Bulk InAs(x)Sb(1-x) is an infrared detector material that promises higher quantum efficiency than antimony-based superlattices in the longwave infrared (LWIR). This is due to the longer diffusion length of minority carrier holes in the bulk than in superlattices where they are localized. No native substrate exists for lattice-matched growth of InAs(x)Sb(1-x) material with LWIR bandgaps. So a key c ...

The objective of this project is to commercialize the Dual Band Extended Depth of Field Telescope System that is an innovative optical detection and imaging system that allows battlefield imaging through smoke, dust and fog obscurants in the 10 micron wavelength range. The system employs a dual band, multi-mode, diffraction-limited, infrared and visible telescope that can operate either in a passi ...

AdveNSys will develop a suite of products to provide new orthotic and prosthetic options for people with lower limb dysfunction or lower limb amputation. We will enhance our biologically-inspired adaptive neuromorphic control systems technology and integrate it with biomorphic compliant actuators, advanced sensor systems, and lightweight orthotic/prosthetic components to produce a suite of produc ...

The development of a rapid and accurate personal identification system improves our nation’s capability in identifying potential terrorists and provides the most reliable means for securing government or private industry’s confidential or classified secrets. However, single biometric based applications have not been widely deployed due to the variation in accuracy and their inability to preve ...

The goal of this proposal is to advance the state-of-the-art in malware detectors, and thereby offer protection against next-generation malicious code. Currently, malware detectors - in the form of commercial virus scanners - are an important component in the defense of computer systems. We propose to build on a technique that has demonstrated its ability to detect malware in the presence of commo ...

Scientists and engineers use computer simulation to model the behavior of physical phenomena. These simulation techniques often produce prodigious amounts of output data. In order to view results, interactive visualization is used since it provides the ability to visually inspect data and interactively query particular values. However, the size of data is becoming large enough to challenge the ab ...

MesoScribe Technologies and project partner SUNY-Stony Brook will develop embedded sensors with integrated mechanics-based models to assess and predict accumulated damage in graphite reinforced epoxy composite structures. Meaningful evaluation schemes for composite degradation will be developed using advanced interpretation procedures based on inverse analysis techniques. This novel approach is ...
