technical abstract

As the importance of social networks skyrockets, so does the need to understand human behavior in these forums. While statistical analyses can help to some extent, many types of patterns are simply not visible by looking at raw numbers. However, many of these patterns do emerge in visualizations, and the innate human ability to see these patterns in graphical depictions represents a valuable oppo ...

Decontamination of chemical and biological threats demands a very reactive solution. It is ideal to generate the decontaminants on-site: the activated decontaminant is highly reactive and quickly destroys chemical and biological warfare agents; prior to activation the ingredients can be safely stored for years, shipped, and handled. TDA's electrochemical decontamination (eClO2) technology u ...

ABSTRACT: Physical infrastructure is faced with a variety of security challenges including malicious insiders, hackers, and threats present within the supply chain. Hardware, sensors, and software residing in these environments may be captured or compromised by an adversary for the purpose of attacking or disrupting operations. Recent examples of attacks on such infrastructure can be found in Fla ...

This program creates a new class of advanced transceiver techology. This technology can create 40 Gbps VCSEL-based micro-transceiver (uTRX) components that operate reliably over the standard military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C in Army environments. uTRXs are low-cost, compact components that can be assembled onto the PCB in close proximity to high-performance ASICs using conventional ...
