"Irvine Sensors Corporation (ISC), in collaboration with University of California, Berkeley, is proposing to quasi-monolithically combine CMOS circuits with superconducting electronics. Superconducting electronics, especially rapid-single-flux-quantum(RSFQ) logic, hold promise for 50 to 100 Gb/s clock frequency operation. The proposed innovation is the integration technique, shown in Figure 1, i ...

Developments of multi-color FPA's are important for use in missile defense systems (such as GMD and THAAD) applications. Key to meeting these system requirements is development of multi-color HgCdTe focal plane arrays with high pixel uniformity, reducedreadout noise, improved resolution, and higher temperature of operation, to reduce cost and volume of these sensors and seekers.Magnolia Optical Te ...

This proposal is aimed at demonstrating the applicability of a method for data-based, online, real-time monitoring of machine health state and predicting imminent failures. The data driven prognostic system will be based on a new, general state-space basedapproach to parameter tracking in dynamical systems. This method is applicable to systems where the parameters drift at a slower rate than the o ...

This Phase II proposal focuses on the development of a data-driven, integrated damage diagnosis and prognosis technology to enable on-line, accurate and useful failure predictions for ABL systems. The developed software system will utilize the advanced nonlinear dynamics based signal analysis and dynamics reconstruction methods to identify active damage modes, track their evolution, develop approp ...

As reported by Internet security threat reports, Bot networks are becoming the focal point for cybercriminals. Milcord and the University of Wisconsin, responds to this challenge with our proposal ¿ a ¿Bayesian Activity Monitor for Botnet Defense¿ (BAM-BD). In this proposal, we will research, design, and develop a botnet detection and mitigation tool that automatically classifies botnet behavio ...

The goal of the SBIR Phase I proposal is an attempt to grow the world's first single crystalline new wide band gap nitride semiconductors by MOCVD for developing optoelectronic and optical devices in yellow to green visible band as well as lattice matched heterostructure wide band gap electronic devices. The expected direct transition, wide band gap electronic structure and the significant nonline ...

Clocks and pulse sources are critical elements for next generation IC¿¿s such as DSP¿¿s and ¿Yprocessors which depend critically on stability and jitter. Clock skew becomes significant because of the large chip dimension. ADC¿¿s and DAC¿¿s are mixedsignal circuits which demand extremely precise clocks at multi GB/s rates. Telecommunication transceivers and transponders ...

True time delay (TTD) is essential for optically coupled phased array radars. How to implement the phased array is not so clear since a complete manifold of delays for transmit and delays must be implemented without introducing glitches associated withswitching. In a continuous transmit and receive mode, it is difficult to interrupt the operation to implement a new TTD delay combination in a noi ...
