This Phase II proposal extends the technique developed during Phase I for protecting CPI into a commercially viable and generally applicable source-to-source transformation engine. In addition, we expand the Phase I approach to support high-performance secure computation through careful division of tasks, between a slower secured processor, and multiple high-performance general-purpose COTS proce ...

NASA aerocapture missions require an accurate evaluation of radiative thermal transport in order to simulate the aerothermal environment around space vehicles. However, present day computation of radiative transport in this complex multi-dimensional environment is frequently done using simple one-dimensional tangent-slab approximations or optically-thick approximations which compromise the accura ...

Nesch, LLC will evaluate an in-laboratory Diffraction Enhanced Imaging (DEI) and Multiple Image Radiography, here referred to as DEI, machine as a potential new non-destructive evaluation/testing technique for use by the U.S. Army. Unlike conventional x-radiography, which derives contrast only from a specimen's absorption effects, DEI derives contrast from all interactions of X-rays with a specime ...

Odyssian Technology and its team of highly regarded experts propose to develop advanced distribution and control technology for hybrid intelligent microgrids. The novelty of their proposed concept is in the use of a wireless mesh network to control distributed generation assets in concert with system loads through multi-layer intelligent load shedding. A technology proprietary to Odyssian Technol ...

RF diplexers are a common and critical element in military and commercial communications equipment, allowing two independent communications channels to share a common antenna network. A diplexer can be thought of as a special type of combiner or splitter which allows two transmit signals, two receive signals, or a transmit / receive pair to operate concurrently through a common antenna network. ...

THERE IS A NEED TO DEVELOP SPECIAL PURPOSE ALGORITHMS FOR SOLVING ELECTROMAGNETIC COUPLING AND SCATTERING PROBLEMS, THAT WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF RECENT ADVANCES IN COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY. TO THAT END WE PROPOSE A NOVEL ALGORITHM THAT IS BASED ON SOLVING NONLINEAR VOLUME-INTEGRAL EQUATIONS IN THE FREQUENCY-DOMAIN. THIS METHOD APPEARS TO OFFER SEVERAL ADVANTAGES OVER OTHER TECHNIQUES: (A) IT WILL ALLOW ...

NEW TYPES OF ANISOTROPIC MATERAILS, SUCH AS COMPOSITES, CERAMICS, AND HONEYCOMB STRUCTURE, ARE FINDING INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT APPLICATIONS IN HIGH-FREQUENCY ELECTROMAGNETICS. THESE APPLICATIONS RANGE FROM MICROWAVE AND MILLIMETER-WAVE INTEGRATED CIRCUITS AND OPTICAL DEVICES TO ANTENNA RADOMES AND RADAR ABSORBER MATERIALS. WHILE THE BASIC THEORY OF THE INTERACTION WITH ANISOTROPIC MATERIALS OF ELEC ...

THE AVIAN EGG HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED BY SPACE BIOLOGISTS AS AN EXCELLENT, SELF-CONTAINED MODEL FOR LIFE-SCIENCE RESEARCH FOR MORE THAN A DECADE. MORE RECENTLY, BIRDS HAVE GAINED ATTENTION AS A POSSIBLE BIOREGENERATIVE LIFE-SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR SPACE STATIONS AND LUNAR/MARS MISSIONS. BEFORE THE FULL POTENTIAL OF THESE AVIAN MODELS CAN BE REALIZED, AN ADVANCED, EXPERIMENTAL TESTING APPARATUS, AN INNOVATI ...
