During the phase I effort, Semandex Networks and its team designed and implemented a proof-of-concept cloud-based application for knowledge navigation and document discovery that combines powerful text analytics with an intuitive UI. The prototype capability is poised to transform current data archival systems into meaningful connected information. The proof-of-concept prototype developed during t ...

Maxentric’s solution provides multi-level security and information flow control with cell level encryption for existing relational databases. At the tactical edge, access to advanced cloud based services such Apache Accumulo may not be possible. The novel database solution allows these types of services to be deployed in any point of the network, but also to be integrated in already existing app ...

The development of a see-through Augmented Reality (AR) prototype to create realistic simulated human avatar overlays in lieu of standard silhouette representations offers the potential to revolutionize basic rifle marksmanship training. This technology used in coordination with a Location of Miss or Hit (LOMAH) on a live fire range supports consistent target representation independent of terrain ...

This proposed Phase-II SBIR project is concerned with the design and development of a fast, high-performance, portable, field-operable chemical-biological imaging-sensing system, which consists of a spectrometer and a “system-on-a-chip” data acquisition, processing, and analysis unit. The proposed system will possess a significantly enhanced ability to detect and selectively analyze chemical a ...

This Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Phase II project aims to investigate and experiment on several aspects in the development of a multi-sensor system for the autonomous characterization of indoor building environments. The system involves nodes with diverse sensing capabilities, the transport of data through a mesh network, and the fusion of sensor data to generate building characteriz ...

We will develop a dual-functionality laser system that enables precise tissue imaging (diagnostic mode), and ultra-precise tissue excision, down to the cellular level (surgical mode). For diagnostics, the laser operates in the near-infrared, enabling opto

In recent years, mobile ad-hoc networks have received considerable attention due to their capabilities to enable data networking without any infrastructure support. However, the nodes use wireless radios with limited bandwidth and typically high loss rate

In Phase I (11/20/06 to 5/19/07), One-Cycle Control (OCC), Inc. is fabricating a 15kVA Power Electronics Controls & Conditioning (PECC) system for power dense, hybrid, load-following power systems that can deliver high-quality 120/208Vac 3-Phase output at 50Hz, 60Hz, or 400Hz. The OCC-PECC achieves high-efficiency active conversion of 3-phase AC power, over a wide voltage and frequency range, enab ...

Fast, accurate computational models of rotary-wing aerodynamics and dynamics are critical for the analysis and design of rotorcraft. To address this need, the U.S. Army has developed the Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis System, RCAS, which has state-of-the-art computational structural dynamics (CSD) modeling. In complementary work, Continuum Dynamics, Inc., (CDI), has developed a collection of ...

Boron nanotubes have been predicted to have uniquely properties that are rather different than the carbon nanotubes especially their mechanical and electrical properties. At present time limited experimental work has been done to produce boron nanotubes in large scale and their applications are in very early stage of development. In the Phase I we started synthesizing boron nanomaterial and charac ...
