The U.S. Army is interested in the development of innovative materials, films, coatings and technologies or manufacturing techniques which allow current U.S. Army airdrop related hardware and equipment to survive fresh and salt water operations with increased reliability and without damage and significant maintenance impact. Resodyn Corporation proposes for development a durable, moisture-impermea ...

Soldiers employ multiple digital assets on the battlefield for digital communications and surveillance.These sources do not support SECRET level classification and may not ever.The Nett Warrior system is an integrated system that allows soldiers to use Android devices for SECRET level tactical and front-line use (e.g., common operating picture, data feeds, real-time comms, etc.).These new non-SECR ...

Trusted Semiconductor Solutions proposes development of a flexible solid state disk (SSD) architecture that leverages state-of-the-art commercial non-volatile memories and integrates them into a compact, scalable device. The SSD will included stacked 3D NAND flash and a control module to access memory and communicate to the host through a standard communication interface present in Arm Group UAS. ...

The Army uses software applications and databases throughout its tactical systems to provide mission critical services. With mission software moving towards laptops and mobile devices in network disconnected environments, there is a need for a single-instance database solution which provides cell-level visibility with data provenance as information traverses the database. This will allow the Arm ...

Wearable devices have grown to meet the demand for continuous, noninvasive vital signs monitoring in the military and civilian health care markets. These devices have largely excluded pulse oximetry because non-traditional sites, such as the chest, arm and legs, pose a challenge. We have previously demonstrated the ability to accurately monitor pulse oximetry on the chest, arms and calf. This p ...

This project develops a nutrition program, MenuChoice©, for community-based group homes for persons with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD). Adults with IDD experience poorer nutritional health and more nutrition-related secondary conditions than adults without disabilities. These conditions are preventable and modifiable through a safe, healthful diet, but multiple challenges precl ...

This project develops an electroencephalography (EEG)-based training tool to enable individuals to improve neurocognitive processes associated with executive function through the use of neurofeedback, a form of biofeedback in which real-time measures of brainwave activity are presented to an individual in a manner that enables them to willfully control aspects of their brainwave activity with the ...

This project develops a multimodal computer graphics visualization tool that is based on an inexpensive consumer electronic product, a wireless haptic accessory device, and visualization software. During Phase I, a prototype is developed and compared against hard-copy embossed print outs and an expensive piezo-electric display. This research is based on the issues faced by the blind and visually i ...

This project develops and evaluates an accident prevention system for manual wheelchairs. A stability control system, similar to technology available for passenger cars is developed and evaluated to establish its feasibility and utility to independent wheelchair users. There were more than 80,000 emergency room visits in 2008 due to wheelchair falls. Falls cause significant physical and potentiall ...

A SPECTRALLY AGILE BASED UPON A TUNABLE FILTER CAN EFFECTIVELY MEASURE INFRARED BACKGROUND, TARGETS, AND OBSCURANT CLOUDS. AN INTEGRATED OPTICS INTEGRATED FILTER (IOTF) PLACED IN FRONT OF THE SENSOR FOCAL PLANE OR INTEGRATED WITH THE FOCAL PLANE DETECTORS CAN BE USED TO SELECT WAVEBAND LOCATION AND BANDWIDTH IN THE INFRARED. A SPECIFIC CONCEPT FOR THE FILTER IS PROPOSED BASED UPON A MACHZEHNDER IM ...
