Prognostic Health Management for Avionics System Power Supplies
An integrated approach to prediction
tools enables faults to be diagnosed
accurately.
Electronic systems such as electronic controls, onboard computers,
communications, navigation, and radar perform
many critical functions onboard military and commercial aircraft.
All of these systems depend on electrical power supplies
for direct current (DC) power at ...

Energy-Scalable Protocols for Battery Operated Micro Sensor Networks
Sensor network protocols designed with low-power techniques can prolong the
lifetimes of wireless sensor systems.
Networks of microsensors can greatly
improve environment monitoring
for many civil and military applications.
Multiple sensors provide fault tolerance
and can provide valuable inferences
about the physical world to the end user.

Wide-Field Imaging System and Rapid Direction of Optical Zoom
This system demonstrates non-mechanical zoom using flexible thin films.
A breadboard system has been developed
for demonstrating nonmechanical
zoom using flexible thin
films. The project consists of three
major task areas: material characterization,
diagnostic system development,
and imaging system development. The
material characterization phase involves
two components: development ...
