There are often secondary or tertiary effects to blast-related injuries including ear injury and hearing loss, which may also result in cognitive and linguistic deficits. The PALS medical Phase I prototype will be a modular addition to our existing technologies that assist with the rehabilitation of traumatic brain injury and gait training for patients with stroke, cerebral palsy and amputations. ...

This SBIR development effort concentrates on blade tip clearance management in the high pressure turbine. Improved seals in this location of a gas-turbine engine provide the highest benefits to overall engine efficiency, service life, stability and stall margin. The COAS proposed will deliver a 3-5% decrease in SFC and a 30-50¢XC decrease in exhaust gas temperature. The ATG COAS is a non-contac ...

The thrust of this program is to perform research and development that will result in diamond sensors that can be integrated with a silicon-based integrated circuit for incorporation into the skin of cognitive missiles and other air vehicles. These sensors will be fabricated on a silicon chip to allow readout of data in real time. AET will design sensor readout circuitry and have it fabricated by ...

The proposed capability will model the debris flyout and the rubble volume resulting from a munition detonation. Fidelity will be tunable so that an application can model rubble effects ranging from a low fidelity point feature with volume and dimensional attributes, to a medium fidelity areal feature with the shape and size of the rubble pile, to the highest fidelity with individual rubble pieces ...

ArchieMD, Inc. proposes to develop a 3-D Multimedia Battlefield Trauma Training Kit. During Phase II we will develop comprehensive modules for treatment of thoracic and abdominal injuries. We propose to integrate visual 3-D computer models, video recording of the actual treatments, and an interactive virtual patient to develop a comprehensive, effective training tool military surgical teams. The p ...

This project combines 3D computer graphics and gaming technology to provide a nonlinear, immersive biology simulation ca lled OrganiSims. OrganiSims will be designed to convey highlevel biology concepts in a manner that engages high school students, and unify biology concepts while illustrating how these concepts interact. OrganiSims will enable students to observe and experiment with the key biol ...

ArchieMD, Inc. and Medical Education Technologies, Inc. (METI) propose to integrate ArchieMD’s multimedia medical education technology with METI’s patient simulator technology using mixed reality goggles. Using mixed reality goggles, 3D imagery will be superimposed over the view of the user. This will enable the user to get additional 3D didactic information while using the patient simulator ...

Orthopedic injuries have comprised a majority of combat injuries in most recent conflicts. These orthopedic injuries are significantly different than those experienced in the civilian sector, making it difficult for military orthopedic surgeons to develop and sustain battlefield-relevant surgical skills. ArchieMD, Inc. proposes to develop a 3-D Multimedia Training System for Treatment Battlefi ...

The “smart dust” micro-radio concept developed by DARPA provides an outstanding demonstration of the potential of distributed micro-sensor networks connected by low-power radio frequency (RF) data links in a self-organizing network. Distributed micro-sensor and control networks are poised to become a major component in the global information grid (GIG), and have vast potential in DoD and Homel ...

The objective of this SBIR Phase II program is to test and validate a feature-based algorithm for Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) applications that was successfully demonstrated during the Phase I effort. This algorithm exploits Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) technology to fuse data provided by multiple battlefield sensors. In particular, the Phase II program shall process Ladar, IR, and TV sens ...
