We propose a novel suspended multiferroic thin film structure fabricated by semiconductor processing technologies as the basis for the approach to designing the multiferroic microstrip-based circuit elements such as tunable filters. The proposed approach

We propose to build a framework around an operator formulation to enable rapid development of massively parallel solutions to large graph problems. Graph algorithms are expressed by a small number of operators that are applied to components of the graph.

We propose a gravitational-radiation military communications system which is based on quantum-mechanical parametric amplifiers, oscillators, and transducers. In the transmitter at a remote site A, a parametric amplifier using a Planck-mass-scale, moving s

Pressure gain combustion (PGC) offers means to a more efficient energy use in propulsion and power generation devices. Integrating PGC concepts in gas turbine engines often results in highly unsteady flow conditions at turbine inlet. Further, the backpres

NextGen Aeronautics (NextGen) and University of Southern California (USC, RI) team of experienced composite materials, structural design, and analyses personnel are responding to the opportunity to develop stochastically verified composite structural desi

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite materials are light and strong, however the development of composite aerostructures has been expensive and slow. Custom tooling is required for each part produced, significant capital investment is required to win

This proposal is to develop a new system for Recognition of Communities and Heterogeneous Analysis of Group Interactions and Dynamics (RC-HAGID) for Social Media Forecasting. Social media enables individuals and groups to quickly coordinate, recruit and direct people to take action in support of a particular objective. This includes terrorist groups and criminal organizations. Accordingly, for ...

HJ Science & Technology (HJS & T) and the Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) propose to develop an automated, software-controlled, programmable, low-cost, and compact platform capable of running rapid and complex bioengineering processes and optimization of new biomanufacturing systems. Our approach combines the microfluidic automation technology of HJS & T with the novel synthetic biology technolo ...

OEwaves Inc. and AMO Physics Center of JILA propose to develop a novel monolithic ultra-stable portable whispering gallery mode resonator suitable for operation in a wide range of environmental conditions. The resonator will deliver the same performance as the best existing high-end laboratory Fabry-Perot resonatorswhich are large, expensive, and fragile table-mounted instrumentsbut in a robust 10 ...

We describe our efforts towards compact ultrahigh-Q 698-nm microcavity stabilization at 1e10-15 frequency instability at 1 second and chip-scale integration for portable precision optical lattice clocks. This advancement is based on state-of-the-art measurements and preliminary results by our team, enabled by the highest quality factor optical resonators (Q f 2e1010) measured to-date. The resonat ...
