Medical Ultra Sound (US) technology, and associated hardware, software, algorithms, and systems have seen great development over the last decade, and field portable US transducer and imaging systems are readily available. However, key shortcomings remain that limit their application: 1) Need for operator control of wand pose, 2) Need for human expert interpretation of resulting US images, 3) Large ...

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common clinical condition that affects close to 30 million Americans. To overcome patient non-compliance and discomfort associated with current OSA treatments, we have developed SONOSA, a wearable device that can remotely diagnose, monitor, and treat OSA using ultrasound alone. As a diagnostic device, SONOSA can eliminate the expensive, in-hospital equipment requ ...

Nanohmics Inc. in collaboration with Dr. Andrea Al propose to develop and experimentally demonstrate ultra-compact nonlinear-plasmonic all-optical switches and isolators that exploit sharp asymmetric plasmonic-resonances observed in sub-wavelength metasurfaces. Devices will be comprised of plasmonic gratings that couple light into Long Range Surface Plasmons (LRSPs). The gratings are engineered to ...

Over a decade ago, security practitioners highlighted threats posed by memory corruption exploits subverting systems through manipulation of security-critical non-control-datawithout ever corrupting application control-flow. Since that demonstration, however, the full power of data-oriented attacks went largely unnoticed until very recently. One reason for this recent emergence is that exploitatio ...

Data-rich applications, such as web servers, web browsers, and document editors, are inherently vulnerable to non-control data attacks, i.e., attacks that exploit memory corruption vulnerabilities to leak or corrupt sensitive data. We propose Dobby, a tool that statically transforms software binaries to integrate run-time checks ensuring illicit data flows caused by memory corruption errors in the ...

As integrated circuit dimensions shrink and U.S. fabrication facilities age, U.S. ASIC developers are increasingly turning to overseas foundries for the latest process nodes in device fabrication.This migration is especially impactful for DoD designers as critical military technology needs to be trusted and offshore fabrication has the potential to expose chips to malice during manufacture.Sensiti ...

Malicious modifications of hardware pose major concern in terms of reliable and trusted field operation of integrated circuits. To ensure security and trust of micro-chips, it is essential to develop efficient, low-cost techniques for detection of such tampering events. Conventional structural/functional testing, coverage metrics, and test generation approaches cannot be readily applied to identif ...

CRG proposes to leverage its partnerships, advanced aerospace system design capabilities, and unique manufacturing technologies to design, build and demonstrate a flying missile rail along with the high-rate production technologies required to meet DARPAs objectives of 500 units per month, within one month.CRG will focus on high-rate manufacturing technologies currently in use within the automotiv ...

The Defense Advance Research Project Authority (DARPA) is seeking a capability to produce 500 Flying Missile Rails (FMRs) a month. Providing such a capability is challenging because one must simultaneously come up with a design for a FMR that meets mission requirements while being able to be mass produced. The North American Wave Engine Corporation (NAWEC) can provide a solution that will meet the ...

Lulaza Aerospace LLC proposes to study the design and rapid manufacture of a Flying Missile Rail, an autonomous UAV carried beneath a fighter that can release an AIM-120 missile from captive carry, or alternately can fly away from the fighter to maneuver and/or extend the range of the missile. This air-launched UAV can also carry and launch the Small Diameter Bomb or special payload pod. This stud ...
