A Category-theoretic Tool for Manufacturing Information Integration
SBC: CATEGORICAL INFORMATICS, INC. Topic: 90101Category theory has recently been successfully applied to translate information from one computer system to another. Researchers at MIT have developed a prototype software tool based on category theory for solving information-integration programs. The tool has successfully solved small-scale information-integration problems including a problem identified by NIST about enriching the manufacturing s ...

Advanced Tactile Sensing for Dexterous Robot Hands in Industrial Automation and Assembly
SBC: Syntouch L.L.C. Topic: N/ARobotic actuators exceed human speed, accuracy, and strength, but human hands are regarded as the ultimate in dexterity. We propose this is due absent human-like tactile sensing and intelligent reflexive behaviors in robots. We’ve created multimodal compliant tactile sensors that mimic the sensory ability of the human fingertip and algorithms that fill this absence. In this research we will inte ...

Air Movement Efficiency Monitor
SBC: XCSPEC, Inc. Topic: 90403The Air Movement Efficiency Monitor is composed of small, inexpensive Micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) sensors, connected wirelessly to the Internet, and distributed through a building to measure pressure readings at key points. We consider this a “FitBit” for a building’s air-movement efficiency, employing many of the sensors used by a fitbit – temperature, humidity, acceleration. We ...

Bragg Grating Enhanced Narrowband Single Photon SPDC Source
SBC: Gener8, LLC Topic: N/ASpontaneous Parametric Down Conversion (SPDC) is currently an active research area in quantum communications (QC) to develop entangled single photon sources. However, the bandwidth of current SPDC sources is too broad for many applications. NIST researchers have modeled a solution to this problem that reduces the bandwidth by >50. We propose to fabricate a prototype of the NIST device by developin ...

Compact Raman Fiber Optic Probe with Inline Spectral Filtering
SBC: NIKIRA LABS INC. Topic: NAIn this SBIR effort, Nikira Labs Inc. proposes to develop a compact Raman fiber optic probe with inline spectral filtering that improves fiber-coupled Raman measurements by filtering out Raman scattering from the excitation fiber and elastically scattered laser light from the collection fibers. The technology will enable compact fiber probes for Raman studies and complement existing NIST Raman spe ...

Cryptographics Acceleration for Border Gateway Protocol Security (CaBGPSEC)
SBC: ANTARA TEKNIK LLC Topic: 9020177RCurrent Border Gateway System (GBP) does not include provisions for security features and is vulnerable to malicious attacks targeting the control plane. The Internet Engineering Taskforce is developing BGPSEC (BGP with Security) to provide path security for BGP route advertisements. The extension is meant to provide resiliency against route hijacks and Autonomous System (AS) path modifications. ...
