This Phase II effort prototypes a minimal volume microscope designed to allow for a 2-D digital holographic imaging concurrent with field of view spectral content at video frame rates. The use of a laser driven IR dual beam frequency comb, coincident with the optical beam path required for a digital holographic image, will allow rapid acquisition of both the spatial and the spectral content associ ...

In this effort, NuSpot Technologies, LLC proposes the development of a cost-effective, self-contained and easy to manufacture Superresolving Phase Filter capable of generating a sub-wavelength scale, or “superresolved,” spot of electromagnetic radiation that can be customized to operate at a given target wavelength in the IR, Vis, or UV. Successful completion of this SBIR project will enable: ...

Over a decade ago, security practitioners highlighted threats posed by memory corruption exploits subverting systems through manipulation of security-critical non-control-data — without ever corrupting application control-flow. Since that demonstration, however, the full power of data-oriented attacks went largely unnoticed until very recently. One reason for this recent emergence is that exploi ...

AT PRESENT THE PROBLEMS OF OBTAINING A LOW COST, HIGH EFFICIENCY LEGGED VEHICLE ARE HAMPERING THE DEVELOPMENT OF TRULY MOBIL, INTELLIGENT ROBOTS, CAPABLE OF LOCOMOTION SIMILAR TO OR SURPASSING THAT OF HUMANS. THESE ROBOTS COULD IDEALLY BE SUITED FOR USE IN AN ENVIRONMENT TOO HAZARDOUS FOR HUMANS, SUCH AS REACTOR CAVITIES IN THE NUCLEAR PLANTS WHERE LEVEL OF BACKGROUND RADIATION IS EXTREMELY HIGH O ...
