Current seL4 ecosystem is centered on a wiki and github that are maintained by NICTA and Data61 (a commercial spin-off organization of NICTA). Many branches and forks of the seL4 code base that are readily publicly accessible but often orphaned and out dated. Additionally, the major training and education efforts are mainly offered and managed by Data61. However, due to geographical distance from ...

Ziva’s proposed Ultra Nonlinear Plasmonics (TALON) technology addresses the critical DoD need to miniaturize tunable and non-linear photonic, on-chip components and devices. Ziva’s TALON modulator exploits composite metamaterials both for its waveguide section cladding layers and for the non-linear interaction sections. The former effectively reduces the propagation loss of TALON’s ultra-con ...

Nanohmics Inc. in collaboration with Dr. Andrea Al propose to develop and experimentally demonstrate ultra-compact nonlinear-plasmonic all-optical switches and isolators that exploit sharp asymmetric plasmonic-resonances observed in sub-wavelength metasurfaces. Devices will be comprised of plasmonic gratings that couple light into Long Range Surface Plasmons (LRSPs). The gratings are engineered to ...

Developing knowledge-driven nanoelectronics for military applications requires understanding the fundamental physics that governs the behavior of the underlying materials. Strongly correlated materials have very desirable properties such as interfacial superconductivity, ferroelectricity, ferromagnetism, and huge magnetoresistance, which make them an ideal set of candidates to integrate with semic ...

This project will address the need for reliable and robust wearable ultrasound system for both imaging and modulation in challenging environments such as ambulances, emergency rooms, battlefields, and industrial facilities by using the concept of autonomy. Specifically, we will develop autonomous wearable systems that integrate ultrasound imaging and modulation subsystems within a single cognitive ...

CRG proposes to leverage its partnerships, advanced aerospace system design capabilities, and unique manufacturing technologies to design, build and demonstrate a flying missile rail along with the high-rate production technologies required to meet DARPAs objectives of 500 units per month, within one month.CRG will focus on high-rate manufacturing technologies currently in use within the automotiv ...

This STTR will develop atomically precise fabrication and measurement technology that will enable a new experimental regime to study the physics of strongly correlated quantum systems.The fabrication techniques are based primarily on Hydrogen Depassivation Lithography (HDL) which uses Scanning Tunneling Microscope technology to create atomically precise patterns of H on a Si (100) 2x1 surface in a ...

Medical Ultra Sound (US) technology, and associated hardware, software, algorithms, and systems have seen great development over the last decade, and field portable US transducer and imaging systems are readily available. However, key shortcomings remain that limit their application: 1) Need for operator control of wand pose, 2) Need for human expert interpretation of resulting US images, 3) Large ...

Wearable, high image quality, low power, conformable ultrasound capable of delivering acoustic energy for nerve modulation

CONCUR develops a computational framework for assessing and characterizing urban environments stability or fragility in response to volatility and stress, identifying specific weaknesses as well as key tipping points which could lead to rapid systemic failure. CONCUR explicitly models urban environments as emergent complex systems, focusing attention on the critical triggers that could lead to rap ...
