During the phase I effort, Semandex Networks and its team designed and implemented a proof-of-concept cloud-based application for knowledge navigation and document discovery that combines powerful text analytics with an intuitive UI. The prototype capability is poised to transform current data archival systems into meaningful connected information. The proof-of-concept prototype developed during t ...

Despite over 100 years of research, decompression sickness (DCS) remains the mission-limiting factor in the design and execution of combat diving operations.Divers may spend over an hour decompressing after spending as little as ten minutes at the target depth.While decompressing, divers are limited in vertical mobility, making then susceptible to detection and threatening their survivability.This ...

Infrasound and seismic measurements are used by DTRA and the DoD for nuclear test monitoring, terrorist blast forensics, battle damage assessment, and environmental monitoring. However, these long wavelength physical signals are typically recorded through single-point sensors or sparse low density arrays. As a result, the critical signals of interest are often corrupted or masked by noise or inter ...

A significant performance gap exists between the theoretical number of Floating Point Operations (FLOPS) that a HPC machine is capable of sustaining and the number of FLOPS realized by real-world HPC applications. One of the principle reasons for this gap is the parasitic work that computational processes must do to communicate with one another. It has been shown that this communication work can b ...

Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and computing power provide new opportunities to better organize and exploit large volumes of stored data residing in an organizations archives. State-of-the-art filing systems produce search results tha...

We propose a novel and promising solution for automated real-time audio authentication to combat vishing attacks. We first propose detailed solutions for different types of audio attacks, such as impersonators, spliced audio, pre-recordings, disguised, o...

Automatically identifying emerging technologies and research trends from the high volume of the worlds scientific publications is of great significance in order to stay ahead of the critical advances that impact the development of new and disruptive technologies. Semandex and Barnstorm will implement a prototype tool, INSIGHT, that will scan large datasets from web content services and perform ana ...

Scientific Solutions, Inc. (SSI), teamed with BAE Systems and Southall Environmental Associates, Inc. (SEA), proposes to investigate the feasibility of using hull-mounted active sonar integrated with above-water sensors, specifically radar and EOIR, to autonomously indentify and track marine mammals from transiting surface ships at ranges out to and beyond 1,000 yards. Active sonar, radar, and EO ...

Solid State Scientific Corporation (SSSC) is pleased to propose a Phase I SBIR program to develop a unique multi-spectral imaging sensor prototype The proposed spectral sensor will be lightweight, portable, low-power and rugged with simultaneous imaging of all the spatially registered spectral bands. The optical system which is less than 1 cubic centimeter in volume will provide a sensor field of ...

The purpose of this proposal is to present a novel and promising solution for a portable medical recorder. The system consists of the following modules: a microphone array, adaptive beam forming, noise reduction, audio compression, loudspeaker, and audio/data interfaces. The proposed implement includes three major chips. This company has developed two very similar products for military and CE appl ...
