The increasingly common use of mobile software platforms such as Android provides convenience and cost savings by consolidating multiple functions within one device. This consolidation comes at a price, however: the interactions between the various software applications (apps) is hard to predict. The underlying operating system provides security mechanisms to isolate apps and control communication ...

Purpose: Prior research points to several features of technology-based math games that may be important for supporting the learning needs of students with or at-risk for disabilities. These include games that engage students in highly motivating narratives, provide focused foundational knowledge and scaffolding of learning whole numbers concepts, and provide performance monitoring capabilities. Th ...

We hypothesize that infrared (IR) cameras mounted on unmanned tethered helium balloons accessed via a wireless network can remotely sense water quality in mixing zones at site scales. Mixing zones are limited regions in water bodies where the initial dilution of point-source wastewater discharge occurs. Mixing zones are an important component of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination Sy ...

Under the current Hazardous Waste Combustor Maximum Achievable Control Technology rule, heavy metal emissions from the nation’s thermal hazardous waste combustion facilities are estimated using control efficiencies determined during performance testing and estimated metal feed rates during normal operation. The error in estimates of metal emissions from this approach can be on the order of 100 ...

Under current Hazardous Waste Combustor Maximum Achievable Control Technology rule, heavy metal emissions from the nations thermal hazardous waste combustion facilities are estimated using control efficiencies determined during performance testing and estimated metal feed rates during normal operation. The error in estimates of metal emissions from this approach can be on the order of 100% or mor ...

We propose to develop key technologies required for a new class of minitaure robotic aircraft. Given successful development of these technologies, a new product based upon these technologies is readily developed.

TV Assistance Program, a form of rehabilitation service delivery that allows for consumers with cognitive impairments (e.g., traumatic brain injury, stroke, brain tumor) and their caregivers to sustain therapuetic support through assistive technology without the complexity of computer technology, difficulties with restricted/reduced funding, and the lack of proximity to service providers

The Personal Access Computer Key, a modified Universal Serial Bus designed to accommodate adaptive software capable of being launched on publicly accessible, updated computers

Microtech is proposing to develop a frequency stabilized THz generator based a millimeter wave backward wave oscillator (BWO) combined with frequency multipliers, as shown in Figure 1. BWO output frequency is stabilized by phase-locked loop system operating in the range 0.1-0.2 THz. The low frequency BWO output is subsequently extended to 0.2-1.0 THz range by using a set of frequency multipliers, ...
