The Joint Battlespace Infosphere (JBI) program needs an object repository for secure, reliable storage and retrieval of JBI objects. ATC-NY will construct ORIS, a peer-to-peer object repository suitable for the JBI. Self-organizing peer-to-peer networkshave proven to be robust and scalable to very large numbers of nodes and objects. However, current peer-to-peer substrates are not suitable for ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will develop a ceramic hydrogen fuel appliance (CHFA) using ceramic microreactor modules (CMMs) using a low-cost, net-shape manufacturing process, and a new material, that was developed in the Phase I project. The new material developed was demonstrated to have excellent capability for cost-effective microfabri ...

Moore's law states that computing performance doubles every 18 months. While this has held true for 40 years, it is widely believed that this will soon come to an end. Increases in performance coincide with decreases in scale on the computer platform. Dueto the small scale of computer components, both interference effects are starting to play a role in the development of new components. This impli ...

This proposal describes the design and creation of an interface for controlling multiple UAVs in a real-time situation. Named the Uninhabited Air Vehicle Management Interface (UAVMI), it is centered on a 3-dimensional graphical representation of theoperational geographic area. The operator is able to move a 3D cursor around within this geographic volume, selecting groups, paths, and targets in 3D ...

Clear Science Corp. and Syracuse University propose to demonstrate the feedback control technologies they developed during Phase I in a series of coordinated Phase II computational and experimental tests. The Phase II objective is validated software thatintegrates reduced-model simulations, CFD simulations, and experimental data into a package for designing fixed-wing aircraft flow control systems ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II Project proposes to develop the database and associated software to enable analysis of protein trafficking and localization. The system will be designed to enable drug discovery researchers to identify, elucidate, eliminate and design leads and targets, while facilitating the general training of researchers. During the Phase I work, proteins ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will develop and evaluate a delivery platform for interactive rich media and effective simulation-based e-learning. The platform will interface with learning content authoring and management systems that are scaleable to commercial operation without further development. Interoperability is achieved through verified compliance with t ...

Information extraction (IE) systems assist analysts to assimilate information from electronic documents. This task will develop an automated, domain porting toolkit for customizing a generic IE system for a specific domain. Customization is required atvarious levels: (i) lexicon, (ii) glossaries of names of people, organizations, locations, (iii) relationships between key entities, e.g. an orga ...

The goal for Phase II is to develop tools that provide significant improvements in automated database generation from imagery. These tools will focus on the automatic removal of time-specific artifacts including shadows and vehicles. They will also beused to extract information from the image to generate and insert correlated 3D cultural models such as building, trees, and other objects into the ...

The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is designed to leverage the success in polarized strip development. It will also advance two configurations for 2D and 3D capable auto stereoscopic display products, and initiate customer evaluation of these products. Specific objectives of the project include: completion of the technical developments necessary to produce 2D/3D product ...
