Novel Materials for In-Situ Ablation Sensing
SBC: INDUSTRIAL MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS INC Topic: AF10BT04ABSTRACT: In order to achieve precise guidance, navigation and control in re-entry vehicles, aerodynamic shape must be accurately known throughout the flight trajectory. For this Phase I program an ultrasonic-based technique for real-time, non-intrusive (5 KHz) measurement of recession during ablation will be developed. The system combines the elements of ultrasonic thickness gauging technology w ...

Electrochemical Conversion of CO2 and Water to Syngas
SBC: DIOXIDE MATERIALS, INC. Topic: AF11BT07ABSTRACT: This proposal attepts to develop a new high efficiency process for conversion of carbon dioxide and water to syngas, as a first step in production of synthetic fuels. We have already demonstrated the conversion of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide at over 80% energy efficiency. The objective of the proposed work is to extend the process so that we can also produce syngas. BENEFIT: I ...

High Efficiency Up/Down Converting Nanoparticles
SBC: VOXTEL, INC. Topic: AF11BT24ABSTRACT: To address the need for covert, transparent optical taggants, which can upconvert and downconvert greater than 100 nm when stimulated by either 830 nm or 1064 nm laser light, a series of wide bandgap doped metal oxide nanoparticles will be developed and demonstrated. In Phase I, lanthanide-doped core-shell nanocrystals will be fabricated that are sufficiently small (e.g.

Novel protocol for Quantum Key Distribution
SBC: NUCRYPT LLC Topic: AF09BT21ABSTRACT: Quantum key distribution (QKD) is an exciting application of quantum theory to the important real-world problem of secure communication. Specifically, QKD may allow for provably secure key distribution. These random keys can then be used either in a one-time pad style encryption system (for absolute security at low rates) or a standard encryption system (for high security at high rates) ...

Noninvasive 3-D optical quantitative imaging of engineered tissue
SBC: DIAGNOSTIC PHOTONICS, INC. Topic: OSD11H08This project will bring interferometric synthetic aperture microscopy (ISAM), a powerful new method of computed microscopy, to bear on the problem of quantitative tissue assessment. The promise of tissue engineering, including wound healing, is limited unless the tissue is treated correctly at optimal times during growth. Therefore, continuous, nondestructive, microscopic 3-D visualization and qu ...

Ultra Low Field MRI / MEG dense array Scanner for Combat Casualty Care
SBC: Electrical Geodesics, Inc. Topic: OSD11H18The purpose of the proposed work is to demonstrate the feasibility of a novel instrument for multi-channel nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) at ultra-low field (ULF). The instrument will overcome issues involved with conventional MRI systems use in combat casualty care. It will also provide direct measurement of neurophysiological activation dynamics by magnetoencephalography (MEG) and wi ...

Deceiving the Deceivers: Active Counterdeception for Software Protection
SBC: GALOIS, INC. Topic: OSD11IA2DoD operations and infrastructure increasingly depends on software, which makes it an attractive target for our adversaries. Not surprisingly, deception plays a central role in most cyberattacks. To better protect these critical systems, we propose to design and build an"active counterdeception"software protection system which we call CYCHAIR that both incorporates the right sensors, and enables ...
