Because the data products generated by modern imaging ladar systems are inherently large in information content, there is currently a severe bottleneck in the communications of these products to end users, particularly when full-waveform recovery is desired. During the Phase I effort, Bridger demonstrated that their 3D imaging system architecture was ideally suited for seamless integration of high ...

This is a Phase II project to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a responsively designed web application, Goal Guide, that enables individuals with intellectual disabilities and autism to effectively manage self-defined goals for everyday living across personal, educational, and vocational life domains. Users will be able to easily enter goals, work with data for each goal, engage with info ...

Resodyn Corporation proposes to develop a novel cold chain system with a Lifetime Warranty (20+ years) for the vacuum container.The container is composed of a passive energy efficient system for transporting blood and pharmaceuticals in hostile environments for up to three days.Capacity is four unit blood transfusion bags.Energy efficiency is possible by the novel shape and super insulating qualit ...

The uremic syndrome is a disabling condition attributed to the progressive retention of solutes that would normally be excreted by the kidneys and which interact negatively with physiological systems/functions. These are broadly defined as uremic toxins. Hemodialysis treatment is prescribed for the majority of individuals in the final stages of renal failure. However, better dialysis options (leng ...

A complete understanding of a flexible helicopter rotor flight envelope requires computational resources beyond the reach of most design engineers. However, the advent of desktop computers with multi-core CPUs and GPUs makes such computations affordable if the software is designed to use multi-core hardware efficiently. Phase I demonstrated the feasibility of a re-engineering tool that facilitates ...

UVCleaning Systems will develop a greywater remediation and recycling system for Army kitchen sanitation centers by combining COTS pre-filtration and ultrafiltration technologies, to reliably reduce all greywater contaminant concentrations except BOD to within the requirements of the solicitation, together with a new UVCleaning Systems photocatalytic reactor following the ultrafiltration membrane ...

The previously conducted Phase I project had two goals: (1) to prototype and evaluate the feasibility of an intelligent computer-based task management application that would improve the ability of persons with cognitive disabilities to perform activities of daily living (ADL) and (2) to identify objectives for full development of a deployable system in a Phase II project. Intelligent multimedia ...

We propose to analyze and design prototype hardware, and demonstrate basic capabilities in a Phase I effort, based on coherent accumulation and interference of spectrally shaped waveforms to achieve wideband RF arbitrary waveform generation. The combined specifications include bandwidths of 10-40 GHz, time bandwidth products >>50 given the bandwidth and long time apertures with complete control o ...

Voxtel will develop a prototype ultra-high temporal resolution flash LADAR receiver suitable for unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) or unmanned air vehicle (UAV) applications, based upon its low-excess-noise, multi-stage avalanche photodiode (APD) technology. During the Phase I program, 5-stage InGaAs APDs where shown to have a multiplication noise characterized by k=0.02 at a gain of M=20 (20× lower ...

A team steeped in military electro-optical systems, flexible displays, and printed inorganic electronics proposes to prototype a flexible UV through short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) detector array, fabricated from solution using a novel set of flexible, transparent doped metal oxide semiconductors. The detector arrays will be implemented on the team’s ISO-qualified roll-to-roll flexible display ...
