Chip-scale Large-aperture, Ultrawide-angle LiDAR
SBC: 2PI INC Topic: T8In this program, we aim to pioneer a chip-scale packaged platform to enable efficient coupling from single-mode photonic integrated circuits (PICs) to a large-area (several millimeters in diameter or larger), diffraction-limited beam in response to Topic T8.07 Photonic Integrated Circuits. We further aim to leverage this technology to realize a chip-scale optical engine for light detection and ran ...

Curating Uncertainty for Reliable Exploitation and Collaboration (CURE-C)
SBC: XANALYTIX SYSTEMS LLC Topic: T10Incomplete, noisy, or otherwise uncertain data is the way it is, no purely computational method can magically fix it. Numerous techniques developed by the database and programming languages communities exist to help users cope with uncertain data. Specifically, these tools allow users to define business logic over uncertain (i.e., incomplete, possibilistic, or probabilistic) data as if it were ide ...
