Determine the feasibility of developing a system that can reliably and efficiently correlate and merge the results of open-source and commercial automated static and dynamic security scanning technologies, by creating common data structure standards for both automated static and dynamic security scanning results; research and prototype methods of matching the results of automated static and dynami ...

This project team is developing a prototype of software for a tablet computer to replace paper tests for teachers to assess the reading fluency of special education students in grade 5 and 6. The technology will provide: scoring and tracking assessments with a stop watch for appropriate timing of questions, upload of data generated from the assessment directly to a database, audio playback capabil ...

This project team is developing a prototype of a web-based data dashboard, the Virtual Research Assistant, for teachers to track student progress and success. The product will allow teachers to quickly and easily see if students are falling behind or are in need of interventions, and will include student reports and class-level data through threshold analyses, data mining and predictive analyses. ...

The web-based game, Numbershire II, will include modules to support students with or at-risk for disabilities in learning 2nd grade level mathematics, as defined by Common Core State Standards, including fluency with place value ideas, foundations of multiplication, and procedural fluency with multi-digit operations. In the narrative-based game, each student will build and maintain an idyllic Rena ...

The current installation rate of wind turbine generators is on track to meet DOE published goals of 20% wind source of electricity by 2030. As the most economical sites become populated, future installations will rely more heavily on low wind speed on-shore site locations and high wind speed off-shore or deep off-shore site locations. As higher power density evolves from 2.5 MW to 6-10 MW per turb ...

One of the key pieces of hydrogen fueling stations and hydrogen fuel vehicles are dependable detectors that are needed to ensure safe handling and use of hydrogen within transportation infrastructure. Hydrogen is a colorless and odorless gas, and its flame is virtually invisible in daylight. We propose a robust, reliable detector technology based on the tuning fork micro-resonance effect that can ...

One of the very important issues in many industries is bonding of dissimilar materials, since high bond resistance to high and rapid thermal and mechanical loads is required. The problems associated with the bond durability stem from fundamental differences in the coefficients of thermal expansion and thermal conductivity. For example, ceramic has a relatively low coefficient of thermal expansion ...

The current hydrothermal power generation is about 1/2% of total US electricity demand, which is small compared to the potential geothermal power that could be developed using Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). EGS depends on creating or enhancing a geothermal reservoir by well stimulation in a hot rock formation. The acoustic (or sonic) tool Perma Works is developing will measure the directiona ...

Conventional water wells use well logging cameras to inspect the well. Today, geothermal wells must be cooled before video inspection. Cooling the well by pumping cold water into the well is expensive and damaging to the well. The well casing undergoes extreme changes in stress when the well is temperature cycled; lose your casing lose your well. As such, the benefits of visually inspecting ...

Superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities for use in the International Linear Collider (ILC) are currently fabricated by electron-beam welding of press-formed half-cell cups. Cavities produced in this method experience weld-related defects that limit accelerator performance and increase the cost of supplying the SRF system to the end user. E-beam welding in its optimum state is expensive an ...
