NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY: The effective control of weeds is one of the most important and costly issues in commercial agriculture. Practically all weed control is accomplished by mechanical means (cultivation) or broadcast spraying of herbicides. Global positioning systems, remote sensing and variable-rate technology have been used for site-specific herbicide application. The anticipated results will ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this research program is to expand an innovative brightfield digital microscope technology to include automation and high resolution fluorescence imaging using extremely low excitation power on the sample. Unique features include resolution limited by the microscope objective, not the electronics, instantaneous 3x optical zoom with constant focus ...

73071S03-I Existing and planned neutron facilities, such as the Spallation Neutron Source, generate pulses of cold neutrons for materials research. The efficiency of the beam line components, which convert the fast neutrons to a cold neutron beam, determines the usefulness of the facility. Existing solid methane moderators have a high efficiency, but they can¿t be scaled to work on planned hig ...

This SBIR Phase I project builds upon Digital Optics Corporation's experience in the design, fabrication, and integration of micro-optics with lasers, detectors, and fibers to provide an innovative multiplexing approach for fly-by-light (FBL), fiber-basedcontrol of airborne actuator systems. This work will be performed in partnership with Optical Crosslinks and HR Textron.The proposed method uses ...

The objective of this proposal is to determine the feasibility of using an Expendable Aerial Delivery System (EADS) to provide the United States Armed Forces long-range airdrop supply and sustainment during operations across the spectrum of military andcivil operations. DropMaster, Inc. is proposing a solution that is cheaper, simpler, and more effective than the current method of air delivery. ...

NASA is interested in the development of highly advanced systems, subsystems and components to enable future robotic and manned missions. A key requirement for these challenging missions will be the development of high efficiency power conversion systems with increased power density. Ecotera Energy proposes an innovative gas turbine improvement, the Thermochemical Energy Conversion (TEC) engine, w ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Progression of diabetic foot ulcers is the leading cause of lower limb amputations in the U.S. More than 800,000 foot ulcers are treated annually with progression to more than 86,000 amputations each year. Between 1/4 to 1/2 of the $ 27.3 billion in direct diabetes in-patient medical expenses is used for the treatment of foot ulcers. There is clearly a si ...
