University, proposes to develop THREADS (Teams of Humans and Robots, Evaluation Architecture Design and Systemization) as a framework and tool to support the Test and Evaluatio

Applied Colloids has developed a simple nanotechnology technique with which to provide a low coefficient of friction on the interacting surfaces of gears and other interacting machinery. This technology would widen the window with which a rotorcraft woul

Eno River Technologies and Duke University propose to develop Hybrid Boolean Network (HBN) technology for ultrafast physical random number generation. HBNs are circuits composed partly of unclocked logic elements that exhibit chaotic dynamics and clocked elements that provide readout and synchronization to the system bus. It is hypothesized that the chaotic elements amplify electronic noise in t ...

Utilizing a novel solid/gas source CVD reactor designed for the growth of large area (substrates up to 4"in diameter) MoS2 single layer (SL) and multiple layer (ML) films, and leveraging already demonstrated capabilities in the growth and fabrication of 2D-FETs based on graphene and WSe2, we are proposing the growth, fabrication and testing of MoS2-based RF FETs. Utilizing a novel and optimized s ...
