Current radiator design technology has proven ineffective and inefficient for high performance combat vehicles with smaller silhouettes. Goss Engineers, Inc. proposes a new and innovative modeling approach to determine the Army's future direction in radiator designs. We will develop Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Heat Transfer and Thermal Stress models to examine the significance of several ...

Research associated with this Phase I Small Business Innovative Reserch proposal, and its possible Phase II follow-on, are expected to demonstrate the feasibility and practicality of use of affordable info-geometric instrumentation technology for accurately integrating real and virtual forces, crews and advanced weapons systems in combined laboratory (trainer) and field (operational maneuvering) t ...

Concentrations of most circulating hormones and their metabolites are too low for existing test strip technologies to measure. Laboratory measurements are based upon immunological binding of these hormones. Color tests utilizing colloidal gold or enzyme mediated color changes have been linked to immunological binding and applied to hormones to yield non-quantitative yes or no tests. These methods ...

IA, Inc. proposes to develop a light weight, field-portable, fiber-optic sensor capable of measuring a panel of prognostic and diagnostic infection indicators including IL-6, TNF-alpha, IL-12, and CRP. The proposed sensor will provide a system suitable for field medical units which is capable of early detection of infection, and will require only minimally trained operators. The sensor will be a ...

In spite of the rapid advances in the speed and density of electronic components, a compact hardware package providing a complete real-time solution to vision problems remains beyond the capabilities of currently available technology. This project proposes to develop a smart CCD camera using a temporal cellular neural network architecture that can perform a variety of iconic operations in real-t ...

As a candidate concept to recycle Post-Consumer Waste (PCW), Industrial Honeycomb Structures, Inc. (IHS) proposes to incorporate PCWs as feedstocks for manufactoring an innovative, cost-effective construction material systems using building panels comprised of paper-honeycomb and fiber-reinforced-polymer honeycomb FRPH) structural elements. These elements are light-weight, high-strength, tough, re ...

As a candidate OHC-IFP panel concept, Industrial Honeycomb Structures, Inc. proposes an innovative fiber-reinforced-polymer honeycomb core material sandwiched between two fiber-reinforced- polymer skins. These materials are light weight, high strength, tough, resilient, and highly producible, but need to be qualified for ballistic protection. The honeycomb cores appear promising as a means for lim ...

The proposed research seeks to develop an automated method for searching a reuse reposing or and retrieving reusable software components using algebraic specifications. Each component in the repository has an associated algebraic specification that describes both the type signature of its interface and its computational behavior. The OBJ3 language and system is used to do equational reasoning vi ...
