该项目建议调查新的设计方法和软件工具的商业可行性，这些方法和软件工具已经通过马里兰大学的马里兰DSPCAD研究小组的研究而不断发展。该研究建立在新的模型、算法和设计过程上，以新颖的方式揭示和利用信号处理系统的结构。该研究还在先进原型的开发中得到了证明，这些原型为软件定义无线电、监视、建筑能源管理和仪器仪表领域的应用提供了新颖的功能。本项目研究的创新将增进科学和技术的认识；帮助严格地将与可用性和最终使用集成相关的考虑集成到嵌入式系统的设计和实现的正式模式和方法中。此外，该项目旨在转化的研究有可能在信号处理系统的硬件和软件的效率和可靠性方面取得重大进展。信号处理系统在消费电子、企业数据处理、医疗保健和国家安全等领域有着广泛的应用。因此，拟议的技术转让调查有可能改善所有这些领域的产品和服务的质量。所研究的创新将为企业领导和项目负责人提供一个独特的机会，以获得在客户发现和商业化战略方面的宝贵知识和经验，并将其应用于他们未来的工作。该项目还将为I-Corps的导师和项目负责人提供宝贵的知识和工具，他们可以利用这些知识和工具深化创新与研究所研究和教育的结合。

The project proposes investigating the commercial feasibility of novel design methods and software tools that have been evolving through research in the Maryland DSPCAD Research Group at the University of Maryland. The research has been founded on new models algorithms and design processes that expose and exploit the structure of signal processing systems in novel ways. The research has been demonstrated also in the development of advanced prototypes that provide novel capabilities for applications in the area of software defined radio, surveillance, building energy management, and instrumentation. The innovation investigated in this project will enhance scientific and technological understanding; helping to rigorously integrate considerations related to usability and end use integration into formal modes and methods for design and implementation of embedded systems. Also, the research that this project aims to transition has the potential to bring about significant advances in the efficiency and reliability of hardware and software for signal processing systems. Signal processing systems have a wide applicability to a vast to a vast range of applications in the consumer electronics, enterprise data processing, healthcare, and national security. The proposed technology transfer investigation therefore has potential to improve the quality of products and services in all these areas. The investigated innovation will provide a unique opportunity for the Entrepreneurial Lead and PI to gain valuable knowledge and experience in customer discovery and commercialization strategy, which they will apply to their future efforts. The project will also provide the I-Corps mentor and PI with valuable knowledge and tools that they can use to deepen the integration of innovation into research and education at the Institution.
