Research in Industrial Projects for Students (RIPS) 2006Projects and Company InformationArete Associates, IncCompany Information: Arete Associates, founded in 1976, conducts leading-edge research and development in sensor hardware technology, data analysis, signal processing, and algorithm development; applied oceanography including experimental design and execution, instrumentation development, and data analysis; physics-based modeling, simulation, and high-resolution scene generation; and assessment of the impact of advanced technologies on military capabilities. Project Work Statement (PDF file) Hewlett-PackardCompany Information: HP Labs' function is to deliver breakthrough technologies and to create business opportunities that go beyond HP's current strategies. For example, HP Labs is using a model-based approach to develop IT systems that are more automated, less prone to errors and more agile and predictable. Recently, HP researchers developed a wireless data chip; the tiny device makes it possible to attach digital information to any surface, object or document. Other research includes the development of tools of economics to help businesses better predict quarterly revenues, expected demand for a product and other future events. Security innovations include Virus Throttle (shipped with all HP ProCurve blade servers) and Active Counter Measures, which scans an enterprise's network for vulnerabilities and protect networks from malicious attacks Project Work Statement (PDF file) The Jet Propulsion LaboratoryCompany Information: Trailblazing has been the business of JPL since it was established by the California Institute of Technology in the 1930s. America's first satellite, Explorer 1, was created at JPL. In the decades that followed, JPL sent the first robotic craft to the Moon and out across the solar system, reconnoitering all of the planets except one. Pushing the outer edge of exploration, in fact, is the reason JPL exists as a NASA laboratory. Project Work Statement (PDF file) Los Alamos National LaboratoryCompany Information: The Laboratory in Northern New Mexico has more than 9,000 employees and approximately 650 contractor personnel. From its origins as a secret Manhattan Project laboratory, Los Alamos has attracted world-class scientists and applied their energy and creativity to solving the nation's most challenging problems. That tradition remains today. As one of the U.S. Department of Energy's multi-program, multi-disciplinary research laboratories, Los Alamos thrives on having the best people doing the best science to solve problems of global importance. Project Work Statement (PDF file) Lawrence Livermore National LaboratoryCompany Information: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is a premier applied science laboratory that is part of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) within the Department of Energy (DOE). As a national security laboratory, LLNL is responsible for ensuring that the nation’s nuclear weapons remain safe, secure, and reliable through application of advances in science and engineering. With its special capabilities, the Laboratory also meets other pressing national security needs, which include countering the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and strengthening homeland security against the terrorist use of such weapons. Project Work Statement (PDF file) NASA Goddard Space Flight CenterCompany Information: Located in a Maryland suburb of Washington, DC, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is home to the Nation's largest organization of combined scientists and engineers dedicated to learning and sharing their knowledge of the Earth, solar system, and Universe. The mission of the Goddard Space Flight Center is to expand knowledge of the Earth and its environment, the solar system and the universe through observations from space. To assure that our nation maintains leadership in this endeavor, it is committed to excellence in scientific investigation, in the development and operation of space systems and in the advancement of essential technologies. Project Work Statement (PDF file) Pixar Animation StudiosCompany Information: Pixar Animation Studios is the industry leader in the creation of original stories in the medium of computer animation. It began with its first animated short film, Luxo Jr., shortly after being founded by Steve Jobs in 1986. For the next five-years, Pixar focused on developing the technologies necessary to produce the first completely computer animated feature film. Pixar’s relentless pursuit of creative technical solutions to the needs of the underlying story has made its films a unique mixture of cutting-edge visual special effects and good old fashion storytelling. Recent research advancements in fluid animation have once again raised the bar in computer graphics, providing motivation for Pixar to explore the animation of high viscosity/viscoelastic fluids. Project Work Statement (PDF file) SymantecCompany Information: Symantec is a global leader in providing software, appliances, and services to help individuals, small and mid-sized businesses, and large enterprises assure the security, availability, and integrity of their most important asset — information. At research and development facilities around the world, more than 3500 Symantec engineers are building solutions to help individuals and enterprises assure the security, availability, and integrity of their information. Project Work Statement (PDF file) TimeLogicCompany Information: TimeLogic has developed a variety of products in the area of biocomputing, including The DeCypher® Accelerated Bioinformatics Solutions which conducts genomic-scale analysis. DeCypher is optimal solution for computationally intensive bioinformatics analysis, including BLAST, Smith-Waterman, Hidden Markov Model Analysis, as well as their new GeneDetective system for gene modeling from existing cDNA and amino acid sequences.
