In this Phase II STTR effort PSI will team with University of Delaware to develop advanced electro-optic (EO) sensing module that are capable of efficiently up-converting millimeter-wave (mmW) signal into optical sidebands for low-cost passive mmW imaging applications. Conversion efficiency of the modulators will be significantly enhanced by leveraging thin-film Lithium niobate on insulator (TFLNO ...

The STTR effort will evaluate an aligned, short carbon fiber (CF) material called Tailorable Universal Feedstock for Forming (TuFF) for forming of complex geometry preforms, assess process and material challenges and demonstrate mechanical properties using Wet Compression Molding. TuFF material has demonstrated highly aligned, high fiber volume fraction (~50‐60%) components with full continuous ...

ANP Technologies, Inc. (ANP) previously served as the Research and Development laboratory for the Joint Service Agent Water Monitor (JSAWM) program. During this period, ANP has developed highly sensitive assays for the point detection of biological warfare agents and environmental contaminants in water borne samples in both single target (two-line) and multiplexed (multiple target) formats. Becau ...

Sponsored by NAVAIR, Accudyne Systems completed a Phase 1 SBIR program, developing an equipment and process concept for cost-effective fabrication of composite rotary wing main rotor blade spars. The CH-53K spar was the study focus. The recommended work cell concept combines automated tape placement, woven fabric placement, and pick and place of 45° parallelograms to layup plies, then debulk and ...

Classifying and marking documents in the Department of Defense is largely a manual process. Manual classification is challenging, time-consuming, resource-intensive, and sometimes inconsistent. Recent advancements in AI and large language models (LLMs) ar

Accidentally released lubricant into water bodies from hydropower production turbines and other marine (cruises, ships) applications challenges safe water recycling and management, and has invited a number of lawsuits.According to the Environmental Protection Agency, up to 16 million gallons of lubricants per year ? equating to 1.5 times the size of the Exxon Valdez spill ? are washed off into wat ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Compact Membrane Systems (CMS) proposes to develop a perfluoro membrane reactor technology that will provide a generally applicable tool for removing water and oxygen from pharmaceutical synthesis processes. This innovation aims to improve product quality and reduce manufacturing costs of pharmaceutical end products. Manufacturing cost reductions will be derive ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Current management of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is suboptimal. Arteriovenous carbon dioxide removal (AVCO2R) combined with mild oxygen ventilation has shown promise. AVCO2R is mild pumpless technique u

Ethylene and propylene are major chemical industry raw materials and consume a great deal of energy related to their production. It is estimated that 250 trillion BTU/yr are consumed in olefin/paraffin separations. In 2011 worldwide ethylene and propylene production was about 140 and 70 million tons respectively. Historically, membrane processes for separating olefins and paraffins have been demon ...
