Applied Technical Solutions

Our scientific staff provides consulting services for the following areas: statistics, EM field computations, medical imaging applications, sonar systems, and signal processing. Two projects which were awarded through the Small Business Initiative Research Prorgram are listed below.


Visualization of Circuit Card EM Fields

This contract was awarded by the Air Force (contract number F41608-94-C-1126) to Zwillinger & Associates (the precursor to Aztec Corporation). This project explored novel materials (including electrooptical, magnetooptical, and piezoelectric materials) to visualize circuit board electromagnetic fields. Dr. Zwillinger was the principal investigator on this project. Phase I of this work was completed in 1994. (Government report number AD-A291 491).

A Phase II continuation contract was awarded to Aztec Corporation: contract number F41608-96-C-0116. This project prototyped an end-to-end system for non-contact measurement of the electromagnetic fields generated by circuit boards. The main research issues were the system integration of electrooptic field sensors and experimental determination of the sensor effectiveness. Dr.~Zwillinger was the principal investigator on this project. This work was completed in 1998 (Government report number AD-A347 002).


A Luggage Simulation Tool

The Department of Transportation SBIR Phase I contract A Luggage Simulation Tool was awarded to Zwillinger & Associates: contract number DTRS-57-93-C-00113. The work involved the simulation and imaging of packed luggage. Dr.~Zwillinger was the project manager. This work was completed in 1994.

In all of these SBIR activities, all of the original technical objectives were met.
