In this SBIR project, Knowledge Evolution, Inc. (KEI) supported by the University of Southern California's Information Sciences Institute (ISI) proposes to develop a Multi-Media Design Narrative (MMDN) capability that can fundamentally alter the way software design knowledge is communicated among designers. The MMDN will bid on three complimentary technologies: 1) KEI's case-based approach to sof ...

This SBIR will explore and develop new automated methods for dynamic fault tolerance in defense electronic systems. The research will investigate using the software of digital signal processor operating systems to pro-actively map defective operations to remaining processors. In the past, fault tolerance has relied on passive redundancy to extend operating life. With software, a simple re-start ...

This proposal is to design a standard collaborative tool that will link together geographically separated experts at specialized workstations with disparate data, source materials, algorithms and domain knowledge, for the purpose of creating geospecific virtual worlds. The proposed standard collaborative tools will be based on the proven functionality of the Multi-dimensional, user-oriented Synth ...

Computer and communication technologies have advanced to a level where the large volumes of data required for "real time" cockpit information services can be gathered, transferred, processed and displayed to provide a commercially vaible environment/air traffic spacial relationships advisory service, on a continuous basis, to aircraft in flight. This proposal details the development of a plan that ...

Orbital Technologies Corporation (ORBITEC) proposes a miniature optical sensor that will be able to accurately measure angle of rotation. The Fiber Optic Rotation Mini-Sensor (FORMS) will also implement fiber optics in such a manner that the sensor will be EMI immune, and smaller than other currently available rotation sensors. The combination of accuracy, stability, reliability, and durability, a ...

Events including the Oklahoma CIty bombing and the Sarin attack in the Tokyo subway have emphasized the vulnerability of personnel, both military and civilian, to unexpected attack with conventional explosives and chemical substances. To combat this threat requires portable, low cost sensor systems capable of detecting a variety of dangerous materials at extremely low concentrations. Such a tech ...
