Towards space-deployable laser stabilization systems based on vibration-insensitive cubic cavities with crystalline coatings.

We present the development of a transportable laser frequency stabilization system with application to both optical clocks and a next-generation gravity mission (NGGM) in space. This effort leverages a 5-cm long cubic cavity with crystalline coatings operating at room temperature and with a center wavelength of 1064 nm. The cavity is integrated in a custom vacuum chamber with dedicated low-noise locking electronics.

Decreasing Percentage of Infants With Very Low 5-Minute Apgar Scores at a Safety-Net Level III NICU.

Objectives: Low 5-minute Apgar scores predict mortality and may be associated with poor neurologic outcomes. Our percentage of infants with low 5-minute Apgar scores was higher than the national average (2.4%).

Deployment of precise and robust sensors on board ISS-for scientific experiments and for operation of the station.

The International Space Station (ISS) is the largest technical vehicle ever built by mankind. It provides a living area for six astronauts and also represents a laboratory in which scientific experiments are conducted in an extraordinary environment. The deployed sensor technology contributes significantly to the operational and scientific success of the station.

Compact x-ray microradiograph for in situ imaging of solidification processes: bringing in situ x-ray micro-imaging from the synchrotron to the laboratory.

A laboratory based high resolution x-ray radiograph was developed for the investigation of solidification dynamics in alloys. It is based on a low-power microfocus x-ray tube and is potentially appropriate for x-ray diagnostics in space. The x-ray microscope offers a high spatial resolution down to approximately 5 μm.
