Phase I proposes a workflow, called Masked Vulnerability-Preserving Reduced Order Model (MVP-ROM), that encodes a novel non-weaponizable structure-preserving ROM algorithm using a nonlinear port-Hamiltonian modeling for networked power systems, integrated under the Idaho National Laboratory (INL)’s All Hazards Analysis (AHA) Framework for Critical Infrastructure (CI) analysis. The project p ...

The team will develop a prototype of an augmented reality product for high school biology topics focusing on cellular and molecular functions. Students will be able to manipulate models and view cell processes in an engaging and informative series of hands-on group-learning lesson modules. At the end of Phase I, in a pilot study with 10 high school biology teachers and 100 high school students, th ...

Through previous grant awards from IES, researchers developed Graspable Math, a tablet-based intervention where middle and high school students create and manipulate complex expressions for basic operations as well as equations and equations systems and inequalities. In this project, the team will develop a prototype of Graspable Math Activities, an app with novel kinds of algebra practice and ass ...

This project team will develop and test a prototype app of a screening assessment for children who are Spanish-English Dual Language Learners (SE-DLL) in early education. The prototype will provide formative assessment reports to teachers to guide their decision-making, and will include a series of videos to increase knowledge on core competencies of supporting SE-DLL children. At the end of Phase ...

The huge growth in mobile industry including smartphones and tablets, wearable devices, and the internet of things, caused an explosion in the number of sensor technologies and sensory data. This growth was accompanied by huge leaps in wireless communication technologies in term of speed and geographical coverage. When a highly-trained first responder arrives at an incident scene, an array of comm ...

The proposed SkySight Technologies Downed Power Line Sensor will detect and alert the presence of a downed power line and its energized status through a sensor on the power line. In the event of a downed power line, an alert message is sent via wireless network to the utility provider regarding the lines energized status, while a concurrent visual onsite indicator flashes to alert first responders ...

Model-based image reconstruction (MBIR) has been demonstrated to have great potential value in a variety of DHS applications including baggage and cargo CT scanning. However, while MBIR has the potential to reduce artifacts and increase resolution, the computational requirements remain a barrier to its application. High Performance Imaging LLC seeks to create and commercialize the Inverse Engine ...

The project will create an affordable system to monitor adolescent athletes in contact sports to identify individuals at risk for traumatic brain injury from continual sub-concussive impacts. The need is to reduce the risk of long term brain injury by providing tools to tell when it's risky/safe to play and find areas where strength training and technique may reduce risk on an individual level. Th ...

Innovative Design Labs (IDL), in collaboration with the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC), proposes to create a system for the sensing and control of stand-to-sit motions of a wearable bionics suit. Recent research found that 3.86 million Americans require wheelchairs and the number has been increasing annually by an average annual rate of 5.9% a year. While wheelchairs provide freedom all ...
