CPS Awarded Cooperative Agreement with Army Research Laboratory for Armor Development.NORTON, Mass. -- CPS (1) (Characters Per Second) The measurement of the speed of a serial printer or the speed of a data transfer between hardware devices or over a communications channel. CPS is equivalent to bytes per second. Technologies Corporation (CPS) (OTC Bulletin Board OTC Bulletin Board An electronic quotation listing of the bid and asked prices of OTC stocks that do not meet the requirements to be listed on the NASDAQ stock-listing system. : CPSH CPSH Center for Psychological and Spiritual Health ) today announced it has been awarded a Cooperative Agreement from the Army Research Laboratory to further develop manufacturing technologies to produce large modules of hybrid metal matrix composite Metal matrix composite A material in which a continuous metallic phase (the matrix) is combined with another phase (the reinforcement) that constitutes a few percent to around 50% of the material's total volume. armor. The Agreement is a four-year Agreement with first year government funding of $1 million. The Agreement is funded under the US Department of Defense Manufacturing Technology Program. This Cooperative Agreement seeks to develop manufacturing technology needed to produce large modules of armor material designed through a collaborative effort using CPS' existing, patented HybridTech(TM) metal matrix composite armor technology and technologies developed at the Army Research Laboratory. CPS HybridTech armor modules are comprised of multiple materials completely enveloped en·vel·op tr.v. en·vel·oped, en·vel·op·ing, en·vel·ops 1. To enclose or encase completely with or as if with a covering: "Accompanying the darkness, a stillness envelops the city" within and mechanically and chemically bonded to lightweight and stiff aluminum metal matrix composites. CPS believes that CPS HybridTech armor materials offer a lightweight, multi-hit capable and cost competitive alternative to conventional steel, aluminum and ceramic-based armor systems. ABOUT CPS CPS serves a portfolio of end markets with advanced material solutions, the most significant solution being metal matrix composites (MMCs). CPS has a proprietary, leading position in MMCs today, primarily providing electronics OEMs with thermal management components to increase performance and reliability. CPS products are used in internet routers and switches, motor controllers for hybrid vehicles This is a list of hybrid vehicles in chronological order of production: Early designs
