SIFT will identify a set of linguistic events or strategies, occurring in on-line discourse and dialogues (such as email, tweets, blog discussions, etc.) that are expected to alter trust, affiliation, and/or regard on the recipients.The Brown and Levinson model suggests several of these such as "bullying", "buttering up", "discrediting", etc. A politeness-based linguistic analysis approach, augmen ...

The proposed effort aims to increase the TRL of the hemostatic agent through completion of relevant animal and toxicological research and development. These advancements will be verified through process improvements to meet good manufacturing practices. A series of registration approvals for the device along with packaging requirements will be advanced. Additional efficacy and competitive per ...

"SIFT will develop Plan Recognition for Multi-Source Reasoning Over Sources and Events (PRIMROSE) to provide high-performance, probabilistic plan recognition to DTRA, addressing the intelligence analysis problem of information overload. PRIMROSE will perform high-performance plan recognition and integrate the results into JIPOE-based intelligence processes. In PRIMROSE: (1) the YAPPR2 plan r ...

SIFT will partner with Katia Sycara and Michael Lewis to develop an Interface System for Human Interaction with Swarms (ISHIS), including a prototype user interface and a simulation and testbed to enable adaptation and experimental validation of its performance in multiple contexts. Our focus will be on human status awareness and commanding abilities to enable behavior shaping and swarm managemen ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I program will demonstrate a novel chip-scale magneto-acoustic spin wave (MASW) circulator for use in S-band applications. The MASW concept is based on the velocity non-reciprocity of surface acoustic waves in Aluminum doped Nickel-Zinc ferrite. The program will first simulate and demonstrate the necessary concepts in a simpler, but no less critical de ...

The Navys submarine fleet uses 3 phase delta power per MIL-STD-1399/300B. The power distribution system operates most effectively when loading per phase is balanced within 3%. COTS data processing equipment used by the fleet typically needs single phase power, so balancing is achieved by manually assigning COTS items to power phases in a manner that equalizes phase loading. Assigning COTS items to ...

The Navys submarine fleet uses 3 phase delta power per MIL-STD-1399/300B. The power distribution system is driven from two power busses and automatically transfer loads between the busses when one loses power. During bus transfer, a 70 100 msec power interrupt may occur which can create upset in the loads. PDAs proposed rack mounted 40 kW Power Supply Bridge (PSB) is installed between the power d ...

Wearable devices have grown to meet the demand for continuous, noninvasive vital signs monitoring in the military and civilian health care markets. These devices have largely excluded pulse oximetry because non-traditional sites, such as the chest, arm and legs, pose a challenge. We have previously demonstrated the ability to accurately monitor pulse oximetry on the chest, arms and calf. This p ...

Warfighters responsible for planning and conducting A2/AD entry operations require up-to-date, high-quality information within dynamic littoral zones. We plan to develop an easily deployable day-night measurement capability to accurately measure bathymetry, topography, currents and water surface temperature in near real-time from sensors and small computing capabilities housed within small multi-r ...

Trusted Semiconductor Solutions proposes development of a flexible solid state disk (SSD) architecture that leverages state-of-the-art commercial non-volatile memories and integrates them into a compact, scalable device. The SSD will included stacked 3D NAND flash and a control module to access memory and communicate to the host through a standard communication interface present in Arm Group UAS. ...
