... facility in Adelphi, Maryland, on July 13-16, 2009, and June 2-4, 2010. During those two meetings, the panel reviewed research portfolios in all four SEDD divisions: Electro-Optics and Photonics, Energy and Power Generation, Radio Frequency and Electronics, and Signal and Image Processing.
From page 47...
... SEDD has addressed this expectation in the current, 2009-2010 reporting period by increasing its in-house research efforts in several areas, such as wide bandgap materials, image processing, flexible displays, and battery chemistries, while moving on from unattended ground sensors and sensor integration and transitioning silicon carbide (SiC) device research from in-house to external projects.
From page 48...
... In early stages, this technique has a potential payoff that is not limited to building energy storage components. Radio Frequency and Electronics Division The Radio Frequency and Electronics Division is focused on the development of next-generation electronic devices and sensors for Army systems operating in complex environments.
From page 49...
... Highlights in the RF Signal Processing and Modeling Branch include the SIRE (Synchronous Impulse Reconstruction) Ultra Wideband Radar Program, which represents an excellent example of the SEDD research with the potential for a significant impact on the capabilities of a warfighter.
From page 50...
... Working in coordination with the Flexible Display Center in Arizona, SEDD has become the leader in flexible display technology and is stimulating the industry. The Flexible Display Center appears to be bearing fruit, and industry is participating and contributing technology.
From page 51...
... • trategic investments in materials technologies can have broad applicability throughout the divi S sions in SEDD. For example, the wide bandgap materials influence the Radio Frequency and Elec tronics Division's work in GaN power electronics, the Electro-Optics and Photonics Division's work in deep ultraviolet optoelectronics, and the Energy and Power Generation Division's work in SiC electronics.
From page 52...
... In FY 2009, 20 patents were awarded to SEDD researchers, and 27 new applications were filed. This is a track record of a solid research organization.
From page 53...
... Flexible display technology promises potentially extensive consumer and military applications. However, in some specifications, devices for these two markets may not coincide.
