Previous THz scanning Fabry-Perot concepts have used wiremeshes or thin metallic layers as the reflectors, both of which are effective to some degree, but lack tunability. The use of wire-grid polarizers allows for fully tunable resolution and throughput, thus enhancing the Fabry-Perot by increasing its operational flexibility. Here the Fabry-Perot concept for a fast-scanning THz spectrum analyzer is presented, potential applications are shown, and the wire-grid reflector concept is demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":318539,"journal":{"name":"NAECON 2014 - IEEE National Aerospace and Electronics Conference","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126677022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The focus of this paper will be to present a human performance model, using mobile devices, for analysis of time-critical decision making through sensor-based information.","PeriodicalId":318539,"journal":{"name":"NAECON 2014 - IEEE National Aerospace and Electronics Conference","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129485284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the increased amount of imagery there is a need to understand the usefulness of video for applications such as Activity-Based Intelligence (ABI), situation understanding, and event-based processing. In this paper, we explore some of the emerging developments in video observations with a focus on cloud technology. Cloud technology supports integration of multiple algorithms, storage of large data sets, indexing over multimedia, and workflow opportunities between humans and machines. We highlight multiple tools such as GeoFlix™, Application Knowledge Interface To Algorithms (AKITA™), and Intelligence Preparation of the Operational Environment (IPOE) using the Ozone Widget Framework (OWF) for permissive surveillance, data to decisions, and information fusion. These tools enable data analytics, algorithm comparison, and user-defined visualizations. An example is presented for target localization and tracking through planned video observations.","PeriodicalId":318539,"journal":{"name":"NAECON 2014 - IEEE National Aerospace and Electronics Conference","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128599101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The new scheme forms certain beam patterns, which directly perform desired transform, such as discrete cosine transform (DCT) or discrete wavelet transform (DWT), to the space. The received signals will be the coefficients of transform instead of raw data reflected from the target. By doing so, signal processing is performed in an online fashion to render attractive advantages which we never experienced before.","PeriodicalId":318539,"journal":{"name":"NAECON 2014 - IEEE National Aerospace and Electronics Conference","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131884739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This design has less than 10% of the write energy consumption than a simple memristor crossbar. Also, it has up to 4 times the bit density of an STT-MRAM system and up to 11 times the bit density of an SRAM architecture. The proposed architecture is analyzed using a detailed SPICE analysis that accounts for the resistance of the wires in the memristor structure. Additionally, the memristor model used in this work has been matched to specific device characterization data to provide accurate results in terms of energy, area, and timing.","PeriodicalId":318539,"journal":{"name":"NAECON 2014 - IEEE National Aerospace and Electronics Conference","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115423434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
