This effort develops automatic detection of malicious binary code based on syntax-independent logical control flow patterns. Control flow patterns yield specific detectable signatures that can be extracted from binary code. Because they are based on functional control flow, these signatures also discriminate the kinds of behavior a binary can perform; furthermore, these signatures are independen ...

This effort will develop a capability for automated modification of binary code based on canonical algorithm patterns of control flows. Since these methods are based on control flow, they are OS and language independent. The methods offer a path towards building operating systems that are self-repairing and can immunized against malicious behavior. This effort will develop methods to automate in ...

As a cost avoidance measure against expensive replacement of certain life-limiting components of turbine engines, the Engine Rotor Life Extension (ERLE) program was conceived by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to extend component life without increasing the risk of component failure. Nondestructive evaluation is one of many important components of ERLE which, if successfully implemented, ...

The objective of this Phase I effort is to design and simulate an innovative optical architecture for true, interactive-rate holographic video. Our novel technique takes a contrarian approach to existing multi-view and holographic video systems, which are typically crippled by "jailbar" dark regions, limited viewing zones, and image distortions arising from rendering techniques not intended for m ...

The goal of this proposal is to develop a feed back controlled combustion process for high power density, near stoichiometric air/fuel ratio diesel engines, capable of running on multi-fuels, with superior cold start capability. The company, its advisors and suppliers will introduce new innovative concepts to achieve the goal of delivering power greater than 1 hp/lb. Adrenaline Research has deve ...

In this Phase I STTR program, Advanced Ceramics Research Inc. (ACR) and its university partner successfully developed and optimized a novel, low-cost, micro/milli-channel heat exchanger system for high power electronic applications for the Navy and other DoD applications. ACR used the extrusion freeform fabrication process to create the novel heat exchange structures. The samples were tested in si ...

Advanced Ceramics Research, Inc. (ACR) proposes to develop novel intermetallic composite systems for high strength materials capable of releasing energy on demand. This effort will combine our Fibrous Monolith (FM) processing expertise and new approaches in intermetallic design to develop a new generation of cost-efficient, high strength and reactive composites. The proposed material system will ...

In this phase I SBIR program, Advanced Ceramics Research, Inc. (ACR) proposes the development of an innovative, one-step co-curing fabrication process for sandwich composite structures with a flexible insulating material encapsulated by an fiberglass/epoxy face sheet for thermal and acoustic barrier applications. The flexible insulating material has excellent thermal and acoustic properties, is c ...

Advanced Ceramics Research (ACR) will identify, evaluate and select the most promising technologies for a high stiffness, stable and healthy ceramic or ceramic composite material for the replacement of beryllia and beryllium in structural application such as mirror substrates, electrical and electronic substrate materials. As a part of the identification and selection of the most promising techno ...

Advanced Ceramics Research Inc., (ACR) will collaborate with Professor Ted Krauthammer Director, Protective Technology Center, Penn State University, to screen materials, design and validate a ballistic vessel capable of safely containing detonation of a 2000lb bomb for a minimum container mass and size. This proposal will assess new technologies and new state-of-the-art materials, and through a ...
