Developing Better Air Defense Systems
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-05)
Many of today’s U.S. military aircraft entered service decades ago, and keeping
them mission-ready can be a challenge. Facing many dangers in several parts of
the world, GTRI engineers are helping U.S. airplane and ...
Reducing Aircraft Noise
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-04)
GTRI researchers are hard at work fi nding new ways to make aviation quieter. From
exploring new uses for helicopter transportation to leading the development of next
generation air vehicles, GTRI is helping to streamline ...
Protecting Sensitive Data
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-05)
GTRI scientists have developed a series of prototype systems that uses special
high-strength permanent magnets to quickly erase a wide variety of storage
media. Originally designed for military applications, the new ...
Safely Placing Pavement Markers
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-05)
There are more than three million road reflectors in place on Georgia highways. GTRI
researchers designed an automated system that uses sensors to place the markers "on the
move" reducing the amount of time workers spend ...
GTRI Around the World
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-05)
Locations of GTRI.
Measuring Dental Shrinkage
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-05)
The polymer dental-filling material, used today by most dentists, tends to shrink when it is cured in a tooth causing a tooth to crack or decay. GTRI researchers along with clinicians from the Medical College of Georgia ...
Improving Indoor Air Quality
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-05)
As scientists learn more about the potentially harmful effects of indoor air pollution,
nations around the world are imposing strict regulations on chemical emissions
from furnishings, paints, clothing and building ...
Flying on Hydrogen
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-05)
Georgia Tech researchers have led the development of what is believed to be
the largest unmanned aircraft to fly using a compressed hydrogen fuel cell. A
500 watt fuel cell system powers the aircraft, which has a 22-foot ...
Non-Invasive Disease Detection
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-05)
GTRI is leading a multidisciplinary team of researchers identifying and measuring
breath biomarkers for disease detection, beginning with breast cancer. The research
is being done in collaboration with the Emory University ...
High-Priority Aircraft Defense Upgrade
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-05)
Working on a tight deadline, GTRI engineers developed a device that enhances
the capabilities of the missile warning system of many military aircraft flown by
the United States and its allies. They designed and built the ...
