Thyratron Replacement
SBC: DIVERSIFIED TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Topic: 31bAlthough the thyratrons used in klystron modulators for large accelerator projects function properly, they need replacement every 10,000 hours at a cost of $13,000 each, plus labor. Furthermore, periodic maintenance is required to adjust their reservoir heater voltage over the thyratron lifetime. Thyratrons are also becoming obsolete as fewer and fewer vendors are selling them in response to decre ...

Further Development of Large-Area Micro-channel Plates for a Broad Range of Commercial Applications
SBC: INCOM, INC. Topic: 35bThis program will build on the work of the Large-Area Psec Photo-Detector (LAPPD) program, under which a transformative design for low-cost large-area photodetectors that use 8 square micro-channel plates (MCPs) is being developed. The technology will be extended by reducing the pore size of these large-area MCPs from 20 m to 10 m for commercial and scientific applications requiring improved spac ...

Solid-State Neutron Detectors with Integrated Electronics for Nuclear Physics
SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC. Topic: 39bAt present, detectors of fast neutrons use liquid scintillators liquid scintillators can be dangerous to handle due to their low flash points and bulkiness, and the readout of the liquid scintillator by large PMTs limits the available position resolution and ability to operate in high magnetic fields. Large arrays of detectors are hampered by the large cost of many channels of electronics and the ...

LED-assisted ignition for lean-burn IC engines
SBC: AERODYNE RESEARCH INC Topic: 07eWe plan to propose an LED-assisted ignition technique for lean-burn internal combustion engines. It has been known for decades that lean fuel/air mixture is difficult to ignite than the stoichiometric mixture. The proposed technology is based on enhancing chemical reactivity of fuel-air mixtures by non-equilibrium optical pumping of reaction intermediates from ground state to the electronic excite ...

Innovative Process for Production of Neodymium Metal and Neodymium-Iron Master Alloy
SBC: Boston Electrometallurgical Corporation Topic: 02dNeodymium is an essential element for the powerful permanent magnets used wind turbines, electric vehicles, and other applications. However, neodymium is classified by the Department of Energy as critical due to insufficient and insecure supply, including a virtual monopoly by a few companies in China. Even with the current expansion of rare earth mining in the US, Canada, and Australia, there i ...
