Emergent Healthcare Solutions proposes to research the feasibility of a dynamic cloud-based incident Intelligence System called Emergent Cloud. Emergent Cloud is an application service providing firefighters and Emergency Medical Technicians access to an interactive incident roadmap and real-time workflow and record keeping. The general aim of the proposed project is to revolutionize the user expe ...

To satisfy unmet military needs for multimode day/night digital image sensors, Voxtel is developing a high-dynamic-range visible-sensitive and near-infrared-sensitive single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) digital imager with efficient photon detection, hi...

Voice phishing ("vishing") is an increasingly serious threat that cost victims over $46 billion in 2016. Attackers pose as trusted callers using impersonation, voice mimicry, speech synthesis, voice conversion, Caller ID spoofing, and other techniques. Once victims trust the caller, the perpetrator can engage in fraudulent and criminal activities leading to financial losses and security breaches. ...

Galois and Dan Boneh of Stanford offer Talaria, a research project and prototype architecture of a secure, decentralized messaging and transaction platform. Talaria addresses four concerns for such platforms: resilience, scalability, security, and transparency.Talaria uses a decentralized, redundant, and distributed server-side architecture to provide resiliency. Talaria provides scalability by us ...

To meet the U.S. military need for a near-single-photon low-light-level passive imager, a large-format, near-infrared (NIR)-sensitive silicon single-photon avalanche-diode (SPAD) digital imager capable of high-dynamic range, high detection efficiency, and low dark counts will be developed. Toward this end, in Phase I, a 256 x 256-element SPAD imager will be integrated into a camera, characterized, ...

Voice phishing (vishing) has become a serious threat. Attackers pose as trusted callers using impersonation, voice mimicry, speech synthesis, voice conversion technologies, and many other techniques. Once victims believes they are speaking with a t...

Idaho Scientific proposes the development of Secure Protocol Unalterable Data (SPUD) as a means to identify activity against system technologies. Approved for Public Release | 17-MDA-9219 (31 May 17)

Current focal plane array (FPA) technologies for imaging in low-light conditions in the short wave infrared (SWIR) are limited by poor quantum efficiency and/or poor noise characteristics. To address this need, a new SWIR-sensitive linear-mode avalanche photodiode detector array, will be optimized for low-light imaging, fabricated, and demonstrated. Unlike existing SWIRavalanche photodiodes (APDs) ...

Idaho Scientific proposes to design and develop, SPUD, an irrefutable tamper logging protocol.During the course of this Phase I effort, Idaho Scientific will implement the core of the logging protocol and develop a set of unit tests designed to evaluate properties of that protocol that uphold its irrefutable claims. During a Phase II effort, Idaho Scientific would propose to encapsulate this proto ...

A 1280 x 1024, 12-micron-pitch format radiation-hardened dual-band digital infrared readout integrated circuit (ROIC) will be developed. The features of the reconfigurable adaptive detector integrated circuit (RadIC) include: low-noise in-pixel amplifiers, in-pixel analog-to-digital conversion (ADC), extended > 22-bit dynamic range with temporal-photon flux-rate encoding, high-rate readout, and as ...
