The project designs, tests, and evaluates the Teach ME system. The Teach ME system embodies universal design for learning principles by using smart sensor technology to create manipulative activities for all students and specifically addresses the needs of students with cognitive disabilities. Research identifies a family of radio frequency (rf) passive tags, both regular and anti-collision, and ...

The solicitation calls for "approaches for providing a safe environment for detecting software vulnerabilities and malicious code. Determine how these approaches might be employed in typical development/sustainment processes and facilities." The approach we believe will return the greatest benefit with a low cost is converting a Windows (or Linux as the sponsor requires) PC into an instrumented s ...

Cybernet will develop Behavior Detection Modules for the purpose of detecting, detecting, tracking, analyzing, and interpreting biomotion behaviors, including the prediction of hostile actions and alerting the Army to suspicious events. The final unit will be a portable, battery powered, ruggedized, and designed to function optically in extreme light and environmental conditions. Crowd recogniti ...

This Phase I SBIR project will develop models for the wave propagation in a geological stratigraphy including vegetation, snow and ice. The overall goal is to develop macromodels for near ground signal propagation which will be plugged into EMTerrano, EMAG’s 3D ray tracing simulation software. In particular, the propagation models developed at the University of Michigan will be examined thorough ...

This proposed Phase I SBIR effort initiates development of a wireless pressure sensor system for characterizing the temporal evolution of the pressure field during deployment of parachutes and also measuring pressures across different fabric materials. The primary outcome of this project is a fully-integrated media isolated micropackaged ultra-high sensitivity pressure sensor module with a size of ...

This is a proposal to research new methods of coating small particles using a water-based electroplating process. These methods would build upon existing technology, in which small particulates are placed into a metallic-ion-containing electrolyte solution inside an electroplating device. The particulates are repeatedly stirred, allowing sedimentation to occur by gravity until a sedimentation laye ...

Shape memory materials have shown great potential in MEMS applications, including improved housing structural performance and packaging reliability. In this Phase I study, new shape memory material processing and manufacturing technology will be developed, i.e. (1) Severe deformation of CNT-SMP composites for improved CNT dispersion, to be considered for MEMS housing structure materials with high ...

The objective of this proposal is to create a consulting framework that reduces associated professional development costs for schools implementing the technology recommendations of NCLB Title I, Part D. This is achieved by creating an aggregation platform and methodology for integrating data in both Student Interchange Format (SIF) and non-SIF sources into digital representations of learning manag ...

Transparent armor face shields for soldiers are problematic because desirable mechanical properties must be coupled with good transparency and low areal densities. Despite excellent properties offered by polycar-bonates their properties have not kept up with advances in non-transparent armor. New materials are needed. Mayaterials believes that transparent glass fiber reinforced composites, FRCs co ...

The objective of the proposed SBIR program is to develop a new and general design methodology for laying out innovative composite structures with imbedded sensing and actuation capabilities, which can be used in Army’s future ground vehicles programs for improving structural performance and multi-functionality. Innovative active/reactive structure concepts will be direct outcomes of the new des ...
