Orthogonal Chip Based Electronic Sensors for Chemical Agents
SBC: SEACOAST SCIENCE, INC. Topic: AF08T015Recent years have seen a shift in threats to US national security. Today increasing focus for national security is management of terrorist activities. Deliberately exposing a civilian population to chemicals and explosives to cause harm represents a looming terrorist threat. Early detection and identification is a difficult but essential element to minimizing the threat. The Seacoast Science/U ...

Novel Algorithm/Hardware Partnerships for Real-Time Nonlinear Control
SBC: STOCHASTECH CORPORATION Topic: AF09BT06The real-time implementation of controls in nonlinear systems remains one of the great challenges in applying advanced control technology. Often, linearization around a set point is the only practical approach, and many controllers implemented in hardware systems are simple PID feedback mechanisms. To apply Pontryagin’s principle or Bellman’s equation using conventional hardware and algorith ...

Robust Model for Behavior of Complex Materials during Spin Testing
SBC: SYMPLECTIC ENGINEERING CORP Topic: AF08T013The objective of this project is to develop a practical finite element-based simulation of spin-pit tests of disks. The performance of disks in spin-pit tests critically depends on localized effects, such as residual stresses, dislocations, and microstructure gradients. Therefore, a two-scale modeling approach is adopted. At the global-scale, the disk is represented by means of finite elements wit ...

Plasmon Induced Photoelectrochemistry for artificial photosynthesis
SBC: Tanner Research, Inc. Topic: AF09BT39The Air Force has a strategic need for a fuel source that is renewable (and which does not rely on foreign petroleum sources). Several approaches to a renewable fuel source have been investigated; with “artificial photosynthesis” being one example. At its core, the photosynthesis reaction is a photoinduced charge separation reaction with light being concentrated by antenna complexes onto a c ...

Frequency agile THz detectors for multiplicative mixing
SBC: Tanner Research, Inc. Topic: AF08BT26ABSTRACT: A system that operates at room temperature and that could scan for concealed weapons from standoff distances of >10 m would be a tremendous asset for US military homeland security personnel worldwide. THz imaging can, potentially, be used for this application, but it requires the development of a new class of THz detectors whereby the signal to noise ratios are improved significantly. ...

Advanced High Power Solid-State Burst Generator
SBC: NESS ENGINEERING, INC. Topic: AF09BT14Recent advances in dielectric and magnetic materials have spurred renewed interest in the field of solid state pulse and RF burst generation using Non-Linear Transmission Lines (NLTL) . The NLTL approach to HPM and UWB generation eliminates the need for an electron beam, vacuum system and magnets required in conventional HPM sources. Furthermore, the novel waveforms of NLTL generated pulses promi ...
