Current data collection is growing faster than our ability to store and analyze it. Soon, data streams of 100Gb/s will be common. These data will need to be processed as they arrive. New statistical methods for incremental analysis are needed. We propose an approach called Robust Representation which will bound the analytical processing by setting upper bounds based on the available processing ...

To address the DARPA need to resolve the interconnect performance limitations in next-generation electronics, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Optical Nanoscale Interconnect (ONSET), based on space-efficient optical waveguide on-chip data communications. The innovation in the interconnect design and waveguide material, as well as optimized operating frequency, will enabl ...

Strong RF network security necessitates a solution that spans the entire network stack from the physical channel (PHY) all the way to the end-user. Wireless PHY security is particularly important due wireless'inherently vulnerable public channel. Current cryptographic security techniques operate exclusively at higher networking layers, leaving exposure at the lower level PHY. Ziva has de ...

Gen9 is developing a DNA synthesis platform that aims to produce synthetic DNA products at an industry leading length, price point and turnaround time. In this proposal we outline our plans to meet the requirements of the solicitation: $0.05per base pair, 7 day order turnaround time and perfect sequences up to 20 kbp. Currently our technology allows our product to approach those requirements. Furt ...

Language Quest is a fun, inspiring and challenging introduction to the wonders of languages and cultures, through which students develop metalinguistic skills that enhance their ability to learn any language in the future. Students explore the languages of Australia, Mexico, Egypt, and China in the interactive Adventure Quests, build cognitive skills in the Brain Games, and reinforce their skills ...

We describe a revolutionary flight control actuator system for the full range of power from sub-kW to more than 30 kW. The system encompasses the key elements of the actuator, from motor to inverter energy source and control, and sensor signals distribution. Its key feature is the absence of a gear box and its high power density. Its key application is flight control of both large air platform ...

Through the combined development of advanced waveguide architectures and meta-material synthesis techniques, Ziva's approach to meta- plasmonic interconnects promises to provide low loss photonic waveguides and devices with sizes comparable to electronic wires and circuits"light on a wire". Ziva's novel plasmonic waveguide architectures addresses the loss limitation of highly confined p ...

In the domain of language, infants and young children are superior learners when compared to adults, in spite of adults'cognitive superiority. Language is one of the classic examples of a''critical''or''sensitive''period in neurobiology. Children who learn a second language at an early age are better able to learn other languages when they are older. ...

The object of this project is to develop a Nomadic Router that enables rapid deployment as a communication network in any environment with little or no fixed infrastructure. The Nomadic Router is a device which adaptively supports heterogeneous military-specific and Commercial Off- the-Shelf (COTS) host computing devices, terminals, and communication devices with various multimedia traffic capab ...

Events including the Oklahoma CIty bombing and the Sarin attack in the Tokyo subway have emphasized the vulnerability of personnel, both military and civilian, to unexpected attack with conventional explosives and chemical substances. To combat this threat requires portable, low cost sensor systems capable of detecting a variety of dangerous materials at extremely low concentrations. Such a tech ...
