DARPA is seeking to develop the system components for enabling disconnected platforms to collaboratively null interference in order to communicate from one collaboration group to another. Our focus is on achieving the best performance within the constraints of practical radio limitations, such as the maximum transmit data rate, the number of simultaneous transmissions a radio can receive, and the ...

CU Aerospace, along with the University of Illinois wishes to propose SYNERGEO,a geostationary platform that is assembled from sub-modules by the DARPA Phoenix robot. Each module complies with the DARPA POD standard. With an initial launch of 4 modules, up to three payloads can be supported. With additional core platform modules, the number of unique payloads increases exponentially. Further, the ...

Proposed, is a low cost fiber optic high dynamic range magnetic field gradient measurement system for noninvasive, real-time monitoring of bio-magnetic activities with high spatiotemporal resolution in unshielded environment. Each gradient measurement system would consist of 1 scalar magnetometer, 1 each of horizontal and vertical gradiometers, and additional scalar magnetometers for background ma ...

Suspended ceiling tiles are widely used in commercial and residential construction because they offer flexibility and easy access to utilities. Most of the available tiles absorb water, resulting in sagging, staining, and mold/mildew growth. They also contain potentially hazardous chemicals and release airborne fibers when broken or cut. Existing tiles are not durable, requiring frequent replaceme ...

This SBIR Phase I proposal requests support for Alphacore, Inc. to design and characterize a 40Gsps (giga-samples per-second), 7-bit (ENOB > 6 bits), low-power (

In most critical software systems, a state that is partially visible through values passed across interfaces contains information that could determine the health of the software system, and whether a failure is likely in the future. Some of this information behaves in a continuous fashion, e.g., the available memory or disk space is easily interpreted to monitor system health. Other values are nom ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project will develop and ready for commercialization a scalable, low-cost process for purification of water containing Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs) using anodic oxidation with boron-doped ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD®) thin films. Resent research demonstrated that there is considerable potential for the development of electrochemica ...

"With the rapid growth of biodiesel industry, the production of crude glycerol as one of major biodiesel byproducts has been dramatically increased. Fully utilizing such a large quantity of crude glycerol is critical to the sustainability of biodiesel industry. Lactic acid is an important industrial chemical that is widely used as a food additive for flavoring and preservative, a moistener in co ...

This SBIR Phase-II project further develops an exciting new invention in the field of quantum cryptography that will secure the physical layer of today's ubiquitous fiber-optic data networks. Unlike the techniques that are based on single-photon states which are confined to low bit rates and short distances, our approach is based on coherent states emitted by ordinary lasers that permits scaling t ...

The goal of the Phase II is to develop a parallel version of a common mesh infrastructure (CMI) for efficient adaptive simulations of transient multi-scale and multi-physics processes in complex geometries based on a new, fully threaded tree (FTT) abstract data type. A CMI defines both global topology of a computational domain and local connectivity information on the mesh through a map of a multi ...
