This effort develops automatic detection of malicious binary code based on syntax-independent logical control flow patterns. Control flow patterns yield specific detectable signatures that can be extracted from binary code. Because they are based on functional control flow, these signatures also discriminate the kinds of behavior a binary can perform; furthermore, these signatures are independen ...

This effort will develop a capability for automated modification of binary code based on canonical algorithm patterns of control flows. Since these methods are based on control flow, they are OS and language independent. The methods offer a path towards building operating systems that are self-repairing and can immunized against malicious behavior. This effort will develop methods to automate in ...

Scrub typhus, caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi poses a threat to U.S. forces deployed to the Asian/Australian/Pacific regions during contingency and peacekeeping operations. Development of an assay for the detection of O. tsutsugamushi that is rapid, accurate, field-usable and soldier-friendly is therefore a high priority for the DoD. In its Phase I effort, Access Bio demonstrated the feasibili ...

The AEgis Technologies Group, Inc. proposes to develop a 2D focal plane array UV/VIS light modulator using MEMS-based diffractive grating technology that will greatly enhance the capability of HWIL test systems. Grating ElectroMechanical Systems (GEMS) technology developed by Kodak Eastman will be enhanced and modified to accomplish a wideband, analog modulator capable of providing significantly h ...

This technology project aims to advance the art of aviation in reducing - by almost an order of magnitude - landing and takeoff distance for diverse aircraft. AEREON will exploit the "dynamic lift" phenomenon, emulating the technology/technique of birds. Such technology accomplishment will respond to the Phase I SBIR Topic "To Enhance the Navy's Warfighting Capabilities" (enabling very short-field ...

Reusable space vehicles currently being designed by the United States Air Force (USAF) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for both military and commercial applications require innovative structural components that are both light weight and able to withstand the severe thermal environments of multiple reentries into the atmosphere without time consuming and expensive refur ...

This SBIR Phase I project proposes the feasibility study of integrated all-optical 2R regeneration and 3R optical signal regeneration devices for use as high-speed interfaces in satellite applications (solicitation AF04-043). Currently available products achieve regeneration of signals by resorting to Optical to Electrical and then Electrical to optical conversion (OEO), which results in costly, ...

The objective of this SBIR proposal is for Analytical Services, Inc. (ASI) to develop design requirements for a client/server, Windows-based, database catalog (potentially, a Web-based distributed system) to track Radiation Hardening technologies and components of interest to the Missile Defense Agency (MDA). This Radiation Hardening Catalog (RHC) will initially be used to store and track radiati ...

This proposal presents an innovative, affordable, and feasible architecture of frequency synthesis and modulation based on SiGe high-speed MMIC designs. The architecture includes an ultrahigh-speed direct digital synthesizer (DDS) with a maximum clock frequency of 10GHz to synthesize and modulate the intermediate frequency (IF) of 1GHz and above. It uses a low-noise phase lock loop (PLL) to gene ...

This proposal presents an innovative low power and low noise MMIC for 10GHz multifunction frequency syntheses and modulations using advanced SiGe technology. The architecture includes an ultrahigh-speed direct digital synthesizer (DDS) with a maximum clock frequency of 10~12GHz to synthesize and modulate the intermediate frequency (IF) of 1GHz and above. It uses a low-noise phase lock loop (PLL) ...
