NASA has demonstrated a resolve to land instruments on the corrosive, high-pressure (~100 bar), high-temperature (470deg;C) surface of Venus. NASA Glenn Research Centerrsquo;s JFET-R technology is the only one that has shown 1000rsquo;s of hours operation under Venus surface conditions. NASA desires computational analyses on the surface of Venus. Ozark IC is currently working on a NASA Phase II to ...

It has been widely received that the recent success of artificial intelligence (AI) is built on three cornerstones: the advance of algorithms, the acquisition of big data, and the availability of high computing power. To further improve the data processing capability and efficiency, researchers, in general, explore from three orthogonal and complementary aspects: algorithm simplification and compr ...

The proposed graphene-based electrode materials for electrodynamic dust screens provides a unique approach to deposit both the conductive material and a high dielectric constant insulator in a single wet coating method. The laser reduction of graphene oxide will provide electrodes with improved electrical conductivity over current state of the art, while the non-reduced graphene oxide composite wi ...

Based on the successful results of the Phase I project, Ozark IC will develop a prototype multi-chip package for high-temperature, high-density electronic systems. Ozark IC will create a 500°C RISC-V multi-chip system in package as a vehicle to illustrate the design procedures, the multi-chip package and the high-temperature components that go into creating a high-temperature electronic system.nb ...

According to the NASA SBIR topic H6.22 description entitled ldquo;Deep Neural Net and Neuromorphic Processors for In-Space Autonomy and Cognition,rdquo; this subtopic ldquo;specifically focuses on advances in signal and data processing. Neuromorphic processing will enable NASA to meet growing demands for applying artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms on-board a spacecraft to opti ...

NASA has demonstrated a resolve to land instruments on the corrosive, high-pressure (~100 bar), high-temperature (470deg;C) surface of Venus. NASA Glenn Research Centerrsquo;s JFET-R technology is the only one that has shown 1000rsquo;s of hours operation under Venus surface conditions. Due to the extreme environment found on the surface of Venus, access to reliable passive components such as resi ...

Currently, there is a need for sensing technology that can reliably detect microbial growth at its initial stages for air, surfaces, and potable water, well before substantial microbial growth, contamination, and microbial-induced corrosion can occur.nbsp; The current approach used to determine microbial growth is through analytical microbiology, which relies on sampling from tanks and analysis of ...

The proposed dust adhesion force mitigating coatings for solar array cover materials will provide improved efficiency in solar array power conversion and improved performance of current and future active dust mitigating technologies. These coatings will address both of the primary lunar and Martian dust adhesion mechanisms, electrostatic and Van der Waals attraction, while maintaining high optical ...

For NASA#39;s space missions, water must be carried from Earth or generated by fuel cells, for the use of oxygen generation, drinking, food reconstitution, oral hygiene, and hygienic uses (showers, handwashing, and urine flushing). The high launch costs of fresh water to space and environmental health of crewmembers are the two major factors for water reclamation and reuse. Urine is expected to co ...
