International FemtoScience will develop and demonstrate a new technology to achieve an advanced accelerometer that enhances an Inertial Measurement Unit’s high-g operability. This accelerometer provides smaller, lighter, more robust, less expensive devices, compatible with known production methodologies. To achieve the required performance a novel material (not silicon-based, to achieve the high ...

Robotic autonomy and enhanced training in principles of design for large-scale 3D-printing will enable a new model of Air Force and defense construction. Branch Technology’s large-scale 3D-printng innovation, Cellular Fabrication (C-FAB), opens up a platform-specific training opportunity for Air Force end users to revolutionize the military construction arena while simultaneously improving ...

Branch Technology has developed a revolutionary method of large-scale Freeform 3D-Printing for construction called Cellular Fabrication (C-FAB) that brings unprecedented design freedom, resource stewardship, and manufacturing efficiency to the construction arena. By combining prefabrication and additive manufacturing, C-FAB will enable cost and time savings for Air Force end-users while also allow ...

Branch Technology is an architectural fabricator specializing in large-scale 3D-Printing for the construction arena. The company’s process, called Cellular Fabrication (C-FAB), combines industrial robotics, powerful algorithms, and Freeform extrusion to produce lightweight, robust, and custom architectural components. No other process in the world can enable Freeform 3D-printing with such r ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will demonstrate the ability to create a new family of biobased and biodegradable polymers produced from agricultural and forestry waste streams that have the potential to mitigate landfill-bound, single-use plastics prevalent in agricultural operations. In conventional agricultural operations, farmers use plastic mulch films to block weeds a ...

Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV) are an emerging technology for improving energy efficiency and reducing pollution emissions related to transportation-However, improving on-board Hydrogen storage is a key challenge to the advancement of light duty FCEV- Current storage methods utilize composite on- board vessels for high pressure Hydrogen gas- This method is costly and requires large storage vol ...

Purpose: In previous research and development, the team created LiveSchool, a technology for teachers to report student behavior in their class. In this project, the team will fully develop and test ClassCoach, a dashboard for administrators to track student behavior and to recommend resources teachers can use to address student behavioral needs in their classes. Over the past several years, schoo ...

Over the past decade, GTL has developed a suite of transformational technologies that provide superior performance for reduced cost.Each of these technologies have been matured to TRL 6 and establish the technical foundation for the Advanced Cryogenic Expendable (ACE) Multi-Role Vehicle (ACE-MRV). The ACE-MRV is a high-performance expendable rocket stage that can either be launched (from the groun ...

DLA Subsistence Supply Chain (SSC) experiences mold growth on wood pallets used for transportation of MRE. We propose a mold growth analysis and mitigation methodology based on supply chain, microbial monitoring and statistical techniques. The supply chain is modeled as a network of storage, production nodes and transportation links. A data collection procedure is developed to gather data related ...

The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Nuclear Physics Research supports user facilities studying the physics of rare radioisotopes. The facilities produce sufficient quantities of rare radioisotopes to be studied and possibly used for new applications, including medical diagnostics and treatment. The DOE Office of Nuclear Physics Isotope Program supports the US supply of many important uncommon ...
