Generalized change detection is a critical capability to mitigate the need for massive human inspection of the rapidly expanding volume ofglobal overhead satellite imagery. Current optical change detection approaches focus on fully specified systems to detect a predefined set ofchanges, and effective approaches for generalized change detection have not yet been demonstrated. We propose to build a ...

Through previous research and development, the team created a teacher platform that suggests research-based strategies for supporting students with special needs or targeted skill gaps. This project will develop a prototype of a dashboard for teachers to create, access, and track student's Individual Educational Plans (IEPs). At the end of Phase I, in a pilot study with six middle school special e ...

Through a previous grant award from the U.S. Department of Education, researchers developed Read for Success, an intervention designed to stem the summer slide among struggling readers. This project will develop a prototype of Mix Libris, an Augmented Reality (AR) enhanced mobile literacy platform designed to support and motivate grade 3 students in acquiring and improving literacy skills. Mix Lib ...

Through previous grant awards from IES and the National Science Foundation and an ED/IES SBIR award, researchers developed a virtual laboratory with performance-based simulations aligned to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) in physical, life, and earth science for middle school, as well as a dashboard to provide teachers real-time formative and summative assessment reports on students doing ...

Ground vehicles with navigation capability (e.g., GPS) can index into foundation data (e.g., Google Maps) to gain situational awareness abouttheir surroundings. When GPS and RF navigation sources are degraded, maintaining situational awareness requires an alternative navigationsource. One alternative source is the foundation data itself. The data contain objects at known 3D locations, which projec ...

With the increasing complexity of the modern semiconductor supply chain and increasing prevalence of the fabless manufacturing model, the hardware security and design integrity of integrated circuits are threatened by untrusted components such as hardware Trojans. BlueRISC proposes an automated EDA toolkit that utilizes existing Design-For-Testability (DFT) structures (e.g. scan-chains) to enable ...

In the next generation of photonic systems, U.S. civilian and defense industries look towards new plasmonic, nonlinear photonic devices, network-compatible for unprecedented functionalities in high bandwidth data handling, switching and signal processing, beam steering, biophotonic sensors and quantum computers. In this Phase I SBIR Triton Systems will demonstrate the use of phase change materials ...
