There exists a wide-range need in both industry and government for quantitative residual stress measurements. Generation 2 Materials Technology LLC (G2MT) will collaborate with partners from industry and government to calibrate and commercialize the eStress system to assess residual stress from mechanical damage and re-rounding. The industrial members, consortiums, and government laboratories who ...

Revere has conceived a light weight public key algorithm (PKA) named"PASSERINE"that offers a significant improvement in speed, power, footprint, latency and bandwidth when compared with RSA and ECC. On some platforms, we predict PASSERINE will outperform ECC by an order of magnitude in both the footprint and speed of the public key operation. Unlike more conventional PKA solutions, Passerine has ...

The objective of this proposal is to develop, implement and evaluate a set of accurate and robust algorithms specifically designed to capture and measure multilateral social interactions automatically through audio-based methods based on asymmetric data design. We propose to accomplish this by: 1) Developing a novel method that uses multiple microphones interfaced with a smartphone and placed on a ...

Blood comprises a comprehensive compendium of biomolecules that is fully representative of human health; identification of specific biomarkers is useful for diagnosis, prediction, and monitoring of health, in real-time, making it the bio-fluid of choice for analytical applications. However, owing to the broad range of biomolecules in blood (10-log orders), the distribution of very low-level bioma ...

During the Phase I program, Mustang engineers collected radar data on dogs, cattle and other animals and compared it to existing human data to find extractable features and begin development of algorithms to discriminate between humans and animals. Phase I resulted in a rudimentary algorithm that can be used to discriminate humans and animals based only on the radar returns. In Phase II we propose ...

Today's lower-cost, smaller weapons require low-cost seekers in increasingly smaller form factors. To this end, Mustang Technology Group is proposing a low-cost digital receiver development aimed at small munitions applications. Based upon our successful line of low-cost RF seeker technologies, this new development will provide the military with an effective, inexpensive seeker for a wide ran ...

High Altitude High Opening (HAHO) parachute insertions are a clandestine means of delivering soldiers and equipment into hostile territory. HAHO operations involve complex planning and integration of dynamic geographic, meteorological, and tactical data. For example, changes in the wind altitude profile may necessitate last-minute modification of the planned aircraft exit altitude and Designated I ...

HemaSpot is a single use device that uses a finger stick to collect and dry two drops of blood within a protective cartridge, enabling self-sampling from a remote location. The sample can be immediately shipped or stably stored at room temperature and is compatible with current diagnostic testing methods. HemaSpot allows anyone to take a blood sample at any time and any location. This enable ...

"SSSC is pleased to propose the development and delivery of a Hostile Fire Indication Sensor (HFIS) based on the Phase I design concept. The resulting system will limit the number of circuit card assemblies to two: one for the short wave infrared (SWIR)

Qintelix, Inc. proposes to demonstrate the feasibility of a 1 MW scale carbon nanotube (CNT) based electrostatic energy storage system with high charge and discharge rates, high cycle life, and high energy density. CNT based electrostatic energy storage technology will enable a transformational shift from reliance on Lithium Ion battery technology to adoption of a novel electrostatic energy storag ...
