To maximize the operational value of robotic systems, warfighters must be able to specify high-level commands to direct their autonomous partner’s activities using multiple interaction methods that effectively convey spatiotemporal goals and constraints. The risks involved with unintended behaviors by autonomous robots due to dissonance in warfighter and spatiotemporal reasoning could be catastr ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Several strategies have recently shown convincing clinical efficacy by stimulating adaptive immunity for the treatment of cancer Immune checkpoint inhibitors CpIs for example reactivate a patientandapos s own T cells to eliminate tumors by blocking interactions that cause tumor infiltrating lymphocytes TILs to become exhausted CpIs have shown significan ...

"This proposed Phase II modeling effort is designed to improve the accuracy of numerical predictions of military gas turbine augmentors through a coordinated program of physics-based modeling improvements within the selected, state-of-the-art ComputationalFluid Dynamics (CFD) flow solver (named FP-Augmentor), and a concurrent test program to provide essential validation data for key models. The ma ...

Technical Abstract: The objective of this proposal is to demonstrate the feasibilityof integrating numerical testing with benchmark measurements for developing a validated accurate numerical code for turbine augmentor combustion modeling.1- Feasibility of using our FPVortex code, that has been used in similar applications with proven record, for additional simulations will be studied. The code wil ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Drug-induced cardiac toxicity and adverse events remains a major challenge for both industry as well as regulators. The current strategies for early identification of these potential liabilities in the drug discovery and development process involves a combination of in vitro and in vivo assays, followed by an extensive ECG-based cardiac repolarization study whi ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Because of the long history of the use of formalin as the standard fixative for tissue processing in histopathology, there are a large number of archival formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue banks worldwide. These FFPE tissue collections, with the attached clinical and outcome information, present invaluable resources for conducting retrospective ...

Accuwave Corporation will study the feasibility of a volume holographic, phase-encoded optical image correlator for credit card and document validation and security application. Fourier transform holograms of a phase-encoded input image are stored using wavelength multiplexed holographic gratings in a photorefractive crystal. High spatial resolution images can be sotred with low crosstalk using ...
