Algorithm Performance Evaluation with Low Sample Size
SBC: SIGNATURE RESEARCH, INC. Topic: NGA20C001The team of Signature Research, Inc. and Michigan Technological University will develop and demonstrate methods and metrics to evaluate the performance of machine learning-based computer vision algorithms with low numbers of samples of labeled EO imagery. We will use the existing xView panchromatic dataset to demonstrate a proof-of-concept set of tools. If successful, in Phase II, we will extend t ...

Thermal Emission Control using Photonic Crystals
SBC: PSQUAREDT LLC Topic: HR001120S001925To achieve the requisite fast, dynamic thermal switching times, we postulate the use of a Photonic Crystal (PC) filament operating at l=1-2mm. Our electrically biased PC design will be super thin to allow for fast on-off intensity-switching. It will have a small thermal mass and exhibit laser-like input-output characteristics, i.e. “Planck laser”. We will provide a theoretical framework for ou ...

Tunable Thermal Emissivity of 2D Material Devices
SBC: SIVANANTHAN LABORATORIES, INC. Topic: HR001120S001925Sivananthan Laboratories in collaboration with the University of Illinois at Chicago and the University of Central Florida propose to model absorption in two dimensional materials and develop designs with structured materials for the amplitude modulation of emissivity. The optical simulations—with commercial COMSOL code--will be used in the calculation of the electric field distribution in the s ...

Natural Rubber Production
SBC: American Sustainable Rubber Company, LLC Topic: ST18C001Rubber is pervasive in our economy, with over 50,000 products requiring natural rubber (NR), including military grade tires. Yet significant global shortfalls are projected. Rubber dandelion (Taraxacum kok-saghyz) produces natural rubber (cis-1,4, -polyisoprene) in root latex vessels (laticifers) almost identical to rubber from the tropical rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). Problem: Cost-effective ...

Computational Biology Platform Technology for Cellular Reprogramming
SBC: IREPROGRAM, LLC Topic: ST17C001Methods for interconversion between cell types (cellular reprogramming) are currently discovered through resource intensive trial and error. Experiments may test a multitude of transcription factors to identify correct combinations that influence cell fate. In addition, reprogramming approaches commonly use stem cell intermediates such as induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which are generated ...
