Concept Development for Advanced Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar
Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) can globally monitor dynamic processes on the Earth’s Surface. The last SAR to be developed and deployed by NASA was in the year 2000.
Briefs: Imaging
Traditional time-of-flight LiDAR has many drawbacks that make it difficult to use in many 3D vision applications.
Briefs: Imaging
The imaging system tested in NASA wind tunnels can reduce or eliminate shadows that occur when using many existing BOS and photogrammetric measurement systems.
Briefs: Imaging
The assembly can simply be mounted in front of a camera to enable focusing schlieren imaging capability.
Briefs: Design
Statistical Audibility Prediction Algorithm
Predicting the extent that one sound is heard over another is difficult, yet could help engineers to better design for sound management.
Briefs: AR/AI
Companies in many industries are completely revamping the way in which their manufacturing arms are designing, building, producing, and servicing their goods.
Briefs: Design
The new method could slash the energy cost of AI.
Briefs: Data Acquisition
MMS was developed as an add-on to NASA Ames-patented Inductive Monitoring System (IMS), which estimates deviation from normal system operations.
Briefs: Robotics, Automation & Control
Equipment and test system designers need Ethernet devices that outperform consumer-grade components, while remaining easy to use.
Briefs: Design
The new microscope is called a hybrid open-top light-sheet (OTLS) microscope.
Briefs: Power
Two-dimensional MXene has become popular in the energy world because of its fast energy storage capability. But unstable voltage output limits applications.
Briefs: Energy
The discovery could enable lightweight, low-cost, long-lasting energy storage for electric vehicles, houses, and more.
Briefs: Medical
Public temperature checks have become common practice during the COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers at Texas A&M University hope to make it possible to check the temperatures of large groups of people more quickly and at a less expensive cost than allowed by current methods.
Briefs: Photonics/Optics
Inducing TR in a battery cell allows engineers to test and improve the safety performance of overheated batteries that can potentially catch fire or explode.
Briefs: Energy
In tests, the proof-of-concept batteries retained 87.5 percent and 115.9 percent of their energy capacity at -40 °C and 50 °C (-40 °F and 122 °F), respectively.
Briefs: Unmanned Systems
The LiDAR sensor utilizes Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technique to determine the distance to the target and the velocity between the sensor and target.
Briefs: Photonics/Optics
Compact, Temperature-Tuned OFDR Laser
NASA has focused on OFDR, an alternative FBG interrogation technique based on laser interferometry.
