Abstract:Frequency stabilized lasers are essential subsystems; as flywheel oscillators in optical atomic clocks, as well as in many sensing and measurement systems. In optical atomic clocks, Allan Deviations<10^-15 at 1 s are needed if the readout of the atomic ensemble is to be limited by projection… more
Abstract:We construct a frequency stabilized laser which will generate 10 GHz microwaves with Phase noise -100 dBC/Hz at 1 Hz, or equivalently, an optical frequency with an Allan Deviation of 8e-16 and a drift rate of<1 Hz/s. This is achieved with a silicon reference cavity (for short-term stability)… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is a tremendous need for new analytical methods to enhance vaccine research and development, ultimately allowing the production of safe and efficacious vaccines in less time at less cost. For example, it is well known that for splt vaccines one step in the… more
Abstract:A critical need of the U.S. Navy is the development of a reliable, efficient and robust underwater target detection and classification system that can operate in real-time with various sonar systems and in different environmental and operating conditions. To maintain performance in such difficult… more

Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Elderly patients with Alzheimer's disease and dementia present a massive care challenge for family members and care professionals. In the last year of a patient's life, half of family caregivers report spending 46 or more hours a week assisting him/her… more
Abstract:ABSTRACT: Air Force space missions with optical payloads are limited in their reflective aperture by the diameter of the launch vehicle fairing. EELV class vehicles are very expensive and even then their apertures are limited to less than 5 m. If the smaller launch vehicles like the Minotaur I… more
Abstract:ABSTRACT: With increased focus on development of highly capable NanoSat spacecraft and missions, innovations in system design and architecture yielding high performance, modular and multi-function systems will enhance Air Force mission utility, capability and flexibility. An area of considerable… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The number of adults and children who are overweight or obese continues to increase and has reached epidemic proportions. Obesity is due to a sustained positive energy balance (energy intake gt energy expenditure) and is typically coupled with low levels of… more

There are several categories such as “By Agency”, “By Year”, “By State” etc.
Select a checkbox within a category to refine your search results.
Each of your selections is listed in the “Narrow Search Filters” bar. You can uncheck these selections to remove them.
Search for Either Criteria
When you select multiple values within a category, the results will include values that match either of the selections.
For example, selecting “2005” and “2007” in the “By Year” category will display results that include either 2005 OR 2007 in the results.
Narrowing the Search Results
You can refine your search results across categories. To narrow down your results, select multiple values across different categories. The results will only include values that match the selections across the categories.
For example, selecting “2005” in the “By Year” category and “NASA” in the “By Agency” category will only display the results that contain both “2005” AND “NASA” in the results.
