Advanced manufacture requires low-latency and high-reliability wireless communications between the sensors/actuators and the central controller. However, the current wireless protocols cannot meet such stringent latency and reliability requirements. In this project, InfoBeyond advocates L2Wireless (Low-Latency High-reliability Wireless Protocol Using Cooperative Relaying and Network Coding) to add ...

With this Phase I funding, the project team will develop and test a prototype of D-TECH, a system to determine students' level of academic engagement while completing computer-based learning activities and assessments. The prototype will integrate within existing third party computer-based programs (e.g., online courseware, educational games, simulations, intelligent tutors) and will consist of a ...

Not Available This SBIR project proposes to design an optimal methodology for the control of the twintail buffet problem encountered with modern fighter aircraft such as the F/A-18, F-15, and the new joint strike fighter (JSF). The buffet problem occurs when vortices emanating from the leading-edge extension of a delta wing break down before reaching the vertical tails. The resultant Unsteady unb ...

Not Available Hypersonic flight creates intense heating on the leading edges of aerostructures, thus mandating low-mass structures to accommodate the high temperatures generated by atmospheric drag and propulsion system exhausts. Even higher heat loads are imposed on structures heated by propulsion systems. Scramjet/airframe structures are exposed to heat fluxes as high as 10 Btu/in 2-sec. Typica ...

Not Available In this Phase I proposal, we present a plan for the improvement, development, and integration of accurate signature modeling into existing Modeling & Simulation (M&S) tools that support space-based sensors. While existing M&S tools can presently model complex scenarios, multiple sensors and targets, accurate sensor motion, and targets with articulation, they do not necessarily incor ...

Not Available Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop an innovative protection device for human eyes and opticl sensors that performs regionally adaptive glare reduction. The critical elements are an ultracompact off-axis telescope, a microlens array-based limiter, and a regionally adaptive attenuator. The advantages of this innovative concept include its simple and compact structur ...
