  3. Electron Emission from Microfabricated Porous Silicon Carbide Structures: Advancing a NIST-Patented Technology

    SBC: JULIA JEAN, LLC            Topic: 7

    A decade ago, scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology invented an electron field emitter with the potential to disrupt the state of the art of imaging and communications systems. NIST showed that these devices, comprising nanoporous silicon carbide structures of various hierarchical shapes, can emit electrons from their surfaces purely by application of an electric field. ...

  4. A Low-cost Portable Short Wavelength Infrared Spectrometer

    SBC: STRATIO INC            Topic: 2

    Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) technology has the ability to make characteristics of objects that are invisible to the naked eye visible. However, the widespread use of this technology has been hindered by the high cost and complicated interface of existing technology. Stratio, Inc. (Stratio)’s portable spectrometer Linksquare has integrated various elements into a single component from hardware to a ...

  5. Digital TV-based Positioning for First Responder Tracking in GPS-Denied Environments

    SBC: TIAMI LLC            Topic: 1

    Real-time tracking of the position of first responders in indoor environments without Global Positioning System (GPS) coverage or other predeployed infrastructure is a challenging task. In this SBIR Phase I effort, Tiami LLC proposes the use of public digital TV (DTV) stations as positioning beacons for three-dimensional indoor tracking in GPS-denied environments. DTV stations provide near-ubiquit ...

  6. Real-Time Thickness Measurement Technology for Process Control of Coating Manufacturing

    SBC: SOLUTION SPRAY TECHNOLOGIES LLC            Topic: 2

    Highly engineered ceramic coatings, called thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), have been used for many years in the gas turbine industry, and more recently, in internal combustion engines for automotive, truck, and construction vehicle applications. These coatings increase the performance and durability of the engines. The gas turbine industry has shown that coating thickness variations are major sou ...

  9. Graphical Methods for Discovering Structure and Context in Large Datasets

    SBC: MAYACHITRA, INC.            Topic: NGA203005

    The ubiquity of image sensors for data collection creates a glut of data, which leads to bottlenecks in the processing capabilities of modern systems. In order to process this data, meticulously labeled datasets are required and that must be reviewed by humans in order to guarantee state-of-the-art performance. In this effort we endeavor to create a system that can automatically exploit salient in ...

  10. Dynamic Parameter Selection for Community Detection Algorithms (Graph Networks)

    SBC: Arete Associates            Topic: NGA212002

    In the pattern of life problem space, data is often represented via mathematical graphs, in which a variety of algorithms may be employed to conduct semi-autonomous analysis. While successful empirical application of graph-domain algorithms on ABI problems has been achieved, most of these algorithms require a tuning parameter, which is often set heuristically in real-world scenarios. Arete has dev ...
