Infectious disease is a serious threat to military personnel in operations in third world countries. The ability to rapidly diagnose disease is critical to initiate treatment and to reduce troop mortality. This research addresses the DoD need to adaptstate-of-the-art technology to develop a rapid, field-usable assay capable of diagnosing scrub typhus infection. ChelaTech has developed new compo ...

This Phase I SBIR Project will develop an Advanced Unbalance Control (AUC) system based on active magnetic bearing (AMB) technology and advanced feedforward control algorithms. The AUC system will offer at least an order of magnitude increase in bothresponse speed and unbalance response reduction as compared to the best available mechanical unbalance cancellation methods. This will be accomplish ...

Many Department of Defense (DoD) sites are contaminated with contaminants of concern (CoCs) that are hazardous to humans and the environment requiring novel remediation strategies. MSE Technology Applications, Inc. and the Center for Biofilm Engineering(Montana State University) propose this Phase I STTR to develop novel, biofilm-based, remediation technologies for in situ and ex situ bioremediati ...

There is great anticipation and an urgent need to develop a low viscosity, affordable, non-styrene based, flame resistant resin system similar to the vinyl ester Derekane 510A and curable at room temperature. This resin system, compliments of DowChemical, is a Brominated bisphenol and has work quite well relative to confined place. There is a need to find an alternate material that will produce n ...

The objective is completion of the project, initiated in Phase I, to generate transgenic chickens capable of expressing and secreting specified proteins into the whites of eggs, allowing economical large scale production. In the Phase I effort, seventeenbirds were shown to have generated transgenic sperm as demanded by the criteria for success specified in the research protocols. This satisfies ou ...

Phase II prototype evaluation of the Mobile Cleaning Reclaim and Recovery (MCRRS) concept culminates the project goal of developing an effective deck cleaning vehicle for operation aboard aircraft carriers. The innovation and the enabling technology forthe vehicle is a cyclone based integrated wash water recycle system. The recycle system is instrumental in the vehicle's meeting a 10,000 ft2/ hr ...

The Army has a critical need to accelerate and improve terrain analyses from remotely sensed imagery to support the increasingly mobile requirements of the Army Warfighter. Existing techniques for terrain analysis, topographic, and reproduction supportare slow, labor intensive processes that do not meet the needs of the Force XXI digital battlefield. Previous research has shown that incorporatin ...

The proposed system will give an approach for increasing the speed, accuracy, and validation of feature extraction models while simultaneously creating an environment that allows both the flexibility for power users and the simplicity for the majority ofusers (novice users that can be trained and effective in a day) - and a mechanism that allows the two levels of users to seamlessly work together ...
