There are three elements to the cost of a composite: the matrix, the reinforcement and the cost of the fabrication technology. It is affordable fabrication technology that hinders nanocomposite development. Techniques like lay-up, winding etc., mandated by continuous fibers, are simply too expensive. A truly low cost fabrication method would have to be based on short fibers. Individualized nano ...

A program is proposed to investigate and develop thin buried oxide (BOX) SIMOX with quality of silicon and BOX layers suitable to support fully depleted SOI applications with minimum feature size at and below 0.18 um. In Phase I, novel, low dose SIMOX processes in low energy (less than 100keV) regime will be examined. This approach will allow to tailor thin film layer thicknesses by proper choic ...

This project is dedicated to the development of an adaptive network security management tool that is analogous to implementing and incident/response paring mechanism on top of a universal remote control facility for a variety of network and security tools, network types and operating systems. Our proposed approach to accomplishing this is to integrate and agent architecture with a Case-Based Reas ...

WITH THE ADVENT OF LASERS IN COMMUNICATIONS, ONE TECHNIQUE THAT IS EMPLOYED IS DIRECT AMPLITUDE MODULATION OF THE SOURCE LASER WITH THE RF WAVE THAT ACTUALLY CARRIES THE INFORMATION OF INTEREST. DEMODULATION IS PERFORMED VIA DIRECT DETECTION OF THE RECEIVED BEAM FOR MANY SHORT-DISTANT COMMUNICATIONS. A LIMITATION ON THIS TECHNIQUE IS THE LINEARITY OF THE DIRECT MODULATION. THAT IS, THE AMPLITUDE O ...

DARPA has identified collaborative computing as a technology not yet adequately developed in the marketplace. This need to share and interactively work with documents and other information objects across separate computer systems is really the underlying human business need that originally drove the creation of network technology, desktop video-teleconferencing, and even the failed earlier indust ...
