... In particular, SEDD has demonstrated a miniature on-chip inductor fabricated by thick electroplating with high quality factors and high inductance density, which is the enabling technology for microscale power conversion technology. Smart Grid Technology SEDD researchers have begun building the tools and components necessary to implement smart grid technology in the tactical Army environment.

... Optoelectronic Oscillator EO&P research aimed at creating an extremely low noise oscillator has produced outstanding results. SEDD researchers have found a way to build a 10-GHz optoelectronic oscillator that matches the specifications of commercial low-noise oscillators up to 10 kHz away from the carrier at an orderof-magnitude lower cost and competitive size and weight specifications.

... This important result will enable more effective use of security cameras to protect guarded facilities and will allow law enforcement to make far better use of security cameras to address serious threats. A parallel effort has focused on devising machine recognition methods for detecting humans in stationary scenes.
