• $124,993 - Thursday the 15th of November 2012
  National Aeronautics And Space Administration
  NASA SHARED SERVICES CENTER
  THE TEAM OF PRIME PHOTONICS, VIRGINIA TECH, AND UTRON KINETICS PROPOSE TO DEMONSTRATE A METHOD FOR FABRICATION OF A BULK, AMORPHOUS, COBALT-RICH MATERIAL THAT DEMONSTRATES LOW-NOISE MAGNETIC PROPERTIES, SUPERIOR TO THOSE OF THE 6-81.3 MO-PERMALLOY FAMILY. IN PARTICULAR, BULK COBALT-RICH AMORPHOUS MATERIALS WILL PROVIDE INCREASED PERMEABILITY, TUNABLE CURIE TEMPERATURE, HIGHLY CONTROLLED COERCIVITY AND SATURATION INDUCTANCE, ALL WITHOUT THE INTRODUCTION OF MAGNETOSTRICTIVE-BASED EXCESS NOISE. THE BULK NATURE OF THE MATERIAL WILL PROVIDE AN UNPRECEDENTED DEGREE OF FREEDOM IN CORE GEOMETRY DESIGN OVER EXISTING RIBBON-FORM AMORPHOUS ALLOYS, ALLOWING FOR NEAR-NET SHAPES OF DENSIFIED COMPACTS. THE COMBINED EFFECT OF THESE ENHCANCEMENTS WILL BE TO INCREASE FLUXGATE SENSITIVITY, DECREASE OFFSET AND NOISE, AND ALLOW FOR NEW, SMALLER GEOMETRIES IN FLUXGATE MAGNETOMETERS.

• $124,968 - Friday the 10th of July 2015
  National Aeronautics And Space Administration
  NASA SHARED SERVICES CENTER
  PRIME RESEARCH LC (PPLC) AND VIRGINIA TECH (VT) PROPOSE TO DEVELOP AN ENERGY HARVESTING WIRELESS STRAIN NODE TECHNOLOGY THAT UTILIZES SINGLE-CRYSTAL PIEZOELECTRIC FIBER-BASED ENERGY HARVESTING, HIGHLY SENSITIVE AND LOW POWER PIEZORESISTIVE STRAIN GAGES, AND ULTRA WIDE-BAND (UWB) ULTRA LOW POWER RADIO COMMUNICATION. SINGLE CRYSTAL PIEZOELECTRIC FIBERS PROMISE TO IMPROVE PIEZOELECTRIC HARVESTING POWER DENSITY BY A FACTOR OF 4 5? WHILE THE ULTRA WIDE-BAND RADIO (UWB) AND PIEZORESISTIVE STRAIN GAGES PROMISE TO LOWER POWER REQUIREMENTS BY ALMOST 100X. THE PROPOSED PHASE I WORK WILL DEMONSTRATE THE TECHNOLOGIES CRITICAL TO SUCCESSFUL COMMERCIALIZATION OF A LOW COST, MASS PRODUCIBLE, POSTAGE STAMP SIZED WIRELESS STRAIN NODE. A KEY RESULT OF THE PHASE I EFFORT WILL BE DEMONSTRATION OF THE PROPOSED HARVESTING AND SENSING TECHNOLOGIES. DEMONSTRATION OF THESE TWO ITEMS WILL REMOVE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT HURDLES TO A SUCCESSFUL COMMERCIAL PRODUCT. PHASE I WILL PROVIDE THE DATA NECESSARY TO PERFORM AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM DESIGN IN THE PHASE I OPTION AND DURING PHASE II, PPLC AND VT WILL FABRICATE THE INTEGRATED DEVICE FOR USE IN FIELD TRIALS.
