BACTERIAL EXPRESSION OF LYMPHOMA RNRNASE IMMUNOTOXIN

Not Available F&S proposes to develop high temperature multiplexed optical fiber sensors capable of simultaneous strain and temperature measurement using F&S' patented long period grating (LPG) technology. F&S will also investigate other optical fiber sensing approaches using patented extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer (EFPI) and Bragg grating technology. This approach represents a significant advance over conventional electrical foil based strain measurement. These sensors suffer from temperature, EMI, size, and multiplexing limitations that the proposed optical fiber sensors do not. F&S will leverage its experience commercializing single point strain and temperature optical fiber sensors to develop simultaneous strain and temperature sensors for extreme environments. The design goals for these sensors will be 1 microstrain or better resolution, 1 ¿F or better resolution, and multiplexing. This gage enhances F&S' suite of physical measurement sensors for gas turbines, wind tunnel instrumentation, process monitoring applications, and other industries. F&S has assembled a strong team of researchers to successfully transition this innovative technology into a successful commercial product. F&S has a history of bringing novel fiber optic sensing concepts from the laboratory to marketable products and will use this experience to ensure near-term market penetration of the system.
