Next-generation turbulent combustion models must enable accurate prediction of lean blow-out and flashback for complex geometries, fuels and operating conditions relevant to the Air Force. Improved models are needed to better predict kinetically and hydr...

Endpoints in the Internet of Things (IoT) vary considerably in their hardware-software architecture and their functional capability. The IoT marketplace is unlikely to converge on a single or a few dominant endpoint platforms in the near term and potentially even long term future.This creates a major problem and an opportunity for securing IoT endpoints that are being increasingly integrated in cr ...

The Phase-I effort is to demonstrate high-speed, polarization-based, burst-mode-laser-enabled, dual-plane, stereoscopic PIV (DP-stereo PIV) measurements of turbulent swirling combustion, which allow complete determination of the nine-component velocity g...

Extracting information from different modalities of data is one of the greatest challenges in this era of exponential data growth, as well as one of the most promising horizons for the development of new capabilities for military, commercial, and scientific applications. Virtually all areas of defense, industry, and science are becoming increasingly dependent on the ability to analyze multimodal d ...

Improving feature extraction, event detection, and target classification in multi-sensor systems requires new mathematical methods and processing techniques. In addition, previous research and experience suggests that leveraging sensor data that has not experienced significant dimensionality reduction can preserve subtle features when processed jointly with other relevant data. However, traditiona ...

BioMojo LLC and the Departments of Mathematics and Biomedical Engineering at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, will develop a preliminary bio mathematical model framework to represent how human tissues interact and behave at their boundaries. Tissue interaction properties (e.g. tensile, shear, friction, and so forth) of connective, epithelial, muscular, and nervous tissue including su ...

The widespread adoption of cloud computing resources has resulted in the proliferation of virtualization technologies.New technology begets new attack vectors; consequently, a new breed of malware techniques have emerged that detect the presence of a virtual machine or hypervisor and respond by directly attacking the hypervisor in an attempt to breakout of the virtual machine container. To counter ...

Micro-RDC will develop portable radiation effects test structures that scales to new process nodes. These structures will enable the investigation of the effects of radiation on the new technology from the material processing level as well as the circuit level. The production of the chosen structures and the development of software to extract the model parameters will form the framework. A suit ...

Cryptographic protection schemes provide some of the best security against data exploitation the security community presently knows how to engineer. It is estimated a 10 Petaflop supercomputer would require more than a quintillion (1.02 x 1018) years to ...

Global Circuit Innovations (GCIs) die extraction and reassembly technology(DER) generated initial interest in and demand by the commercial industry through demonstrating the value of remanufacturing an original integrated circuit (IC) from a plas...
