RESONANT INTERBAND TUNNEL DIODES (RITD'S) ARE A NEW NEGATIVE RESISTANCE DEVICE, WITH POTENTIAL FOR VERY HIGH SPEED, LARGE PEAK TO VALLEY RATIOS, AND THE POTENTIAL FOR CUSTOMIZED I/V CURVES. THESE DEVICES ARE BELIEVED TO BE CAPABLE OF SWITCHING IN \2PS., OR OF OFFERING GAIN IN THE TERAHZ RANGE. POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS INCLUDE THE GENERATION, AMPLIFICATION, AND DETECTION OF TEREHZ RANGE SIGNALS, AND ...

ABSTRACT: An ability to reduce the weight of cables has the potential to provide significant cost savings, reduce maintenance and improve reliability of satellites. The costs of developing and producing satellites are linearly proportional with the satellite"s weight, with each kilogram costing around $1 million when delivery-to-space costs are included. With global satellite launches expected to ...

In this proposal, AlphaSense, Inc. details the development of a fully integrated laser ultrasound visualization and laser ablation tool for corrosion identification, removal and cleaning. The key innovations of this proposal include the following: a) Hidden corrosion detections based on direct visualizations of the ultrasound propagation characteristics, b) Corrosion product removal using laser ab ...

The objective of this proposal is to develop Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM) compliant GPS receiver for Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) applications. In this proposal, we explore an approach to design the GEO GPS SAASM receiver based on improved techniques for signal acquisition (or detection) and then signal tracking (and demodulation) of weak GPS signals. GPS signals availa ...

ABSTRACT:Emergence and feasibility for flexible body-worn electronics and particularly medical patches requires high performance electronics capability.The problem is that these new technologies must have flexible and conformal physical formats and conventional electronic components are not in any way flexible. In the CLAS Phase I program, a new flexible high-performance manufacturing and material ...

Software development faces many challenges as high-performance computing (HPC) moves towards exascale: scalability, programmability, performance portability, resilience, and energy efficiency. To tackle these challenges, fundamental shifts in the basic execution models and programming models employed by HPC software are required. In particular, commonly used linear algebra libraries performance s ...

Researchers at JBEI have developed a pretreatment technology using ionic liquids that efficiently extracts sugars from a combination of mixed feed stocks. Any ionic liquid used for biomass pretreatment or cellulose hydrolysis by thermostable cellulose may be used. Until now, no known technology could efficiently pretreat and liberate sugars from mixed feedstock streams. The JBEI technolo ...
