Superconducting nanowire photon detectors have enabled new scientific measurements and secure communication systems by improving the detection of near-infrared photons, a band that is traditionally problematic for semiconductor- and photomultiplier-based detectors. Although nanowire technology is maturing, significant applications and markets are untapped because of the lack of a "plug and play" s ...

We propose to develop a low SWaP, portable microwave Rb-87 cold atomic clock using pulsed coherent population trapping (CPT). The SWaP goal is to achieve a volume of

The primary goal of this proposed effort is to develop mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) colloidal quantum dot (CQD)-based focal plane arrays (FPAs) to significantly reduce the cost of MWIR photon imagers. In order to realize this goal, it will first be nec

A team at EP Purification has performed research for the development and commercialization of low-cost microchannel plasma reactor modules capable of efficiently producing ozone for water treatment and other environmental applications in a slim form factor and size. The conservation of water resources for human consumption is a growing national priority. Ozone is a unique purification agent as it ...

DornerWorks is seeking to develop the QuickSAT based Xen Space Hypervisor, a space qualified hypervisor that will support the virtualization of satellite payloads, systems and software modules on a full range of space vehicles from CubeSATs to large satellites and launch vehicles. The Xen Space Hypervisor is an extended version of the open source Xen that includes elements of the ARINC 653 partiti ...

THE PRESENT PROGRAM HAS THREE TECHNICAL OBJECTIVES. THE FIRST IS TO CONSTRUCT A COMPUTER CONTROLLED VERSION OF A CONFIGURABLE OPTICAL SUPERCLASSIFIER THAT IS CAPABLE OF ACCEPTING A SYSTOLIC STREAM OF INPUT DATA. THE NEXT MAJOR OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO DEVELOP A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE BUS STRUCTURE THAT WILL BE REQUIRED TO FEED DATA INTO THE OPTICAL SUPERCLASSIFIER AT RATES THAT ARE CO ...

CARBON/CARBON COMPOSITES ARE HIGH STRENGTH MATERIALS WHICH WILL BE INCREASINGLY USED IN ADVANCED AEROSPACE AND DEFENSE SYSTEMS. AS MATERIAL PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS BECOME MORE STRINGENT, THE CURRENT PROCESS CONTROL METHODS WILL BECOME INADEQUATE AND MANUFACTURING VARIABILITIES WILL IMPACT ON SYSTEM PERFORMANCE, COST AND RELIABILITY.CURRENT MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS RELY HEAVILY ON TEMPERATURE AND PRE ...
