Magnets using new high temperature superconductor (HTS) materials are showing great promise for high magnetic field and/or radiation environment applications such as particle accelerators. However, the development and operation of these magnets is limited because appropriate sensors and diagnostic systems are not yet available for monitoring the manufacturing and operational processes. In this pr ...

The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) produces neutrons for neutron scattering studies that allow researchers to study key materials properties. These neutrons are produced by the interaction of a very short (1 µsec), highly intense (1 MW at 60 Hz) pulse of protons within a flowing bath of mercury, in a process that deposits a large amount of thermal energ ...

40436 November 18, 1996 Advanced Safeguards, Inc. In high-security Department of Energy and Department of Defense facilities, cold-chemical smoke generators are used to produce visual obscurants in order to delay unauthorized intruders. The technology is based on the rapid rejection of two chemicals, contained within the device, into the surrounding air w ...

This project will extend the Capability Acquisition Graph (CAG) model to a form that can be easily analyzed with formal methods in order to develop countermeasures for cyber attacks arising from within an organization. The extension will be based on an efficient translation of the problem to Boolean Satisfiability (SAT), in order to exploit the both the speed and capacity of SAT solvers. Extensio ...

For more than four decades, space-based systems have been used to support the detection of activities associated with the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. This project will develop efficient and scalable tool to evaluate the robustness of radiation-hardened circuits and to automatically generate recommendations for radiation hardening in these space systems. The tool will be based o ...
