Crested multi-layer tunnel barriers have been proposed, which offer a revolutionary solution to overcome density to speed trade-offs characteristic of present data storage technologies. Practical implementation of the proposed technology will involve useof thin film materials which are readily manufacturable and CMOS-compatible. A critical need exists for experimental verification of the theoret ...

The goal of this Phase I STTR proposal is to quantify the necessary hardware and processing requirements to enable a ship-based radar system to automatically detect and track whales on the ocean surface at distances of 5 kilometers or more for the purposeof collision avoidance. Long standoff detection and tracking is crucial to collision avoidance since large ships, such as commercial oil tankers, ...

The objective of this project is to develop multiscale simulation tools for coupled carrier-phonon transport in micro/optoelectronic devices and to explore novel concepts of phonon engineering for heat removal and termal management in advancedsemiconductor devices. The phase I effort resulted in a prototype software modules for multiscale simulation of phonon dynamics in LD semiconductors and prov ...

Phase I feasibility research will be based on developing novel organic/inorganic hybrid, inhibitor modified or reacted silane based corrosion inhibitor systems that will enhance corrosion suppression capability of existing organic/inorganic hybridcorrosion inhibition systems by incorporating novel inhibitor modified silanessuch as novel silanes modified with imidizoles as a novel corrosion inhibi ...

This effort will investigate a recent breakthrough in damping materials developed under AFOSR sponsorship at UCLA for potential application to launch vehicle and spacecraft component vibration mitigation. CSA believes that the proposed effort is unique inthat it offers, for the first time, a practical high performance passive solution to the vibration suppression needs of several Air Force applica ...

Current research initiataives, including DoD IHPTET and HyTech, DOE ATS, and commercial development, are agressively pursuing significant improvements in combustor performance Optimization typically results in operating regimes for which combustionstability is difficult to maintain. This proposed program continues the novel combustion control and optimization concepts with flexible dual-use appl ...

Machine learning offers an automated approach for deriving and maintaining the mappings necessary to link records across databases. The approach we propose here, if successful, will significantly advance this technology. Previous work in this area haslargely ignored the fact that each source typically has uniform conventions for representing data. By taking this into account, we can to a better ...
