High-speed large-format solid state imaging devices have been used for several years in a variety of scientific, industrial, and consumer applications. As the format size increases, however, the problem of post-capture processing becomes significantly larger, not only in terms of raw memory required but also in terms of processor throughput. Ideally, an imager capable of performing significant p ...

Digital imaging has become more widespread with the advent of digital video and still cameras, Special effects using digital compositing techniques, and advanced optical processing applications. With this spread of digital imaging has come a requirement for higher-resolution systems capable of competing with standard halide film technologies. It has been estimated that a typical 35mm.modern colo ...

The subject SBIr topic requires design development of a high torque density electric traction motor. The proposed concept is for a direct drive traction motor with a maximum torque capacity of approximately 3840 ft-lbs., which matches the allowed motor volume of 2.4 ft(3) to result in torque density of 1600 ft.-lbs./ft(3). The new concept has features intended to overcome limitations in present i ...

Reference data abstracted from literature sources, such as NIST and JANAF, as well as original research publications, will be used in the construction of data-sets. These data-sets will be suitable for use in parameterizing elements at the AM1 level, and, with appropriate modification, for parameterizing elements for other semiempirical methods. As several elements in Groups III, V, and VI have al ...

Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay: Xenopus (FETAX) is a 96-h, whole-embryo bioassay designed to detect potential developmental toxicants. The primary goal of this research is to improve the predictability and increase the overall utility of FETAX as a screen for developmental toxicants that pose a hazard to human health. Since Xenopus laevis embryos lack mixed-fliriction oxidase metabolism (cytoch ...

The proposed Phase I project is the design and development of a wireless comprehensive sensor system for structural health assessment and monitoring. The final goal will be a system consisting of sensor modules or packages which can be permanently placed at the selected critical locations within a structure and which are powered and communicate wirelessly with a master station. The sensor module ...

The application of advanced barrel coatings to provide extended erosion and wear life with high performance ammunition for existing and proposed weapons systems has been limited by the available process technologies capable of applying the required/desired coatings. Electroplating, Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) have all been attempted with varying degrees of ...

Systems & Processes Engineering Corporation (SPEC) proposes to develop a Waveform Agile Signal Processor (WASP) to support the next generation of fuzing systems and subsystems. WASP is designed to~provide high performance, waveform agile, adaptive signal processing for a variety of RF and optical fuze sensors. WASP is designed to support pulsed time domain, frequency domain, phase, direct sequen ...

Optimization of antibody affinity and specificity is of paramount importance to the military for the development of biological warfare agent receptors and vaccine components. Exhaustive saturation mutagenesis of the complete antigen binding site for such optimization must typically involve the construction and characterization of several hundred mutants. Using conventional mutagenesis, the expen ...
