Functional Near Infrared Imaging for Cognitive Event Detection during Target Discrimination in Military Imagery
SBC: INNOVATIVE TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS, INC. Topic: SB022041The work done in Phase I demonstrated using cognitive brain signals to determine the output of a discrimination task. No attempt was made to feed these signals back into the system to help the user better perform the discrimination task. The work to be done in Phase II focuses on using cognitive brain signals to adapt and manipulate the tasking of a user so as to improve their overall performances ...

Robust Communications
SBC: FROST COMMUNICATIONS, INC. Topic: SB052019The Frost Secure Waveform (FSW), secures the RF carrier itself, Layer-1 of the OSI Reference Model, as a discrete transmission element, as opposed to the information it carries. The signal becomes part of the WGN rendering it almost invisible except to intended communicants and even if detected, is extremely difficult to acquire. The bandwidth transparent technology takes advantage of maturing D ...

Alternative Transducers for Handheld Automatic Speech Recognition in Military Environments
SBC: MAYUR TECHNOLOGIES Topic: SB031007The DARPA Phraselator currently deployed in overseas military operations is capable of translating spoken English language phrases into audible Pashto, Urdu, Dari, and Arabic language phrases. Although usable, the Phraselator is highly vulnerable to typical military environment noise resulting in significant loss of accuracy due to the limitations of existing microphone technology. Therefore the ...

Frameworks for Semantic Integration of Intelligent Sensor Processing Systems
SBC: Intelligent Automation, Inc. Topic: SB072023The problem of unifying symbolic knowledge and concept representations and systems with the sensor inputs from the external environment is fundamental to the development of autonomous sensor-to-symbol systems. Existing approaches do not provide ways for allowing systems to rapidly incorporate new knowledge. The proposed sensor-to-symbol framework addresses the following key capabilities: • Provi ...
