Mimosa Acoustics will develop a portable binaural audiological device, based on our successful HearID system. HearID is a clinical system for otoacoustic emission and middle-ear power analysis testing; it is FDA and CE-marked. The new system will have the ability to conduct a variety of audiological tests especially for use in hearing-conservation programs, including: flexible otoacoustic emission ...

The innovation in this Phase II SBIR program is the development of a unique process technology that will enable the realization of a high current InP based photodetector capable of operating at increased optical power densities and with improved reliability. The process technology is an epitaxial lift-off (ELO) process in which the epitaxial material is completely removed from the InP substrate o ...

Many DOD systems require advanced digital signal processing and image processing functions that cannot be efficiently implemented on conventional micro-processors, hence designers have started mapping these applications onto FPGAs. However, most FPGA implementations are manually designed and highly coupled to the hardware, often taking advantage of special hardware features of the target FPGA. T ...

The significance of the innovation in this Phase I SBIR is the development of a technology which will enable the manufacture of a light weight, low cost cost , multi-band gap compound semiconductor material containing high efficiency compound semiconductor multijunction solar cells suitable for deployment for in very high altitude, very long endurance (HALE) solar solar aircraft. This will be ac ...

Distributed logistics problems cannot be solved using traditional centralized optimization techniques because of the autonomous nature of the entities involved. We propose to design and demonstrate a decentralized automated negotiation based approach. This game theoretic approach is implemented as a generic agent toolkit that can be customized by the domain-expert.
