This document summarizes research on using magneto-optic imaging for non-destructive testing of metal structures. It describes developing new thin-film sensors with improved sensitivity, integrating the sensors and image recognition algorithms into a portable system, and applying a neural network algorithm called SONON to enhance defect detection in images. Laboratory experiments demonstrated the new sensors could detect smaller defects than previous methods. The overall aim is more accurate, automated inspections using portable, wearable equipment.
The document describes a family of microinstruments being developed for use in space missions. The instruments use magneto-optic thin film sensors to perform tasks like non-destructive testing of spacecraft components, detecting electromagnetic fields, monitoring biomagnetic fields, and optical signal processing.

Each sensor would measure local magnetic fields and disturbances, with data communicated to reconstruct magnetic activity over large regions. The arrays could also control large space systems through parallel computing principles. The sensors use bismuth-substituted iron-garnet films that respond to magnetic fields through the magneto-optic Faraday effect, providing high sensitivity and domain wall velocity. Deployed arrays would allow unprecedented magnetic mapping beyond spacecraft's direct reach.

Personnel are identified with relevant experience in pattern recognition, bioinformatics, and emergency response networks.
The document discusses a proposed mobile early warning system called Nomad EyesTM to detect and prevent nuclear terrorism. It argues that terrorism relies on networks and readily available technology. Radiation attacks are attractive due to their ability to cause social and economic disruption even without loss of life. The system would use mobile and wireless sensors to detect suspicious movements and shipments of radioactive and conventional materials. Data would be analyzed using various techniques like sensor fusion, graph theory, and gaming to identify potential threats while also providing emergency response capabilities. The goal is to develop a flexible, low-cost, and disruptive counterterrorism system.
This document discusses the Nomad Eyes project, which aims to use a network of mobile sensors and the general public to detect and prevent nuclear terrorism through early warning. The project would distribute radiation sensors that can attach to mobile phones to collect and transmit data. Games and advertising would encourage public participation. Collected data would be analyzed using graph theory and Bayesian methods to identify potential terrorist planning and threats. In the event of an attack, the network could quickly notify the public and route them to safety. The current status describes sensor prototypes, public engagement design, and network/database software development. The goal is to move terrorism prevention and response capabilities out of secure facilities and into the hands of the general public.

The document outlines a seminar on how quantum events may play a role in coherent biomolecular systems. It discusses several topics: (1) introducing motivations around reconciling quantum mechanics and relativity in biological systems; (2) exploring quantum network dynamics and structures like solitons that could provide stability; and (3) investigating chiral and tensegrity-stable solitons in higher dimensions that may model quantum networks sustaining topological identities. The goal is to better understand intracellular control and signaling at the quantum scale.
The document outlines a theory of topological process dynamics and its applications to biosystems. It discusses how a stable spacetime emerges from a quantum process flux described as a "spin glass" of topological 3-surface regions. Below certain length scales, p-adic numbers and an ultrametric topology are hypothesized to apply, with favored p-adic primes corresponding to physically important length scales like those seen in biological structures. The length scale hypothesis proposes lengths scales of L(p) = sqrt(p) * L0 that match observations of elementary particles, cells, viruses, and nanobacteria. P-adic topology is proposed below these scales with continuous classical spacetime emerging at larger scales.
This document summarizes a study on pattern recognition and learning in networks of coupled bistable units. The network is composed of N oscillators moving in a double-well potential, with pair-wise interactions between all elements. Two methods are used for training the network: (1) constructing the coupling matrix using Hebb's rule based on stored patterns, and (2) iteratively updating the matrix to minimize error between applied and desired patterns. Graphs show the learning rate converges as mean squared error and coupling strengths decrease over iterations.
This document discusses a hypothesis that molecular dynamics across neural membranes and cytoskeletal structures provide a matrix for self-organized behavior and information processing in the brain. Specifically:
1) Patterns of molecular activity may form stable solitons or "chaotons" capable of storing information over time, providing a basis for learning, memory, and consciousness.
2) These solitons could behave in a self-similar way across complexes of neurons operating within synapto-dendritic field activity.
3) Atomic force microscopy may help experimentally confirm theoretical models of these solitons and emergent structures in subcellular processes.
Evolutionary IED Prevention 09 2006 Updated W Comments Jan2010martindudziak
The document provides an overview of a presentation given at a 2006 conference on evolutionary detection and prevention of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and related terrorist weapons. The presentation discusses the need for detection systems that can (1) think ahead of terrorists rather than just react, (2) detect multiple substances in diverse environments, and (3) be usable by non-technical users. It also examines challenges like evolving weapon technologies and effectiveness. The presentation proposes solutions like a single, reconfigurable detection technology that can integrate with existing systems.
The document discusses applying geospatial representation and forecasting models to improve chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive (CBRNE) defense. It proposes integrating CBRNE prediction, detection, and countermeasures with geospatial analysis. This would allow incorporation of mobile, wireless, and portable technologies. The goal is a smooth transition between combat, post-combat and civilian CBRNE situations. Challenges include differences between field and domestic environments and issues with sensors. The document outlines several proposed technologies, including the Nomad Eyes architecture for distributed sensor deployment using inverse modeling. It also discusses the ADaM software for real-time data processing and sensor devices like the portable OPA for chemical detection.
