The overall goal of this SBIR project is to develop, fabricate, and test a fully enzymatic fuel cell capable of continuously producing electrical energy to power an implantable neurostimulator. Neurostimulation technology can dramatically improve the qua

This Small Business Innovation Research project will develop a next-generation plasma design tool using adaptive kinetic and fluid models for modern heterogeneous computing architectures. The new tool will have a) ability to dynamically switch between flu

The importance of graph applications is growing as society becomes more interconnected. Many real world datasets are best modeled as graphs, e.g., road networks, the Internet, social networks, protein-protein interactions, utility grids, and communication. Graph analytics are used to answer many different categories of questions, including traversal, querying, and data mining. It is often desirabl ...

Cellular automata are computer-theoretical models originally developed by computing pioneer John von Neumann in 1950s to study self-reproduction computing machines. Cellular automata are massively parallel, regularly connected and allow only local data exchanges between cells. Cellular automata computation models map perfectly to modern many-core computing hardware. Opportunities have arrived to ...

The proposed product will provide extreme performance on large graph data sets by developing novel support for well known graph frameworks on edge-of-the-art GPU architectures that include innovative stacked memory. This provides an ultra-high bandwidth (over 1 TB/s) and large (16+ GB) memory near the GPU processing cores. These advancements provide an enormous opportunity to leverage GPUs for ext ...

CRG proposes to evaluate MG resin systems for use in primary launch vehicle composites utilizing low-cost, unitized manufacturing processes facilitated by Smart Tooling and NONA Composite technology. In Phase I, CRG will work with Firefly Space Systems to identify key components where MG resin systems coupled with the unique manufacturing processes would provide the highest value in terms of cost ...

Optonicus, in collaboration with the University of Dayton has demonstrated the feasibility of a new Scalable Adaptive Fiber-Array Elements (SAFARE) phased fiber-array beam director architecture in Phase I to address the DoD need for HEL directed energy systems. The SAFARE system integrates a new high fill factor fiber-array architecture with novel imaging, sensing, and control capabilities that en ...

Remote field seismic or vibrations sensors typically use solar power or batteries to power operations. DARPA has identified the need to augment or replace these power sources with a device that produces power independent of solar energy. Specifically, DDARPA is searching for new low power device technology that harvests energy from existing field environments. AZ Technology's novel concept is d ...

The proposed experimental program demonstrates the technical feasibility of creating near-net shape single crystal components of technologically important ceramics. We propose to fabricate a near-net shape single crystal multilayer electrostrictive displacement actuator using a combination of the solid state method and advanced ceramics processing. The near net shape single crystal multilayer el ...
