Two WDM channels at 1320 nm and 1312 nm carring RF signals are simultaneously up/down converted by a fiber-based optoelectronic oscillator. The conversion efficiency are found to be ~ -8 dB and the incoming signals has no effects on the local oscillator spectral purity.

A system which rapidly determines the elastic stiffness constants of materials in plate shape as well as characterize material flaws that are affecting these constants. Rapid (below a minute) nondestructive evaluation system allow for the determination of material stiffness constants, low noise data acquisition algorithm for measuring spectral data. A real time method of displaying leaky Lamb wave spectral data.
A technique of setting powers and shape of beams to allow optical solitons to exist on WDM beams in fibers.
Bioreactor research is mostly limited to continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTRs) which are not an option for microgravity (g) applications due to the lack of a gravity gradient to drive aeration as described by the Archimedes principle. Bioreactors and filtration systems for treating wastewater in g could avoid the need for harsh pretreatment chemicals and improve overall water recovery. Solution: Membrane Aerated Bioreactors (MABRs) for g applications, including possible use for wastewater treatment systems for the International Space Station (ISS).
Methods and apparatus are provided for telemetry processing using a telemetry processor. The telemetry processor can include a plurality of communications interfaces, a computer processor, and data storage. The telemetry processor can buffer sensor data by: receiving a frame of sensor data using a first communications interface and clock data using a second communications interface, receiving an end of frame signal using a third communications interface, and storing the received frame of sensor data in the data storage. After buffering the sensor data, the telemetry processor can generate an encapsulated data packet including a single encapsulated data packet header, the buffered sensor data, and identifiers identifying telemetry devices that provided the sensor data. A format of the encapsulated data packet can comply with a Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) standard. The telemetry processor can send the encapsulated data packet using a fourth and a fifth communications interfaces.
Future space submillimeter telescopes will require large-format imaging detector arrays to perform state-of-the-art astronomical observations. A crucial issue related to a focal plane array is a readout scheme which is combatible with large numbers of cryogenic detectors elements.

A metasurface is defined by an array of scattering elements having a U shape, where the geometrical dimensions determining the U shape are determined according to the different phase profiles that the metasurface is meant to generate in response to an incident electromagnetic wave. The metasurface, therefore, generates different phase shifts as a function of the incident electromagnetic wave.

Methods for attaching barcodes to polypeptides are provided. Methods for detecting molecular interactions at the single molecule level are provided. Embodiments of the invention are directed to a ONA barcoded protein array technology for parallel protein interaction profiling on a single molecule basis. DNA barcodes are attached to proteins collectively via ribosome display or individually via enzymatic conjugation. Novel methods are described herein that measure protein interactions based on the statistical analysis of co-localized polonies arising from barcoding DNAs of interacting proteins.
Plasmonic gratings, along with methods of creating devices using width-graded plasmonic gratings are described. Plasmonic gratings may be transmission-type or closed-ended plasmonic gratings, and may be disposed on detectors to enhance the spectral range detection of the detectors or in further device architectures.
