Preliminary Toxics Release Inventory Data. The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) is a publicly available EPA database that contains information on toxic chemical releases and waste management activities reported annually by facilities in certain industries as well as federal facilities. The TRI Program provides the Preliminary Toxics Release Inventory dataset annually in mid- to late July to give the public an opportunity to see the most recent TRI information prior to the publication of the TRI National Analysis report in December. Please note that the Preliminary Toxics Release Inventory dataset is not yet complete and will be updated every two weeks as the TRI Program continues to process additional reporting year 2012 TRI submissions. DISCLAIMER: See http://www2.epa.gov/toxics-release-inventory-tri-program/2012-tri-preliminary-dataset for limitations and other information regarding the use of this data.

NLRB C-Case (Unfair Labor Practice) data from CATS (Case Activity Tracking System) for the period of 01/01/1999 through 09/30/2011. Please be aware that from April 2011 through September 9, 2011, the NLRB implemented a new case management system (NxGen) that replaced CATS. This was an ongoing process, and each month, from April through September, additional regions migrated to NxGen, with the data for those regions being retained solely in NxGen. Accordingly, for cases that did not close before a region migrated to NxGen, any information regarding subsequent actions or dispositions that occurred after the region migrated to NxGen was not captured in CATS. Thus, this is the most complete information available from CATS. This supersedes any previous XML data publication by the NLRB on Data.Gov, as significant data review and cleanup was performed in CATS prior to the migration to NxGen. This also represents the final posting of the bulk-data (aka "Data Dump") from CATS. There are some known closing-date errors in this data, reflecting data-entry mistakes within CATS that have been identified and corrected within NxGen. This data has not been corrected within CATS since CATS is no longer the system of record for this Agency. Therefore, if any case shows a closing date beyond 09/30/2011, you can find the corrected closing date on http://www.nlrb.gov, under "Cases & Decisions," "Case Search."

The Center for Program Analysis maintains information related to RE-Powering America's Land Initiative, which demonstrates the potential that contaminated lands, landfills, and mine sites provide for developing renewable energy in the United States. The Data Asset comprises maps and shape files that show completed installations as well as renewable energy potential. It also includes a feasibility study data set that was completed in cooperation with DOE National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to pair EPA expertise on contaminated sites with the renewable energy expertise of NREL. Data Sets that demonstrate renewable energy potential exist for each EPA region. These Data Sets are not all-inclusive and do not identify best sites, and additional research and site-specific analysis is needed to verify viability for renewable energy potential at each site.

CCL 1 is a list of contaminants that are currently not subject to any proposed or promulgated national primary drinking water regulations, that are known or anticipated to occur in public water systems, and which may require regulation under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The list includes, among others, pesticides, disinfection byproducts, chemicals used in commerce, waterborne pathogens, pharmaceuticals, and biological toxins. The Agency considered the best available data and information on health effects and occurrence to evaluate thousands of unregulated contaminants.

The ARES J-2X requires a large nozzle extension. Currently, a metallic nozzle extension is being considered with carbon-carbon composite as a backup. In Phase 1, Plasma Processes Inc. (PPI), with the support from subcontractor ATK Launch Systems, fabricated, coated and test fired Haynes 230 and domestically produced 2-D carbon-carbon nozzle extensions. The test results show coated carbon-carbon intact and Haynes 230 in need of film cooling and emissivity and, or thermal barrier coatings. Oxide emissivity coating reduced the Haynes 230 wall temperature by 500F. In Phase 2, the primary goal will be to develop the optimum thermal solution for a metallic J2X nozzle extension. Working with Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne, high emissivity and thermal barrier solutions will be demonstrated on successively larger components until full size capability is demonstrated. A secondary goal is to continue the demonstration of domestically produced 2-D C/C composite nozzle extension materials and oxygen protective liners for use on liquid rocket engines. The team of Plasma Processes, Inc., Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne and ATK Launch Systems offers the state of the art skill set that is uniquely suited to the Phase 2 program.

<p>Functional and parametric degradation of microcircuits due to total ionizing dose (TID) often pose serious obstacles to deployment of critical state-of-the-art (SOTA) technologies in NASA missions. Shielding to the electronics box is used to mitigate TID degradation. Shielding materials can add significant amounts of mass to a system.  One method for reducing mass is to apply “spot” shielding located only on the critical components that require it. Board area is often a constraint for spot shield design.  3-D printing technology offers promising breakthroughs in the design and deployment of radiation shielding optimized to the capability of the component, the mission radiation environment, and the shielding already provided by the component’s surroundings. Shields can be designed based upon the individualized package features to minimize area yet better protect from the omnidirectional radiation environment; such hand-and-glove fits would otherwise require complex machining.</p><p>Shield design is accomplished by the commercially-available NOVICE code.  NOVICE radiation attenuation calculations use the code’s ray-trace procedure in conjunction with 1-D attenuation data scaled for the different attenuation properties of the materials. A 3-D adjoint Monte-Carlo simulation verifies shielding effectiveness. NOVICE then generates the .STL CAD file for direct importation into a DMLS system.</p><p>We have demonstrated successful development, fabrication, and mass-savings of a DMLS additive-manufactured component-level prototype shield. The prototype shield was assembled to a PCB-mounted operational amplifier as a proof-of-concept and for Phase II functional evaluation necessary to bring this technology to TRL-6.  Phase II efforts focus on environmental (vibration, thermal-vacuum) testing of the shield-component-PCB system.  Additional goals include demonstration of reliable DMLS-printed shield design and fit across package types, and assessment of the manufacturing quality of the DMLS-printed shields across multiple manufacturers and materials.</p>

Orbital Research proposes to develop, build and test 3 additional high temperature components for use in the design of a Data Concentrator Module in distributed turbine engine control at high temperatures. The concentrator receives analog and digital signals related to turbine engine control and communicates with a FADEC or high level command processor. This data concentrator follows the road map put forth by DECWG for use in creating a demonstration platform for turbine engine distributed controls communication development that operates at temperatures at least up to 225C. Phase I was the development of detailed specifications for each component needed for the system, as well as to define the total system specification. This entailed a combination of system design, compiling existing component specifications, laboratory testing, and simulation. The results showed the feasibility of the data concentrator. Phase II of this program will focus on three key objectives: The first objective will be to update Data Concentrator design modifications from DECWG and Prime Contractors. Secondly, to define the requirements for the three new high temperature ASICs. Finally to validate each design by testing over temperature and under load.
