Today, urban underground spaces are shared by multiple utility companies for laying power lines, gas lines, water supply/sewage pipes, fiber-optic cables, etc. The recordings of such buried utilities are often erroneous, inadequate, or outdated (if they ever exist) due to insufficient surveying methodologies and as-built recording practices. Ability to accurately locate and provide awareness of bu ...

Planned or unplanned traffic events, such as work zones, collision accidents, sporting games and stormy/snowy weather, arise along our roadway systems and affect normal traffic operations. These anomaly events cause various magnitude of traffic congestion and safety impact to road users. Thus, local or regional Traffic Management Centers (TMCs) have spent tremendous amount of resources responding ...

To keep drivers and passengers of vehicles safe, especially in rural areas with limited access to Information and Communications Technology (ICT), the DOT and the commercial automotive industry are keenly interested in machine vision based V2I and CAV technology to perform functions such as navigating assistance in areas where GPS or detailed maps are unavailable, caution and warning systems capab ...

This effort will build upon our state-of-the-art technology for real-time human state assessment and rely on the expertise and existing sociometric data provided by JHU. Phase I will demonstrate the utility of social context factors in predicting the current and future state of a team and its members and will pave the way for Phase II development and comprehensive evaluation.

In this program, Morton Photonics (MP) and its STTR partner Professor John Bowers and his research group at the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) will develop two truly disruptive integrated laser devices: (1) A broadly tunable integrated laser with ultra-low linewidth, ultra-low relative intensity noise (RIN), and high output power; the Integrated Coherent Tunable Laser (ICTL), whi ...

The current seL4 ecosystem is centered on a wiki and github that are maintained by NICTA and Data61 (a commercial spin-off organization of NICTA). Many branches and forks of the seL4 code base are publicly accessible, but often orphaned and outdated. Additionally, the major training and education efforts are mainly offered and managed by Data61. However, due to geographical distance from the Unite ...

The goal of this SBIR project is to develop plug-and-play query-based platform that provides a general and scalable solution to CAD-CAE and CAE-CAE interoperability problems. The approach is based on the following observations: (1) the shape and material information in any CAD model may be abstracted by a finite collection of queries -- formally defined and computable functions -- that eliminate t ...

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a shockingly common clinical sleep disorder that has systemic and devastating health consequences. OSA affects nearly 30 million Americans, and is also highly prevalent in active duty military personnel with nearly 225,000 cases diagnosed between 2004 and 2016. Current treatment methods for OSA are cumbersome and often discarded by patients. Untreated OSA has been ...

Servicemembers post-concussion often suffer from dizziness, visual blurring and balance problems, similar to civilian persons with vestibular disorders. This results in slower reaction times, decreased productivity (in the form of lost duty days) and nega

An ideal therapeutic for traumatic brain injury (TBI) accompanied by hemorrhagic shock (HS) should serve both as a resuscitation fluid to restore perfusion pressure while directly protecting the brain from secondary injury. Previous work in mice demonstra
