50521-98-I Sharp Bandpass AlGaN p-i-n Photodiode Detectors for Ultraviolet B Irradiance Measurements--SVT Associates, Inc., 7620 Executive Drive, , Eden Prairie, MN 55344-3677; (612) 934-2100 Dr. Jody J. Klaassen, Principal Investigator Dr. Peter P. Chow, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG02-98ER82683 Amount: $74,895 Solar radiation in the ultraviolet B (280-320 nm) band is attenuated by ozo ...

This proposal addresses the significant need for high power and high temperature transistors. A major innovation is needed to produce power devices which can operate at high temperatures (400 ¿C), withstand high voltages (> 500 V) and operate at high current levels without special cooling. SVT Associates proposes to meet this need with a heterojunction bipolar junction transistor (HBT) fabricat ...

50371-98-I AIGaN Ultraviolet Light Emitting Diodes for Fiber Optic Sensors--SVT Associates, Inc., 7620 Executive Drive, Eden Prairie, MN 55344-3677; (612) 934-2100 Dr. Jody J. Klassen, Principal Investigator Dr. Peter P. Chow, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG02-98ER82685 Amount: $74,894 This project addresses the development of low cost, ultraviolet light emitting diodes for application i ...

The Theseus Logic/SUNY-Stony Brook team is proposing to develop, demonstrate and commercialize Rapid Single Flux Quantum (RSFQ) circuit designed using NULL Convention Logic (NCL). Phase I of this program will demonstrate, by simulation and modeling, the feasibility of implementing logic gate structures in RSFQ technology which can exploi the effective delay insensitivity of NCL. In Phase II the te ...

The technical problem to be addressed is that of designing a transmit/recieve module based on a basic GaAs MMIC chip set. Emphasis will be placed on simplicity toward the goal of a low-cost product. To reduce cost, two approaches will be considered. One is to simplify the RF circuitry and packaging as much as possible while maintaining performance requirements. Two is to apply batch processing ...

This proposal responds to the solicitation BMDO 98-008 on Survivability Technology where it states that a key ballistic defense area is sensor subsystems, the components of which (focal plane arrays, readout electronics, and preprocessing) must survive the laser, nuclear, IR, and natural environments. The trend in microelectronics and photonics devices is toward higher levels of integration densit ...

The objective of this research effort is to design a mobile robotic platform, and the related operator interfaces required for remote operation, which enhance a soldier's abilities to accomplish mission goals. This system will be modular in design, scaleable, low cost and rugged. The size and weight of these platforms will range form a meter long and 200 pounds, to a few centimeters long and abo ...

50143-98-I Automatic LAN Problem Diagnosis and Repair--Architecture Technology Corporation, P.O. Box 24344, Minneapolis, MN 55424-0344; (612) 935-2035 Mr. Jordan C. Bonney, Principal Investigator Dr. Kenneth J. Thurber, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG02-98ER82532 Amount: $74,302 Existing network-management tools can capture network traffic and display trends to network administrators, bu ...

Superior information over one's adversary allows control of the battlespace, and ultimately provides opportunities to tales advantage of me adversary's vulnerability. C4I planning is critical to shape and control the pace and phasing of battlespace engagements, and requires direct access to battlespace information in order to utilize it effectively. Effective C4I planning requires the ability to ...

Current methods of software deployment for shipboard computing assets are slow and exceedingly expensive. In the past, the lack of low-cost, global, high-bandwidth digital communications mandated the manual transportation of physical media to individual ships. With the emergence of the Global Broadcast Service (GBS), there is an opportunity to realize substantial cost savings by automating the so ...
