The decreasing cost and increasing benefits of information technology have dramatically accelerated the development of tehcnical innovations in education. Yet the stimulus of information technology has not yet led to any analogous evaluation innovations. This tremendous impalance is an obstacle to improving education and must be corrected. Iota Solutions has recated an innovative evaluation method ...

The proposed innovation is a deicing system for aircraft leading edges using a high-efficiency, electrically actuated thin-film elastomer. The entire aircraft industry needs this technology to improve safety while minimizing the overall impact on aircraft weight and fuel consumption. We propose to use a low-cost, electrically actuated thin-film elastomer to break the ice bond in a manner similar ...

"Motion sickness has long been a problem during the deployment of military forces. The increased speed and agility of today's transports makes this problem even more acute. For the special forces who undertake rapid insertions using a variety of vehiclesin all weather, the incidence of motion sickness can compromise the mission and endanger lives. Despite intensive research, there are still no ...

"We propose to develop a comprehensive team SA measurement system to provide direct insight into soldier dynamic knowledge and decision skills at various levels of small squad command and in major types of military operations in urban terrain (MOUT). Thesystem will integrate a real-time measure of team SA for use during soldier immersion in VR simulators and a post-immersion measure for integrati ...
