Development of a Small Liquid Nitrogen Generator

We propose development of a high performance, portable atomic clock using cold atom technology. The clock will have short term stability of better than 10^-12 at one second and of 5x10^-15 at timescales of one day. The size, weight, and power (SWaP) of the clock will be

Semantically Linked Data is widely seen as a revolutionary approach for maximizing the usefulness of existing and future information. In the materials domain, semantically linked materials data holds considerable promise with the ability to facilitate materials research and product development, improve communication, and open up avenues for new types of materials informatics. But realizing the pro ...

This effort proposes to develop a toolset to evaluate the effectiveness of a safety-controller that monitors a learning-based autonomous control system. The traditional use of deterministic verification techniques for real-time monitoring is not feasible in the presence of uncertainty. This effort would advance the recommended verification techniques to include non-deterministic approaches. The ...

Barron Associates has assembled a team of researchers that include Dr. Sayan Mitra of the University of Illinois and Dr. Ufuk Topcu of the University of Pennsylvania. They will spearhead three complimentary investigations into the development of verification and validation (V & V) approaches for adaptive systems protected by run time assurance (RTA) mechanisms. Two of these approaches involve us ...

Valepro proposes DOMINO as an intuitive cross-cultural solution for a common user defined operating picture (UDOP) for multi-mission situational awareness across US and Coalition forces by leveraging existing COTS capabilities used to analyze the global f

The Foliage Abstraction RF Multiscale Estimation Rendering (FARMER) modeling and simulation application addresses the complexity of radio frequency (RF) propagation in a high foliage environment with an innovative multiscale calculation approach that has not previously been applied to this problem. It makes the foliage propagation problem tractable by abstracting the computationally intensive inte ...

We consider large, heterogenous data streams comprised of multiple components that may lack underlying models. The problem is to reliably and automatically decompose these high-dimensional objects into a 'background' of simple patterns and a smaller number of idiosyncratic 'foreground' events that represent deviations from the background trends in the presence of unknown amoun ...

This SBIR project is designed to meet the demand for more accessible EEG devices by providing anyone - neuroscientists, entrepreneurs, hackers, students and the general public - the first complete system, that enables reliable acquisition and advanced pro

IST Research has already made significant progress architecting and prototyping such a solution working collaboratively with government and industry partners. The designed platform provides algorithmic computation in real time, not only generating result
