A big challenge in atomic layer deposition (ALD) of complex metal oxides is that the ALD temperature for one constituent oxide is often different from that of another. Researchers at University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), have developed thermal and radical enhanced ALD processes to address these concerns and realized the synthesis of many complex metal oxides, including PZT. Maritime Applied ...

Recently significant advances have been made in the high fidelity modeling of electromagnetic phenomena in complex geometries in the time-domain. To make high fidelity simulations of scattering and radiation tractable, the computational region must be truncated in a manner allowing outgoing waves to leave with minimal reflection from the boundary. We, HyPerComp in collaboration with Profess ...

In this proposal, a team comprising of HyPerComp Inc. and NASA-JPL aims to develop modular parallel adaptive meshing capability for problems involving implicitly captured interfaces such as free surface capture using the level set method. In specific, these models will be demonstrated along with the appropriate software interfaces for the US Army PROTEUS toolkit. The foundation for this developmen ...

Triton Systems, Inc. and the University of California, Santa Barbara are developing a low-cost, hybrid composite technology which combines the high temperature corrosion resistance of ceramic matrix composite surfaces with the high strength, high thermalconductivity, machinability and weldability of a metal matrix composite. These highly integrated metal-ceramic matrix composite (MCMC¿) structu ...

Biological weapon attacks are a continuing threat to the US military and homeland security. Current fluorescent detection technology has poor performance against spore based bioweapons threats. PCR, immunoassay, and lab-on-a-chip detection technologies are accurate, but are slow and require a constant stream of expensive reagents.

Sonalysts, Inc., along with Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) and Advanced Interactive Systems (AIS), proposes to investigate the feasibility of developing an approach for modifying an existing intelligent tutoring technology and a simulationenvironment so that an intelligent tutor can be paired with a user engaged in a simulated dismounted infantry training exercise. The goal of this approac ...

During Phase I Sonalysts, Inc., Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and Advanced Interactive Simulations, collaborated to investigate the feasibility of producing a training system that, using a simulated urban environment, supplies instructional interventions (such as real-time feedback) that are pedagogically sound and contextually relevant to the Soldier engaged in first-person simulated training. ...
