Adventium Labs and our teammate Kansas State University (KSU) propose to develop the Microkernel Application Information fLow with Logic-based Enforcement (MAILLE) to specify, discover, analyze, and control key information flows to increase mission resili

Helios is a secure processor that prevents memory corruption exploits, which account for 46% of all Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) as recorded by MITRE.  This fundamental vulnerability affects billions of AMD, Intel and ARM processors and after decades of work, there is still no conclusive resolution for commercial or Department of Defense (DOD) systems.  Smart phone manufactur ...

Existing search technology is inadequate for addressing the information retrieval requirements of today's complex tasks that require the integration of information from multiple and heterogeneous sources, the discovery of arbitrary and non-obvious relations between the documents, and the uncovering of information that is intentionally trying to hide. The goal of this project is to advance the stat ...

Linear spin-valve sensors combined with NVE's patented isolator technology will be used to develop miniature, radiation-hardened, analog isolator devices for both military and commercial applications. This proposal is directed towards designing,fabricating and optimizing analog interface devices, such as analog signal amplifiers and miniature, rad-hard signal isolators with overload protection. ...

ABSTRACT: Carbon nanotubes form conductive composites at such low loading ratios and thus could be a key component in EMI shielding and conductors for lightweight aircraft wiring. Compared to conventional metal-based materials, electrically conducting polymer composites has attracted interest due to their light weight, resistance to corrosion, flexibility, and processing advantages. In Phase I, M ...

Physical separation technologies use a tremendous amount of energy in the processing industries. In particular, vibrating machines are used for dewatering, screening, sizing, mixing, compacting, and conveying. Although vibrating machines are not the single most energy intensive step in a processing plant, they are often a major bottleneck in the process, and improvements would offer tremendous p ...

SIFT proposes to implement and validate GEMINI (Gestalt Mixed-Initiative Intelligence), a shared workspace for human-machine intelligence analysis that leverages human and machine cognitive strengths. Our Phase I prototype demonstrates the feasibility of the technology. GEMINIs information exploitation interface translates the users actions into structured knowledge and goals. It decomposes goa ...

The overall objective of this project is to develop an effective and practical diagnostic/prognostic capability for turbine engine accessories. The Phase I effort demonstrated the effectiveness of combining high fidelity physics-based models with feature based algorithms to diagnose incipient faults in turbine engine accessories. The goals for Phase II are to fully implement these techniques and t ...

A packaging system and process for minimizing the volume of shock hardened components will be designed and developed. Different multi-chip module (MCM) approaches will be investigated including laminate (MCM-L), ceramic (MCM-C), deposited thin film (MCM-D), and hybrids of the two (MCM-C/D). In addition, micro ball grid arrays on folded elastomeric substrates, 3-D High Density Interconnect (HDI) ...

The gradual degradation of wiring systems in aircraft is a serious concern plaguing the Air Force's aging fleet. It has been observed that the majority of wire breakage problems occur within nine inches of the connector, terminal lug, or other junction. In many cases, the wiring was not properly relieved of strain near the junction points. Traditional wires are by nature inelastic under stress, ...
