The Tasso HemoLink is an integrated device that aims at simplifying blood collection. The wearable device was engineered with a focus on simplicity both for the user, by integrating all the traditional steps of blood collection in a simple press of a button, and for the laboratory workflow, by collecting the sample in a detachable reservoir that can insert into standard laboratory analyzers. We wi ...

This project aims to achieve trustworthy deep learning (TDL)-based distributed computation among wireless connected Naval devices (sensors, UAVs, mobile phones, ships, etc.) through the seamless integration of cryptography, a complimentary classifier, and communications (C4). Distributed Deep Learning (DDL) runs in a distributed Naval network setting and is vulnerable to attacks that have knowledg ...

DoD avionics and mission systems are expensive, vendor-locked, slow in development, and difficult to update to meet evolving requirements. Avilution’s eXtensible Flight System (XFS) software provides a modular, open-system architecture for addressing these issues. XFS rapidly integrates existing unmodified avionics products with dissimilar physical busses and different data protocols to cre ...

With 10 billion people expected on the planet by 2050, serious innovations are needed to meet the expected 50% increase in demand for protein. Beta Hatch is industrializing the production of insects for agriculture, pioneering our first crop, the yellow mealworm as an animal feed ingredient.. In Phase 1 we developed novel feed formulations to bring down the costs of insect production, enhance the ...

To meet DARPA’s specified needs, X-Bow (pronounced “Crossbow”) will infuse advanced manufacturing (AM) methods to produce its small launch vehicle. The vehicle will be capable of rapid and affordable on-demand launch of small payloads. There are ample commercially available opportunities to infuse automated and AM techniques into tanks, nozzles, and other mechanical components. However, ther ...

Care for the wounded Warfighters in austere and remote settings makes medical knowledge, skills and efficiency of the military medical professional paramount. For wounds that extend deep into internal anatomy, proper visualization of internal anatomy can

Traumatic injuries account for 30% of all life years lost in the US and is the leading cause of death for people under 46 years of age. Uncontrolled bleeding or hemorrhage constitute 30-40% of trauma related deaths and are considered to be a major cause o

The high rate of non-medical Soldiers (Combat Lifesavers and self-aid/buddy-aid) performing field care necessitates additional medical training for those Warfighters. Unfortunately, most non-medical personnel are not provided with opportunities to practic

Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) are a dangerous and effective weapon system that today’s military warfighters and innocent civilians regularly experience. IEDs are created with randomly assembled materials and their payloads may include projectiles, biological toxins, and other dangerous items that can cause injury or death to personnel and equipment. Detection and neutralization of these we ...

Terrorist use of radioactive nuclear materials via nuclear and/or radiological dispersion devices (dirty bombs) is a serious threat. Therefore, it is crucial to detect proliferation of nuclear material. Critical challenges include: (a) high sensitivity detection of signature emissions from radioactive isotopes, and (b) cost-effectiveness for deployment of sensor networks across large storage facil ...
