The highest available operating temperature for magnet wire is 240 degrees C. As electromagnetic performance is directly related to the density of winding turns times the operating current, the maximum operating temperature of magnet wire is the largest single constraint to advancements in high performance and high temperature electronics. It

Timely gathering and sharing of intelligence information is vital to the efficient execution of military missions. Much of the information collected in the field is impossible to exploit quickly because it is in hardcopy form, and handwritten. A mobile application that is capable of capturing handwritten documents and quickly converting the document image to electronic text will fill a critical ne ...

This proposal investigates methods for graphene synthesis on Si (001) orientated substrates to enable high-volume production of graphene transistors and circuits. The proposed approach to generate a surface with the proper symmetry for graphene epitaxy is to deposit symmetry transformation layers (STL) of hexagonal-symmetry materials onto Si (001) substrates that will either facilitate the direct ...

iFyber LLC proposal define a novel solution for the Point-of-Care diagnostics market. Traditional In-Vitro Diagnostic testing most often requires multiple steps (sample purification and analyte separation, analyte concentration/amplification, and detection) to achieve even qualitative levels of detection. iFyber proposes to develop and commercialize an entirely new paradigm in the POC diagnostic ...

In this project Optofluidics, Inc. proposes to develop a"CLIA waivable"sample collection method for the concentration and quantification of blood-borne biomarkers associated with late phase hemorrhagic shock and traumatic brain injury. The sample collection technology is based on (1) a finger prick based assay, (2) a multistage packed bead filtration system, and (3) a novel"nanofluidic collapse" ...

The recent disclosure of sensitive and classified government documents through WikiLeaks demonstrates a new systemic threat, exfiltration and broad global broadcast of government confidential data and information. We propose to develop techniques and mechanisms for identifying likely malicious insiders within an organization by leveraging automatically generated misinformation and modern system an ...

In this project we will develop a framework for and demonstrate the feasibility of a neural signal processing system for informing cognitive models. Specifically, we will use single-trial analysis of EEG to inform a cognitive model of socio-cultural behavior. Our framework will include 1) a methodology for mapping characteristics of neural signals to cortical processes and cognitive modules, 2) a ...

The objective of proposed Phase II project is to develop multi-junction Graetzel cells using a cost effective, single layer metamaterial light harvesting template into which, up to four different sets of wavelength-selective ruthenium dye complexes are deposited. The light harvesting template performs three roles: (1) spectral band splitting of the incident solar spectrum into different cavities ...

Several concerns currently inflate the time and cost of integrating heterogeneous data resources and impose a barrier to superior knowledge of the urban battle-space. Mashalator semi-automatically integrates heterogeneous battlefield information sources for the urban war-fighter and enables the execution of coherent queries over the integrated sources. Mashalator Phase II will leverage civilian-fa ...

ReliaCoat Technologies, LLC a spin-off from Stony Brook University in partnership with Argonne Labs and Stony Brook University proposes a two pronged approach to address requirements of developing coating integrity monitoring tools for thermal sprayed amorphous corrosion and wear resistant coatings. For successful implementation of these coatings on ship-deck surfaces, it is critical ensure that c ...
