Statistically valid procedures will be developed for a readily accessible, user-friendly pc-based system to quantitatively analyze and correlate serial images from radiolabeled brain sections. the utility of these procedures will be established by the correlative analysis of the effect of opiate… More

The company is currently contracted to provide a micro computer based medical imaging system to the johns hopkins university medical school to be used to analyze peceptor autoradiograms. the system, consisting of hardware and software, will be delivered in february 1984. it quantifies optical… More

The purpose of this project is to develop a low-cost system that will increase the speed and efficiency of reading and processing dna sequencing data. video-based imaging technology will be utilized for fast acquisition, and adaptations of processing programs will be developed for automated… More

The objective is to develop a new positron multidetector brain analysis system. the project includes the feasibilitydemonstration of a computer-controlled system to analyze brain tumors using registered images such as mr/ct. a mathematical model incorporating anatomical information frommr is… More

The goal of this phase i effort is to develop and validate a capability for quantitative analysis and display of ct, mri, and ect images of the brain. we propose to develop and validate the overall approach of multi-modal image registration and display of the images, filtering of ect data to… More

This project will develop a computer program for functional assessment of epithelial tissue in the gastrointestinal (gi)tract. the computer program relating image analysis to epithelial tissue kinetics and regeneration will be implemented on the existing loats associates, inc., portable computer… More

This project is for the development of an automated color based micronuclei assay system based on results of a prototype ms-dos color analysis system. the system will automatically locate and count polychromatic erythrocytes (pce's), micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (mpces) and… More

This project will research and develop a new class of electro-actuation device that makes use of the special properties of piezoelectric polymers. This new class of device makes use of an innovative design which enables it to serially accumulate large numbers of small piezoelectrically induced… More

This research is aimed at the development of an automated system for corneal endothelial cellcounting and morphology analysis. This system will be useful for both researcher and clinicians. Theincorporation of direct high-resolution acquisition of endothelial cell images, which allows analysis of… More

In this project we will provide proof-of-principle validation of a handheld, fieldable biosensor specifically for the detection and screening of contaminants in foodstuffs at the various stages of food treatment, preparation and processing. The multi-analyte,… More

This proposal addresses Topic X6.02, Space Assembly Maintenance and Servicing. Spacecraft surface attachments, such as handholds, foot-restraints or tether points are often installed prior to flight, to aid planned EVA (Extravehicular Activity) operations. However, such aids are precluded where… More
