Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) are at the core of Air Force scientific priorities in air vehicle design. As part of an ambitious research program funded by the Air Force, NASA, and DOE, Accelogic is spearheading the development of LAPACKrc, a groundbreaking family of FPGA-based linear algebra solvers able to achieve speedups larger than 1,000x with a single chip. Once completed, LAPACKrc wi ...

An estimated 70% of supercomputing cycles worldwide are dedicated to solving numerical linear algebra problems, and large-scale ¿least-squares¿ computational problems are an important subset of numerical linear algebra. Sca/LAPACKrc, a multimillion dollar program to develop FPGA-accelerated linear algebra software, already has demonstrated speedups larger than 100x per commodity processor for a ...

The primary aims and opportunities of the NexGEN Interface are revolutionary improvements to the OneSAF Behavior Composer and associated processes, to enable military personnel to rapidly and easily build or edit useful OneSAF behaviors for their training and operational purposes. Our NexGEN Interface focuses on military users who range from personnel with basic tactical skills to world-class tac ...

Our Internet Based-Rehabilitation (IB-Rehab) Modules are focused on end-to-end rehabilitation therapeutic support of our recovering warfighters. Our core modules currently enable initial hospital, outpatient/clinic, and patient-home uses on commercial-off-the-shelf desktop/laptop computers, game consoles, and smart-devices(PDAs/Smart-Phones). To overcome existing treatment challenges of mTBI, PTSD ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will assess the performance of autonomic-healing concrete asphalt through large-scale testing. Each year, about 500 million tons of hot mix asphalt is produced in America, with an average price of $80 per ton. Compared to concrete, hot mix asphalt features lower material cost, but is prone to fatigue cracking when subject to repeated ...

In Phase I the team completed all scheduled initial efforts, 1) evaluation of relevant current simulation capabilities, 2) development of aero-thermo-elastic-propulsion simulation of air-breathing hypersonic flight vehicles (AHFVs) and other flight vehicles, and 3) generation of a set of recommendations for multidisciplinary simulation capability, as planned. Numerical examples of this capability ...

Advanced Materials Technology, Inc responds to the NASA solicitation Topic X9 entitled "Propulsion and Propellant Storage" under subtopic X9.01, "Long Term Cryogenic Propellant Storage, Management, and Acquisition". The proposed Phase II program will focus on developing new multifunctional insulation materials that will impact cryogenic systems for space transportation orbit transfer vehicles, sp ...

The objective of this program is to develop a hybrid Lidar-radar receiver to efficiently recover and process the radar sub-carrier from a modulated pulsed optical signal in the presence of high levels of optical clutter reaching the receiver just prior to the signal of interest. The receiver will ultimately be used with modulated (0.5 – 1.0 GHz) blue-green pulsed lasers and is required to have a ...

Advanced Technologies Group, Inc. (ATG) proposes to develop an innovative High Powered Ram-Air-Turbine (HiRAT) capable of producing over 60kw of power at an air speed of 250 knots. During Phase I ATG will design, analyze and test a scaled turbine to determine feasibility. Preliminary analysis indicates that the ATG HiRAT is far superior to existing conventional turbine designs on several levels.

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term objective of this project is to develop a tumor-targeted TCR-IL2 fusion protein, ALT-801, as an immunotherapeutic for treatment of p53-positive cancers. The TCR portion of this fusion protein is specific for a peptide derived from the tumor-associated protein p53 presented in the context of HLA- A2.1. This high-affinity TCR is designed to guide th ...
