The proposed SBIR program will accelerate the commercialization of multiplexed optical fiber networks and their use in both DoD and commercial systems. F&S (Fiber & Sensor Technologies, Inc.) proposes to implement all-optical low-loss switches for signal multiplexing in large networks. This new approach to multiplexing is based on the development of optically-activated in-line switches to automa ...

This SBIR Phase I program will test the feasibility of achieving a high effective radar cross section over extremely wide bandwidth in a small, low-cost, RF repeater module, using a retrodirective array of a very small repeaters. The array factors effectively multiply the RF characteristics of a single channel to realize high array gain and power using low-performance amplifier. An integral goal ...

Water is one of the basic commodities which will be needed in ever increasing quantities as industrialization and urbanization of the world progresses presenting many new challenges for the water processing industry. As new industrial products have been developed and manufactured with increasing complexity and sophistication so has the need for increasing the purity of the processing water that is ...

The objective of the project is to develop a new mass spectrometric diagnostic tool that will allow quantitative measurement on a nanometer scale of elements having a high ionization potential, such as hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen fluorine, and phosphorous. The proposed work would extend the proven capabilities of laser resonance postionization of sputtered material to enable efficient meas ...

This work offers an innovative approach to predicting system behavior (in terms of reliability and performance) based primarily on the structural characteristics of a formal functional specification. The mechanism for process composition is codified in the CSP-to-Stochastic Petri net (CSPN) toll. CSPN supports systematic specification, automatic translation and subsequent augmentation (e.g., fai ...

The research proposed herein is designed to validate the critical technologies required to implement a miniaturized, portable biological agent sensor with 1,000-fold higher sensitivity than prior art devices. This sensor is based on the proprietary Multi Photon Detection (MPD) technology developed by BioTraces, Inc. When used with the Super IRMA assay developed by BioTraces, MPD has enabled the ...

WHILE INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION IS CRUCIAL TO ALL DECISION ANALYSIS AND OPERATIONS EVALUATION, ITS COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS HAS BECOME A DEMANDING TASK. RECENT YEARS HAVE SEEN AN INCREASE IN THE AMOUNT AND SCOPE OF FIRST LEVEL INTELLIGENCE PRODUCTS WHILE THE TIME AVAILABLE FOR ANALYSIS AND DECISION MAKING HAS DECREASED. A COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM CAPABLE OF CREATING ANALYTICAL INTELLIGENCE REPORTS FROM F ...
