SBIR Phase I: A Universal Technology Platform for Remote Sensing and Controlling

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目旨在开发一个通用的遥感和控制技术平台。这项技术的发展将侧重于可负担性、易用性、可靠性、与现有通信标准的使用和兼容性、计算机平台独立性、模块化/可重构性、可伸缩性和可扩展性。使用这种基于互联网的技术的一个商业应用将通过远程访问实验设备促进教育的加强，这些设备的可用性将大大缓解传统实验室对教育机构施加的空间、时间和财政资源的压力。这项拟议技术的最初受益者将是大学本科和研究生阶段的学生。随后，将该技术推广到K-12、企业培训和科学实验领域以及工业和消费者应用领域似乎既可行又可信。JDS技术公司提供的各种实验设备的远程访问将有助于改善学生对科学和技术原理的学习。提出的技术将促进独立和异步学习模式。它还将允许在讲座中进行实验演示，并允许将实验纳入远程学习计划。因此，与没有远程访问能力相比，它为更多的学生提供了访问复杂和成本密集的实验的机会。

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project aims at the development of a universal technology platform for remote sensing and controlling. This technology development will be carried out with a focus on affordability, ease of use, reliability, usage of and compatibility with existing communication standards, computer platform independence, modularity/reconfigurability, scalability and expandability. One commercial application using this Internet-based technology will foster the enhancement of education through remotely accessible experimental devices, the availability of which will provide significant relief to the strain on the spatial, temporal and fiscal resources that traditional laboratories impose on educational institutions. The initial beneficiaries of the proposed technology will be students at the undergraduate and graduate college levels. Subsequently, the propagation of the technology into the K-12, corporate training, and scientific experimentation arenas as well as into industrial and consumer applications appears to be both feasible and plausible.The enabling of remote access to various experimental devices proffered by JDS Technologies will facilitate improved student learning of scientific and technical principles. The proposed technology will promote independent and asynchronous learning patterns. It will also permit experimental demonstrations in lectures and allow experimentation to be included in distance learning programs. It thus provides access to sophisticated and cost intensive experimentation for a much larger student audience than would be possible in the absence of the remote-access capabilities.
