N/A

THE U.S. ARMY'S SMALL CALIBER AMMUNITION MODERNIZATION PROGRAM (SCAMP) CARTRIDGE BRASS (70/30) CUP INSPECTION IS CURRENTLY A MANUAL PROCESS THAT IS BASED ON THE DIMENSIONAL AND HARDNESS (OR GRAIN SIZE( MEASUREMENTS OF SAMPLES FROM EACH CUP LOT. IN THIS PROPOSED WORK, TESTING WITH LABORATORY MOCKUPS WOULD EVALUATE THE MOST PROMISING SENSING TECHNIQUES FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF CUP DIMENSIONS AND HARDN ...

RAMP CORPORATION PROPOSES TO ACCOMPLISH PERFORMANCE EVALUATION ON MICROCOMPUTER BASED EXPERT SYSTEMS FOR THE PURPOSE OF SELECTING A SYSTEM APPROPRIATE FOR USE IN FEDERAL CONTRACT MANAGEMENT SUPPORT. THE PROJECT OUTPUTS WILL BE A DEMONSTRATION MODULE FOCUSED ON CONTRACT CHANGES AND A FINAL REPORT WHICH DOCUMENTS THE SELECTION PROCESS AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION CRITERIA UTILIZED IN THE EFFORT. THE E ...

THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF A LOW COST MOBILE ROBOT WILL BE PREPARED UTILIZING PROVEN AND EXISTING TECHNOLOGY AND COMPONENT. REQUIREMENTS WILL BE ESTABLISHED BY SURVEYING POTENTIAL EDUCATIONAL AND LABORATORY USERS. ALTERNATE MODES OF MOBILITY WILL BE EVALUATED. MODULARITY AND INTERFACES WILL BE DEFINED FOR A VARIETY OF ADD-ON SENSORS INCLUDING VISION, SOUND, SONAR, HEAT AND MANIPULATIONS. ON-BOARD LO ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP A VACCINE DELIVERY SYSTEM WHICH WILL STIMULATE, RAPIDLY, A STATE OF NON-SPECIFIC PROTECTION WHILE IT ENHANCES THE SPECIFIC IMMUNE RESPONSE TO THE VACCINE AND SHORTENS THE INDUCTION PERIOD FOR DEVELOPMENT OF SPECIFIC IMMUNITY. THIS WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED BY PREPARING THE VACCINE IN AN OILIN-WATER EMULSION THAT CONTAINS NON-TOXIC IMMUNOSTIMULATORS OF MICROBI ...

STRUCTURAL LATCH MECHANISM CONCEPTS WILL BE DEVELOPED TO BE USED ON FUTURE FIGHTER AIRCRAFT FOR INTERFACING THE CREW ESCAPE CAPSULE WITH THE AIRFRAME. THE F-111 ESCAPE CAPSULE DESIGN WILL AID IN THE GENERATION AND VALIDATION OF PRELIMINARY DESIGN REQUIREMENTS. THREE PHILOSOPHIES WILL BE CONSIDERED IN DEVELOPING THE DESIGN CONCEPTS. ONE WILL MAXIMIZE THE LOAD DISTRIBUTION BETWEEN THE TWO STRUCTURES ...

N/A

THIS PROJECT PROPOSES TO CONDUCT A LIMITED NUMBER OF MUCK FLOW EXPERIMENTS USING A CONTROLLED MUCK MATERIAL AND A SPECIALLY FABRICATED CHUTE SYSTEM. THE PROJECT WILL ATTEMPT TO DETERMINE HOW SOME OF THE FLOW FACTORS INTERACT WITH ONE ANOTHER TO INFLUENCE MUCK FLOW RATE. MEASUREMENTS OF MASS FLOW RATE IN TERMS OF THE RATE OF MUCK ACCUMULATION AT THE END OF THE CHUTE WILL BE MADE FOR 2 CHUTE ANGLES ...
