The goal of this proposal is to create the software Weave™ to automate the extraction of critical dimensions (CDs) from scanning electron microscope (SEM) images for the microelectronics industry. Current best practices for extraction of CDs are that personnel analyze the images one by one, which is tedious, prone to human bias, time-consuming and expensive. Successful implementation of Weave™ ...

Today’s Computer-Aided Design (CAD) applications utilize restrictive mathematical assumptions to approximate the compound geometric intersections necessary to represent real-world products. As a result, critical information is not represented within the Model-Based Definition (MBD) for downstream users in the digital thread, forcing engineers to manually repair CAD models and convert them into d ...

SparkCognition’s SparkPredict is a turnkey solution that analyzes sensor data and uses machine learning to return actionable insights, flagging suboptimal ...

Building on deep advances in automated reasoning, we have developed Imandra, a next-generation cloud-native automated reasoning engine. We believe Imandra is the ideal platform to implement the tools and techniques required to analyze ML/AI algorithms used by the US Navy. Imandra is already making real industrial impact: For example, Goldman Sachs is now public with the fact that they use Imandra ...

The EVREADI effort will develop and apply artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) capabilities to improve spare parts demand forecasting accuracy for mission-critical aviation components, guide collaborative provisioning planning based on those forecasts, and quantify the Readiness tradeoffs associated with those plans.

KBSI will establish an Intelligent Anomaly-Based Maritime Situational Awareness System (IMSAS) for enabling intelligent self-contained acoustic detection capability within Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) and/or an Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (UUV). The concept is to build a framework for multi-dimensional anomaly detection, where multiple predictive models are trained to model the normative behavior ...

Engin's core mission is to provide innovative solutions to a broad range of engineering challenges. In this tradition, Engin is proud to propose an innovative redesign of the AAV road wheel. The Marine Corps has identified a need for an improved and lightweight redesign of the road wheel component of the AAV. The opportunity is to redesign the road wheel leveraging modern materials, manufacturing ...

TransWave Photonics proposes an innovative quantum cascade laser manufacturing approach to reducing quantum cascade laser cost more than 10 times by increasing yield and manufacturing throughput without the need of manufacturing infrastructure up-scaling. Addressing the slow growth rate of the quantum cascade laser active region, overgrowth for buried-heterostructure fabrication, and devices packa ...

Germanium is a crystalline material and commonly used infrared materials in MWIR and LWIR regions. Fabrication of Germanium windows are time consuming and expensive. Texas Biochemicals Inc., recently developed a novel technology to produce dual band MWIR/LWIR materials via ultra-high purity nanopowder. This nanopowder with a quick consolidation method allows durable, highly transparent dual-band w ...

Carbon fiber composites are increasingly being used in aerospace applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratios. Currently, resin pre-impregnated fabrics (pre-pregs) require cold storage which is not amenable to O-level repairs. Additionally, composite curing is performed in vacuum sealed bags in an autoclave or through a double vacuum debulk procedure. These processes require specialty ...
