Six new technologies received TGIR Awards for innovation, sponsored by NASA's Office of Aerospace Technology, at the Turning Goals into Reality conference. All of the technologies lead to cleaner, quieter, safer, efficient, and affordable air travel.
Pioneering Technology Award The Secure, Mobile, Wireless Network Technology Team, for development of miniaturized Mobile Router to benefit ground-based transportation.
Mission Safety Award The Miniaturized Smart Leak Detection Sensor Team, for their microsystem-based hydrogen sensor and supporting electronics system.
Emissions Reduction Award The Turbine Airfoil System Development Team, for their airfoil material system made up of a new blade alloy and thermal barrier coating.
Noise Reduction Award The Fan Noise Reduction Team, for their discovery that injecting air through the blade trailing edge slots reduced or removed non-uniformities in the fan stream.
Mobility Award The Small Aircraft Transportation System Airborne Internet Team, for delivering aviation information services to aircraft as interconnected nodes on a digital communications network.
Mission Affordability Award The GRCop-84 Alloy Development Team, for their use of the GRCop-84 alloy in combustion chamber liners to reduce manufacturing costs and delivery times by 50%.

Light Matters: Systems Level Approach to HBLED illumination applications
Its good practice to apply a systems-level approach to high-brightness LED (HBLED) illumination applications. Minimally, the system includes the optical, thermal and electrical characteristics of the of the HBLED, the lens (if any) which is built-in to its package, secondary optics such as external plastic lenses/reflectors to direct the light as your application requires and power driver electronics.
