TS-073254 — Industries operating safety‑critical and asset‑intensive systems struggle to leverage the full value of disparate maintenance data sources. Current maintenance management and optimization tools operate in silos, limiting real‑time decision‑making, automation, and scalability. No existing s…

TS-073146 — As industrial systems become increasingly digital and interconnected, traditional risk assessment tools struggle to capture how cyber threats interact with physical processes in real time. Existing methods typically assess hardware failures or isolated cyber events, but they cannot model how attac…

TS-073138 — Designing online monitoring (OLM) for safety‑critical systems is constrained by scarce early‑stage operational data and by quantitative models that are slow to build, brittle across configurations, and costly to iterate. This creates expensive sensor networks with blind spots, poor diagnosabil…

TS-073103 — Physical protection remains a major driver of nuclear plant operations and maintenance costs, yet current security risk models rely on conservative assumptions and sparse empirical data on how defenders and operators actually behave under extreme threat. They rarely capture errors of commission, k…

TS-072984 — Complex systems are entering the market faster while safety verification grows harder, especially when detailed designs or operational data don’t yet exist. Traditional tools (FMEA, FTA, PRA) either require finalized designs, focus on forward propagation, or struggle with partial failures and fu…

TS-072578 — The Need Current lightweight conductors, such as copper and aluminum, face limitations in specific electrical conductivity, flexibility, and thermal management, especially for demanding applications in electrified transportation and aerospace. There is a critical need for conductors that combine hig…

TS-072175 — The Need Modern industrial and energy systems are increasingly complex, making timely fault detection and discrimination critical for safety, reliability, and cost control. Existing fault diagnosis methods often struggle with transient states, require extensive historical data, or lack interpretabil…

TS-071388 — The Need Cyclic redundancy checks (CRC) are utilized in digital communication and storage systems for error detection. Current CRC encoding and decoding methods in digital communication and storage systems are complex and require a high gate count, leading to inefficiencies in hardware design. There…

TS-070631 — The Need Ultra-wideband communication systems, including mmWave and optical wireless networks, demand highly accurate and low-latency channel estimation to maintain throughput and reliability. Existing methods, such as hybrid correlation and least squares estimators, suffer from high computational c…

TS-065451 — The Need The need for effective vaccine development platforms has never been more pressing, especially in the face of evolving pathogens such as the measles virus. Current vaccine production methods often face challenges in achieving optimal expression levels and immunogenicity, hindering their eff…
