The Problem: Cooling suits are used for Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) decontamination applications, as well as normal ground aircraft maintenance operations, firefighting, law enforcement, and even recreation in hot climates. Current suits use liquid ice water to either drip through or be pumped through a web-like full-body suit. These ...

The extreme operating environment and high performance requirements of space vehicles and structures necessitate designs that simultaneously optimize mass efficiency and reliability. These criteria are in direct opposition since reliability comes with a weight penalty and, conversely, extreme mass efficiency leads to reduced reliability. These conflicting goals, in the unforgiving, expensive ope ...

  Curley Enterprises’ FrostyFlake solution is an AI-powered, geographically dispersed weather monitoring algorithm that utilizes available camera networks and publicly available data streams from weather monitoring stations, satellites, radar, and forecas

A software package known as Anomaly Detection Actively ProTecting-Security (ADAPT-Security) is proposed to detect anomalies in multivariate time series and perform diagnostics for observed anomalous patterns. The algorithms are designed to be implementabl

Robust and accurate measurement of unsteady surface pressure distribution is important for the characterization, modeling, prediction, and control of unsteady aerodynamics in today’s agile aircraft systems. Time-resolved unsteady pressure measurement at a large number of ports (on the order of 100s) with high accuracy and high reliability during wind tunnel and flight test applications has ...
