This SBIR project research will lead to development of revolutionary miniature application specific modules based on the exciting Advanced Instrument Controller (AIC) technology being developed for the Joint Strike Fighter prognostics and health management team. This project will perform research and prototype development leading to a revolutionary new breed of ultra-reliable, multi-purpose, reco ...

More than half of DOD contaminated sites will require long-term environmental monitoring. Using traditional methods, the cost of monitoring could exceed the cost of remediation. We propose to integrate E-SMART with commercially available, in situ, real-time, remote, environmental sensors capable of detecting BTEX, oxygen, hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, and other VOC compounds in vapor and w ...

Future military and commercial space systems require increased computing resources including volatile random access memory. COTS memory devices hold significant density advantages over radiation hardened memory devices. However, the space environment, especially high energy ions, make the implementation of COTS hardware difficult and this will continue to worsen as COTS memory densities continue t ...

We propose to develop a simulation system that integrates CAD/CAM/CAT tools into a Virtual Manufacturing Environment, and to demonstrate the proof of concept. The proposed system will be based on the demonstrated functionality of Multi-dimensional, user-oriented Synthetic Environment, UuSE (pronounced "muse'). Developed at Sandia National Laboratories by UuSE Technologies, Inc. (principals a ...

Sensors, capacitors, and conducting features such as resistors and capacitors on circuit boards are produced from metal and ceramic powders 1-12 These powders are manufactured by liquid phase precipitation routes which often start with reduction of metal salts or by solid-state routes where solid reactants are mixed, heated and then milled. The solid-state processing is generally repeated several ...

Wireless portable communications is a multi-billion dollar industry that demands ever-faster and smaller cellular devices. The heart of theses devices is the multi-chip module (MCM) which connects the electrical communication components to another, and governs both the speed of communication signals between the components and the size of the portable device. Futrure generations of portable devices ...

Separation of trace quantities of species from gas and liquid streams is a major problem for both defense and commercial applications. The motivation for removal varies greatly in different applications. Examples include; safety (gas masks and protective clothing in chemical warfare and hazardous industrial environments), higher semiconductor yields (particularly for deep UV lithography), drinki ...

Technologies for parallel and distributed computation are at the forefront of software research. Vulnerability assessment studies model the interaction of a sortie - perhaps using several weapons - with a target. A single vulnerability assessment study requires the results from lhundres or thousands of independent attack scenarios wun with varying input parameters. Vulnerability assessments can be ...
