The current market for fast switching frequency sythesizers is growing rapidly. Most synthesizers available today will not meet the stringent requirements for switching quickly, providing spectrally pure RF outputs and minimizing physical size and cost. As part of a current SBIR program, S.T. Research has developed a wideband, fast switching synthesizer, based on the use of broadband phase-locke ...

The leading staff of our company has gained experience, over decades in producing and processing extremely fine metal fibers of high tensile strength and considerable L/D. One of these processes is the fabrication of sturdy networks, containing interconnected high strength metalfibers. According to a patented technique; we infiltrate into the metallic network plastic material, gaining homogenous d ...

The subject SBIr topic requires design development of a high torque density electric traction motor. The proposed concept is for a direct drive traction motor with a maximum torque capacity of approximately 3840 ft-lbs., which matches the allowed motor volume of 2.4 ft(3) to result in torque density of 1600 ft.-lbs./ft(3). The new concept has features intended to overcome limitations in present i ...

OUR FIRM HAS UNIQUE EXPERIENCE IN CHARACTERIZING AND CLASSIFYING PATTERNS. OUR PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY ORIGINATED MORE THAN TWENTY YEARS AGO IN PERCEPTRON THEORY, AND WE HAVE BEEN QUIETY AND SUCCESSFULLY APPLYING IT FOR YEARS. THE EMERGING NEURAL NETWORK TECHNOLOGY PROMISES IN HARDWARE THINGS WE HAVE BEEN DOING IN SOFTWARE FOR A LONG TIME, AND OUR ENGINES CAPTURE SOME OF THESE THINGS. WE WOULD LIKE ...

Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay: Xenopus (FETAX) is a 96-h, whole-embryo bioassay designed to detect potential developmental toxicants. The primary goal of this research is to improve the predictability and increase the overall utility of FETAX as a screen for developmental toxicants that pose a hazard to human health. Since Xenopus laevis embryos lack mixed-fliriction oxidase metabolism (cytoch ...

This exploratory development program is a study of existing means of attaching hardware to composite materials in general. Special attention for mounting racks, brackets, modular armor and other types of equipment and hardware on combat and tactical vehicle will be provided. These vehicles use all types and shapes of composite structure including: solid laminates, thin wall composites, pultrusion, ...

The makeup and location of hostile forces can be identified for battlefield surveillance or target acquisition by deploying a network of autonomous acoustic sensors. Each sensor would listen for acoustic emissions from ground vehicle traffic. Such emissions would then be analyzed by pattern recognition algorithms to determine the presence of acoustic signatures characteristic of potentially host ...
