AccessData is proposing enhancements to its Distributed Network Attack (DNA)product to increase the functionality which will increase the number of workstations that can participate in the system; from approximately 1,000 to potentially 1,000,000 workstations. This will be accomplished by coupling its world class password attack technology with a proven open source desktop grid computing infrastru ...

This STTR Phase II project will develop commercially viable atomic force microscope (AFM) probes fabricated from ultrananocrystalline diamond. The project will refine the processes developed in Phase I and bring contact and non-contact all-diamond probes to market. Probes using conducting diamond that are chemically and electronically tunable and have superb tribological properties will also be d ...

INFORMATION USE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A KEY FACTOR IN ENHANCING COMPETITIVENESS OF THE NATION'S INDUSTRIES. THE RESEARCH PROPOSED WOULD RIGOROUSLY EVALUATE CURRENT IMPEDIMENTS TO EFFECTIVE USE, DEFINE POTENTIAL ECONOMIC VALUE OF ENHANCED USE, AND EXPLORE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR COMPUTERIZED DECISION AIDS TO INCREASE INFORMATION EFFECTIVENESS IN DECISIONMAKING. THESE GOALS WOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR TH ...

This SBIR Phase II project aims to develop a commercial grade optical probe and system for FDA clinical trials and subsequent commercialization of a population-wide colon cancer screening test. An interdisciplinary research team of engineers, biologists, and clinicians has developed low-coherence enhanced backscattering (LEBS), an optical technique which enables sensing tissue microarchitectural c ...

SUPERCONDUCTING HEAVY-ION BOOSTERS ARE LIMITED IN THEIR MASS RANGE BY THE VELOCITY ACCEPTANCE OF THE RESONATORS IN THEIR FIRST SECTIONS. A NEED HAS ARISEN TO DO NUCLEAR PHYSICS IN MASS RANGES INACCESSIBLE WITH EXISTING ACCELERATING STRUCTURES. THE END PRODUCT THAT WOULD RESULT FROM THIS RESEARCH IS AN ACCELERATING RESONATOR WITH AN UPPER MASS ACCEPTANCE 50% LARGER THAN EXISTING STRUCTURES. OUR EXP ...

INTEREST IN GALIUM ARSENIDE (GAAS) INTEGRATED CIRCUITS (IC) GROWING RAPIDLY BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY FASTAND RESISTANT TO RADIATION. HOWEVER, SOME SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS ARE STILL OF CONCERN. FIRST, THE INCREASED SPEED OF THIS TECHNOLOGY HAS LEAD TO TIMING PROBLEMS IN CIRCUIT DESIGN. WITH THIS TECH- NOLOGY THE GATE SWITCHING SPEEDS HAVE BEEN INCREASED TO WHERE THEY CAN BE EQUIVALENT TO THE WIRE TRANSMI ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project developes methods to molecularly abort sorghum embryos, early in their development, to redirect nutrients, normally used for embryo development, toward starch accumulation. The research will construct and test genetic cassettes necessary for aborting embryo development in seeds and identify sorghum lines possessing high tissue culture regener ...

This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project aims to apply the unique property of high-speed jets to adhere to nearby curved surfaces, with a turning radius much larger than the size of the jet - the so-called COANDA effect. The proposed research aims to take advantage of this effect to manipulate thermal spray jet stream and vector the stream such that the hot thermal gas stream ...

The proposed Phase I research will design and develop innovative technologies for the deployment of training and educational content to multiple platforms and realtime decision support, just in time learning, and adaptive training. Prototypes will include reuse of PACERs homeland security educational training content and deploy them on an iPhoneiPod Touch and integrated voice response system. This ...
