The project team is developing and testing a prototype of Thinkzone, a blended learning portal intended for Kindergarten through Grade 8 teachers to host existing education learning games across core subject areas. The prototype will host games, and include a learning system to train educators to integrate games to replace or supplement instructional practice. In the Phase I pilot study will inclu ...

This project team is developing and testing a prototype of the Ivymount Social Readiness System, a mobile app designed for practitioners to assess the social and emotional strengths and deficits of kindergarten through Grade 6 students with high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders (HF-ASD). The prototype app will include an assessment rubric and professional development resources to facilitate i ...

This project team will develop and test a prototype of Emotion Explorer, a web-based program intended for kindergarten to Grade 2 students to create interactive storybooks to strengthen emotional literacy. Using the prototype, students will read and listen to storybooks focused on emotional literacy topics (i.e., emotion recognition, labeling, understanding, expression, regulation), after which th ...

To address the desire for a conductive network for parachute fabrics, Corvid Technologies proposes to develop a process to selectively apply conductive silicone rubber to conventional nylon fabric, characterize treated fabric performance, and develop a power and data network architecture. The proposed approach addresses the technical challenges associated with conductivity and durability in flexib ...

Technology for projectiles is rapidly advancing, including their fuzing and guidance technologies. Though wireless fuze setting technology based on radio frequencies (RF) has been around for some time, including new developments by Orbital ATK , optical programming methods, such as Rheinmetalls 40mm airburst ammunition, are being shown to be more advantageous for numerous reasons. Creative Microsy ...

A hybrid lithium ion battery / super capacitor energy storage device is developed that uses the high power capability of the super capacitor to satisfy pulsed power load requirements such that stress on the lithium ion batteries is reduced. This results in extended discharge time and higher efficiency utilization of the battery stack.

Vadum will design a very high dynamic range RF two-tone measurement system utilizing an active feed-forward canceller to achieve a dynamic range in excess of 120 dB. The system has a 400 MHz to 6 GHz operating bandwidth,

Gridbridge, a developer of advanced power management systems, will partner with Hamilton-Sunstrand Corporation, a developer of military systems, to develop a bi-directional battery isolator unit (BIU), as a replacement to the currently used manual switch that can connect the ignition system batteries to auxiliary batteries in Army vehicles. This BIU will employ an advanced solid-state, DC-DC conve ...
