Award Data

The objective of this proposal is to investigate a set of software tools that aid researchers (i.e. scientists, inventors, designers, planners, or investors) in solving complex problems over large sets of data. The DiscoveryToolsTM system will provide acustomer-centered approach to computer automation. The customer (i.e. researcher) encodes problem-solving strategies through an easy-to-use graph ...

A novel turbojet based propulsion system is described that is capable of continuous operation from takeoff to orbital insertion. This engine concept utilizes a conventional turbojet as its core with a dual function inlet that can accommodate bothatmospheric air and cryogenic liquid oxidizer. By varying the percentage of liquid oxidizer injected, the engine can operate either in turbojet mode, roc ...

This project develops an information extraction system that demonstrates higher levels of recall than current systems, seeking not to jeopardize the levels of precision. Our recall enhancing algorithms use more linguistic and world knowledge than mostcurrent systems. Four crucial avenues of work that will lead to the improvement of recall are: disambiguation of input text terms through ontological ...

The primary goal of the proposed Phase II effort is to develop a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) virtual optoelectronic crossbar system architecture. By using the company's enabling optoelectronic integrated circuit (OEIC) device technologies, azero latency, WDM virtual optoelectronic crossbar will be developed for premises based as well as long haul, terabit networks. The virtual crossba ...

Predicting the signal level and coverage area of radio frequency communication channels between base stations, vehicles and warfighters is a challenging problem. The channel may involve radio frequency interactions with hills, foliage, and buildings.The paths may involve long distances over hilly terrain or shorter distances involving interaction with urban building features. Some propagation p ...

SeiraD is working to develop an innovative DNA sequencing device incorporating silicon-based microfluidics and molecular level sensors. The US government has invested over $2,000,000,000 to sequence the first human genome. The full potential of DNAsequence information will only be realized when multiple genomes are rapidly and inexpensively sequenced. The SeiraD approach is based on research co ...
