Not Available Alameda Applied Sciences Corporation (AASC) proposes to develop and commercialize a low-cost, reliable, radiation hardened and rugged diamond laser profiler for near UV to x-ray radiation. This instrument can be inserted directly into a high power laser beam to measure the power distribution inside the beam with high spatial and temporal resolution. During Phase I AASC proposes a pr ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A key issue for most implantable micromachined sensor concepts being developed in the Neural Prosthetics Program (NPP) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is how they are to be interconnected with percutaneous connections or implanted telemetry units. A robust, ultrafine, microribbon interconnect may enable many ...

"The development of applique technology as an alternative to current paint coating systems is important to all aircraft manufacturers and end users, especially th eend users in the military. This is due to the tremendous savings that may be realized viathe elimination of hazardous solvents, materials and by-products currently required for application, maintenance, removal, and repair of current p ...

"Current aircraft coating systems contain large amounts of VOC's, HAP's, and heavy metals, such as methylene chloride, methyl ethyl ketone, and chromium compounds. These chemicals pose a serious threat to the environment and the health of workers ataircraft maintenance depots. In order to address these problems, both Military and Commercial aircraft programs have been tasked over the last decade ...

This project proposes to develop an advanced non-leaching antifouling peel and stick appliqu¿ coating system. This system will simultaneously provide unique antifouling properties with outstanding corrosion protection. The development of this coatingsystem will center on the application of novel infusion nanotechnology previously developed at Integument Technologies, Inc. Integument's nano-infus ...

The use of battlefield camouflage is beyond a doubt an effective countermeasure against human vision and aided vision target acquisition systems. Effective camouflage is such a valuable countermeasure because it is passive and hence continuously effective,within a given environment. However, optimal camouflage effectiveness requires that the camouflage pattern (i.e., color and spatial design) be ...

Integument will utilize a unique nanoinfusion technology that allows us to effectively coat Carbon Nanotubes (CNT's)with various environmentally benign corrosion inhibitors. In addition, Integument Technologies will team with Boyce Components, in order to demonstrate a proprietary mixing technology that allows us to effectively blend CNT's Carbon Fibers and Carbon platelets into various ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project addresses the deteriorating situation with respect to our nation?s infrastructure system, particularly bridges. A solution is critically needed to monitor the structural integrity of such systems in order to identify potential failures ? such as the Minneapolis I-35W Bridge collapse ? before they occur. Existing solutions for structural st ...
