Available Technologies by Category
Compressive Wireless Arrays for Bearing Estimation	Efficient – Uses minimum possible samples to reconstruct space Passive – System listens to available signals, it does not send our signals that could cause interference Low Power – System uses low power consumption because it listens to available signals	4326
Electromagnetic Breach Detection Sensor	Difficult to defeat — due to unique voltage patterns Works independently — not reliant on perfect connections to maintain functionality Ability to sustain a moderate amount of damage — to avoid incorrectly detecting a breach	3646
Standoff Detection of Nuclear Materials	Air-ionization measurement, molecular resonance, excitation and fluorescence Remote (LIDAR) probing/detection of inaccessible (or hidden) radiation sources On-site (Direct) ionization detection/monitoring (Ionized air pump) of radiation materials	4936
Method for VM Monitoring Using Hardware Virtualization	More efficient — at least 10 times performance improvement between switching to a monitor inside SIM and switching to a monitor residing in another trusted VM Expandable — new security applications can be built	4882
Aerodynamic Drag Reduction at Low Angles of Attack	Substantial drag reduction	3583
Reconfigurable Antenna Array with Multi-Feed Antenna Pixels	Enables direct and intuitive programming of RF current distribution, simplifying the setting and prediction of the resulting antenna array pattern Allows broad bandwidth operation, i.e. S-band to X-band operation (2-12 GHz) Easy deployment is made possible by not mandating computationally intensive optimization	6433
Improved Privacy: A Data Security Solution	Easy-to-use – Overcomes usability problems and/or server modifications of existing privacy solutions Standalone – Ability to be used as a standalone program that provides better isolation than other products Secure – Allows the provider or online entity to enhance the user’s confidence that the personal data will be not be compromised	6426
Reconfigurable Antennas for Radar Applications	Innovative — Origami-based accordion structure enables variable physical deployment of antenna Reconfigurable — Varying extent of physical deployment reconfigures antenna frequency band, radiation pattern, and gain Cost-reductive — Configurability allows for changing complexity of antenna packages	6357
Apparatus and Method for Protecting Log Information	Hardware and software to prevent ‘log’ data tampering System logs impenetrable and non-modifiable Disables the ability to remove or tamper with trace data	6327
Submersible Vehicle Design Based on Biomimicry of Batoids	Extended range: This vehicle’s propulsion system does not require refueling, allowing for long range deployments. Nearly silent: Its limited use of mechanical components reduces the acoustic signature. Highly maneuverable: Scalable system provides three-dimensional maneuvering capabilities	6019
Highly Sensitive Standoff Gas Sensing Using Carbon Nanotubes	Extremely sensitive gas sensor based on the change in resonant frequency of circuit caused by interaction of gas molecules with carbon nanotubes CNTs can be functionalized to detect one or more analytes with high specificity Sensor can be manufactured using inkjet printing technologies to reduce costs	5830
Using Hardware "Fingerprints" to Enhance Network Security	Long-Term Solution: Because no software client is required, this technique can be used to identify both current and future unmanageable devices. Failsafe: Because it relies on inherently unique signatures tied to hardware’s diverse compositions, component manufacturers, and physical differences, the system is difficult to defeat by unauthorized—or even authorized—users. Reduced Vulnerability: As a network-based solution, this method eliminates the security vulnerabilities associated with software additions at each node.	5818
Liquid Core Patch Antenna with Broadband Frequency Agility	Broadband frequency agility that stretches from mid-LF to mid-EHF Adaptable design to products that need significant frequency agility Ability to provide fractional tunable capability of 8.5:1 surpasses the 1.67:1 capability for current reactively tuned patch antennas	5664
Enhanced Information Security Monitoring Using Analog Signals	Accurately and precisely perform security monitoring of information and data being used by computer devices and systems Eliminates the need for the security mechanism to be incorporated into the device/system being monitored Capable of functioning without using resources of the device or system being monitored	7110, 6898
'Security Refresh': Protecting Phase-Change Memory	Longer memory lifespan — Lifetime is extended by creating even wear-out Versatile — Not limited to PCM, can be applied to any future memory technology that suffers from limited write endurance Secure — Protects against attacks by masking actual data location	5601
Cross-Coupled VCO With Phase Noise Performance	Inherently separate device source nodes for the cross-coupled devices with no compromise on the VCO startup condition. The new topology ensures both low phase noise and low DC power. Superior close-in 1/f3 phase noise.	7176
Autonomous Indoor Robotic Blimps	Miniature size and low cost Flight duration of more than 3 hours Safe interaction with humans	7136
