The invention provides and die for improving pitch of carbon fibers.

The invention provides Fe-Ni based strengthened alloys.

Quantum computation utilizing Majorana Fermions bound to the center of superconducting vortices requires performing exchange operations, i.e. physically exchanging the position of the individual vortices. The solution presented here requires modulating fields and beams.

We have developed a camera system for the collection of face photographs at long ranges. The prototype is designed for the use of soldiers that have training as marksmen or snipers.

An algorithm which uses affinity propagation to automate the selection and generation of highly representative training images.

SD card configuration for use in neutron-rich environments.

Silicon carbide (SiC) is an attractive material for high-temperature heat exchangers and nuclear reactor systems. To date, technological advancements have been stifled by manufacturing constraints, which are quite limiting for ceramics such as SiC.

A novel method for purifying relatively large batches of uranium.

Balanced detection is a method of light detection in which classical noise common to two detectors is removed by subtracting the individual detector signals from one another.

Improved sorting techniques are provided that perform a parallel sort using a ranged, partitioned key-value store in a high-performance computing (HPC) environment. A plurality of input data files comprising unsorted key-value data in a partitioned key-value store are sorted.
