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 ...

The objective of this project is to develop and demonstrate a microwave flow cytometer technique for online detection, differentiation and counting of solid particles and spiked Escherichia coli (E. coli) in filtered water. The total number of particles, particle size distribution between 0.5 and 5 microns, E. coli and E. coli viability in water samples will be obtained without using chemical rea ...

The objective is development of a safe, effective delivery device for carbon monoxide (CO) for preservation of vascularized composite tissues for longer periods than currently possible. CO has previously demonstrated significant benefits for organ preservation in small animal models, however, there were safety issues that impeded translation to the clinic. The immediate objectives in this Phase I ...

This Small Business Innovative Research Phase I project is to develop a broad band detection system for air toxicity. Our overall objective is to show that honey bee orientation and locomotor behaviors can be used as reliable and measurable indicators of certain airborne toxicants. Locomotor sufficiency and directional orientation are behaviors that should unambiguously indicate toxicant exposu ...

This project develops a conjugate vaccine against Shigella flexneri 2a utilizing cGMP-compatible manufacturing processes. The antigenic component of the vaccine is deacylated-polysaccharide from the bacterial LPS that has an average of one O-antigen repeat unit per polysaccharide molecule. The polysaccharide is deacylated by a biological process, and has a core structure with intact phophosphory ...

A concept is presented for improving the service-life, performance and durability of air filters. This concept proposes to replace disposable fiber air filters with permanently installed self-cleaning filters that can be cleaned by air blast in the opposite direction, without removing the filter from its canister. The proposed self-cleaning filter is made from plastic discs and contains micro-pass ...

Many Unites States Army, and other Department of Defense (DoD) sites, are contaminated with a variety of contaminants including highly energetic compounds, such as 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), chlorinated aliphatics (such as trichloroethylene,TCE) and chlorinated aromatics. These compounds often persist in soil or groundwater for extended periods of t ...
