N/A

THE PROBLEM OF MULTICHANNEL SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION AND DETECTION O DESIRED SIHNAL INFORMATION IN THE CHANNEL WILL BE ADDRESSED BASED ON TECHNIQUES THAT UTILIZE CHANNEL OUTPUT DATA DIRECTLY, WITHOUT THE REQUIREMENT TO ESTIMATE CHANNEL OUTPUT CORRELATION MATRICES. A MODEL-BASED APPROACH IS PROPOSED FOR MULTICHANNEL SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION AND DETECTION, WHERE THE PARAMETERS OF A STATE-SPACE MODEL ARE I ...

N/A

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO SECURE FUNDING FOR THE BUILDING AND INITIAL TESTING OF A CERAMIC BRUSH SEAL. THE TECHNICAL OBJECTIVES OF THE PROPOSED WORK ARE TO IDENTIFY APPROPRIATE CERAMIC MATERIALS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF BRUSH SEALS, DEMONSTRATE THAT A CERAMIC BRUSH SEAL CAN BE BUILT AND TO TEST THE INTEGRITY OF THE CERAMIC SEAL. THE CERAMIC INDUSTRY WILL BE CALLED UPON TO PROVIDE BOTH CERAM ...

UBC, INC., AN ENGINEERING FIRM PERFORMING RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, AND LIMITED PRODUCTION OF ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY OVER THE ENTIRE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM, SPECIALIZING IN MILLIMETER WAVE AND INFRARED SENSORS, PROPOSES AN SBIR PROGRAM TO PROVIDE DESIGN, SUPPORTING ANALYSIS AND BRASS-BOARD DEVELOPMENT LEADING TO A W-BAND POLARIZATION DIVERSE FOUR PLANE MONOPULSE RADAR WITH DYNAMICALLY ADJUSTABLE POLAR ...

A unique dual polarized monopulse sensor configuration providing full compatibility with MLRS, Longbow, but also providing a means of extending polarimetry to low cost systems without sacrificing performance, is utilized to propose a nearly universal sensor head appropriate to both low and high performance systems. Extremenly high levels of transmit-to-receive isolation are achieved while eliminat ...

An eight month study is proposed on the fundamentals of a new system of subsurface barrier called Hydrodynamic Enhanced Barrier System (HEBS). The mechanism of HEBS is that it can, via oscillatory motion of working fluids or steady state circulating flow, remove contaminants from groundwater accumulated in a subsurface collector at rates exceeding that of pure molecular dispersion by several order ...

N/A

THE CURRENT REFRIGERANTS USED IN THE VAPOR CYCLE SYSTEMS ARE SCHEDULED TO BE PHASED OUT AND REPLACED WITH REFRIGERANTS THAT ARE ENVIRONMENTALLY LESS HAZARDOUS. THESE REFRIGERANTS ARE BEING DEVELOPED TO REPLACE THOSE CURRENTLY EMPLOYED IN RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS AND WILL ALSO FIND USE IN MILITARY APPLICATIONS. IN MOST REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS SOME TYPE OF COMPRESSOR OR PUMP IS REQUIRED ...
