Intellite, Incorporated will team with the Optical Sciences Center at the University of Arizona to develop an adaptive optics system that will project a diffraction-limited spot on the retina by pre-correcting the laser beam for all significant optical aberrations of the specific eyeball under test. The system will use real-time feedback from a low-power laser reflected from the retina to measure ...

The U.S. poultry industry produces more than 45 billion pounds of poultry annually. A majority of this production is from concentrated animal feeding operations. In a modern poultry growing facility, small chicks are raised in several large houses that typically cover over 20,000 ft2. Starting with each grow-out period, fresh wood mulch bedding material is spread over the house floor. Over the co ...

The U.S. poultry industry produces more than 45 billion pounds of poultry annually. A majority of this production is from concentrated animal feeding operations. In a modern poultry growing facility, small chicks are raised in several large “houses” that typically cover over 20,000 ft2. Starting with each grow-out period, fresh wood mulch bedding material is spread over the house floor. Ove ...

With new weapons such as high-power microwaves and nuclear-tipped hypersonic cruise missiles now being tested and potentially deployed by Russia and China, and the threats posed by North Korea and Iran, the Air Force requires aeroshell materials with improved EMI/EMP and HEMP shielding effectiveness (SE) and radiation hardening. The proposed research by Goodman Technologies, Nuclear Radiation Hard ...

There is a need for new technologies to control restaurant emissions. There are more than 870,000 restaurants in the United States. Most of these restaurants have under-fired charbroilers, creating a significant amount of particulate matter (PM) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that have been classified as health and environmental hazards by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Alt ...

As stated in the EPA 2004 Solicitation topic B1, there is a need for new technologies to control restaurant emissions. There are over 870,000 restaurants in the United States. Most of these restaurants have under-fired charbroiler creating a significant amount of partifculate matter and volatile organic compouns which have been determined health and environmental hazareds by the EPA. Although s ...

Future U.S. Information Systems will be subject to increased attacks. These attacks will come from both internal and external threats. As reflected by the budgets for combating these threats, external cyber threats are assumed to be more likely. By comparison, internal threats to cyber networks from U.S. personnel receive little attention; yet, the consequences can be even more devastating. Al ...

Military network environments will be subject to both internal and external threats for the foreseeable future. Internal threats to cyber networks from U.S. personnel receive little attention in comparison to external threats; yet, the consequences can be even more devastating. The lack of tools for understanding insider threat, analyzing risk mitigation alternatives, and communicating results e ...

This Direct-to-Phase II proposal encompasses the refinement, demonstration, and commercialization of the TRL 7 Acclimate technology suite in relevant environments through final requirements identification, engineering refinement, integrated testing and ev

MSI has a rich history of developing innovations in hardware and software for integrated health managemen with advanced Bayesian modeling and simulation.  This powerful technology can be adapted and enhanced for assessing payload performance, component capabilities, and situational self awareness.  We propose a new approach to sensor payload health management modeling that is based Cognitive Bay ...
