ABSTRACT: The Air Force spends $4.5 billion annually on aircraft maintenance related to corrosion.The source of this corrosion frequently is airborne chlorides that settle on metal parts and sensitive avionics and then absorb moisture from the air to create an electrolyte that promotes galvanic corrosion.The proposed work will design, fabricate and test a Corrosion Mitigation System (CMS) that sup ...

ABSTRACT:Silicon-based lasers/detectors have long been desired for owing to the possibility of monolithic integration of photonics with high-speed Si electronics and the aspiration of broadening the reach of Si technology by expanding its functionalities well beyond electronics. The goal of this project is to develop high quality SiGeSn material and also use it to demonstrate high performance opto ...

ABSTRACT: The Numericus Group, LLC has demonstrated during Phase I that our new approach to digital filtering vastly outperforms existing algorithms. At the heart of this new approach are algorithms that are guaranteed to converge and do not require an expert to oversee their operation, unlike many existing algorithms commonly used today. The new approach allows us to automatically design robust, ...

ABSTRACT: Oceanit proposes to develop materials that are far from thermodynamic equilibrium domain (highly doped polycrystalline materials, nano-structured systems and supersaturated structures, etc.). The processing includes shockwave consolidation and external fields.; BENEFIT: Processing utilizing shockwave consolidation via explosions, high pressure gun systems, and/or electromagnetic waves (e ...

ABSTRACT: Orbit Logic and the University of Colorado propose the Heimdall System to schedule observations of known objects and search for and establish custody of unknown objects from the Maui Space Surveillance Site. The Heimdall System includes a modeling environment a scheduling engine, and a track prioritization component. Within the Heimdall System, Finite Set Statistics (FISST) methods will ...

ABSTRACT:In recent years, a number of technology companies have produced auto-stereoscopic 3D volumetric and light-field displays.Qualifying their performance has been a subjective exercise as there is no common base for the determination of light-field display metrology.Rattan Softwares Phase II program will develop practical, affordable, and repeatable evaluation procedures; create a suite of li ...

ABSTRACT:Oceanit proposes to develop a software platform capable of integrating information collected over repeated experiments and from disparate sensors to facilitate the measurement of the physiological response of ocular-tissue to damaging levels of light.BENEFIT:The development of a software platform which facilitates integration of data from all relevant retinal imaging modalities used in th ...

ABSTRACT:Analysis of human movement with motion capture systems is used in many applications in the domains of health care, military training and simulation, sports, and entertainment. The requirements of these applications have driven the development of new motion capture technologies to improve accuracy, automation, portability, and cost. There is no single motion capture technology that is well ...

ABSTRACT: Patch management is one of the main enabling technologies in maintaining a high degree of security for IT systems.Often the patch requires a higher level of privilege to apply, making the patching operation itself a potential target of exploitation.The update or patch might require a reboot or perceivable system downtime, which becomes an issue for level 1 or 2 mission assurance category ...

ABSTRACT: The proposed work, URIEL (Unified Representation and Inference for Exploitation of Links), aims to simplify the work of intelligence analysts in discovering and exploring latent relationships from multiple sources of massive amounts of information. URIEL will support 1) automated extraction, transformation, and load at scale from multiple data sources, including document archives, social ...
