The goal of this project is the formulation a rigid, insulating, low-density wood composite, with physical and thermal properties comparable to fossil fuel derived foams. _x000D_ _x000D_ To achieve energy conservation standards mandated by certification agencies such as Passive House and LEED, high performance buildings require multiple shells of insulation – an inner shell that contains electri ...

The objective of this project is to design a software architecture based on densely-connected neural network to perform automatic targetsegmentation and recognition using training datasets of limited size (low-shot). Deep learning architectures have proved to be extremelyeffective at object detection and recognition, but such capability comes at the cost of having large labeled datasets. Such data ...

For standoff chemical identification applications, the longwave infrared has several key lines for spectral discrimination.Unfortunately, most hyperspectral systems are quite large, making them unwieldy.Nanohmics proposes to develop a chip-scale longwave infrared hyperspectral imaging technology.The weight and packaging volume will be dominated by the fore-optics instead of the spectroscopy soluti ...

Our goal is to provide the Department of Defense with a reliable, point-of-need diagnostic device that is field-deployable, appropriatelysensitive, and can be easily adapted for detection of a variety of biological targets that are of interest to the defense community. Phase I of thisproject was for the initial demonstration and development of our low-cost personal diagnostic platform (referred to ...
