Establishment of the feasibility of creating a small, low-cost input device to provide position and orientation information sutitable for an indoor personal navigation device for people with visual impairments

The overall objective of this Phase II project is to optimize the fabrication procedure associated with the chemical lithography proposed in Phase I to fabricate nanophotonic structures and devices at a fraction of the cost of existing technologies. We plan to use our optimized chemical lithography procedure to fabricate an ultra-high resolution patterns and devices including nano-probe for near f ...

We propose to study the feasibility of demonstrating a capability-based operating system running a home control application on an embedded processing platform. Capability-based systems have documented advantages in security and reliability, but no commercial system is available for an embedded processor. Some embedded processors raise issues such as cache coherency that present challenges for a ca ...

Not Available The primary goal of this Phase I program is to develop a VCSEL/wave guide integration technology for enhancement of radio frequency (RF) photonic links. The proposed technology for enhancement of radio frequency (RF) photonic links. The proposed development effort emphasizes two packaging methodologies for VCSEL/wave guide integration. Although many applications exist for this te ...

In Phase I, EM Photonics demonstrated the viability of using a reconfigurable hardware approach to accelerating the simulation of electronic circuits based on their electromagnetic properties. In Phase II, this technology will be used to create a solver capable of analyzing mixed signal circuits 64 times faster than is currently available from equivalent software. The resulting device will shrin ...

An anti-submarine warfare concept is proposed in which a low-cost and easily-deployable temporary submarine detection zone is created in littoral waters. The concept uses solid-state magnetic field sensors to detect the passage of submarines, and acoustic transmitters to relay the data to a small number of in-water receiver units. The data is then communicated from these units to a manned off-sit ...

This Small Business Technology Transfer Phase II Program will demonstrate a magnetic field sensor device of high sensitivity using spin-dependent tunnel (SDT) materials. The tunnel materials will be developed with guidance from the state of the art realistic atomistic modeling and aided by state of the art nanostructural characterization techniques of 3-D atom probe and high-resolution transmissio ...
