Idaho Scientific proposes the development of Secure Protocol Unalterable Data (SPUD) as a means to identify activity against system technologies. Approved for Public Release | 17-MDA-9219 (31 May 17)

Idaho Scientific proposes to design and develop, SPUD, an irrefutable tamper logging protocol.During the course of this Phase I effort, Idaho Scientific will implement the core of the logging protocol and develop a set of unit tests designed to evaluate properties of that protocol that uphold its irrefutable claims. During a Phase II effort, Idaho Scientific would propose to encapsulate this proto ...

This project designs, develops, and markets a foot-operated mouse that builds upon patented Dental R.A.T. technology. The foot mouse is designed to allow efficient hands-free access to all computer functions and is compatible with all operating systems/software. This foot mouse requires no special software, programming, or training. It has accurate cursor control and left/right mouse click capabil ...

The goal of this project is to develop an ultra low power (ULP), radiation hardened, reconfigurable analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in the 130nm Flexfet Independently Double Gated SOI CMOS process. Satellites include a large number of sensors which perform both generic system functions and specific mission needs. For these various sensors, the required resolution for the associated ADC may be ...

The is an effort to increase radiation hardness/survivability of microelectronics through innovation of production processes and capabilities by establishing an economically viable low-volume sub-65nm rad-hard foundry CMOS capability based on Digital Beam Processing (DBP) technology. American Semiconductor (ASI) and Digibeam Corporation (DBC) propose a collaboration to evaluate sub-65nm radiation- ...

We propose to develop Open Service Gateway Initiative (OSGi) enhancements for configuration management and validation to enable assured switching between operational and test modes. We will design a moded configuration management and validation suite that extends public-domain OSGi implementations with capabilities for trusted bundles, XML-based device inventories, and mode switching and configura ...

This project, titled “Digitizing the K-8 Portion of the Positive Action Program for Web-Based Delivery,” is in response to Priority Two (Products) of the U.S. Department of Education Small Business Innovation Research Program, RFP Number: errd080008. The anticipated start date of this six-month grant is June 1st, 2006. The Positive Action (PA) program is a comprehensive approach to school refo ...

We investigate the development of a secure fuselet runtime environment built on a foundation of aspect-oriented web services. Aspect-oriented techniques enable the modularization of crosscutting concerns such as remote access, security, and monitoring using code instrumentation. We compose aspect-oriented instrumentation with web service technologies in a noninvasive and orthogonal manner, and lev ...

Bearing failure in satellite applications is related to lubricant starvation rather than fatigue, and health monitoring systems for these applications must be able to observe subtle changes related to lubrication state. Phase I included an experimental study to identify candidate monitoring approaches, and the data collected confirmed that cage motion characteristics and instability are highly sen ...
