In order to meet Defense Health Agencys need for anatomically correct, self-healing, synthetic tissues for surgical training, ChromoLogic proposes to develop synthetically formulated anatomically correct tissues (SYNFACT). Surgical training models will b

The main objective of this Phase II SBIR project is to evaluate a number of different self-healing tissue compositions suitable for incorporation into surgical training models.Successful implementation of Phase I formulations will be extended to a wider

Aret Associates and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) propose an interdisciplinary effort to further develop and validate a robust, operational biomonitoring application that can process soil microbiome data to reliably detect episodic and low-level chronic contamination while maintaining low false alarm rate.The Phase II SBIR work will build upon the successful Phase I proof-of-concept demonst ...

In order to meet the Defense Health Agencys need for addressing the prevention of secondary brain injury from moderate, severe and penetrating traumatic brain injury (TBI), ChromoLogic proposes to develop a cerebral trauma recovery (CereTRec) drug delivery system. In particular, CereTRec aims to treat TBI during prolonged field care (PFC) to stabilize casualties who sustain a moderate-severe TBI.I ...

This Phase 2 SBIR program will result in a commercializable and clinically tested Prosthetic Smart Auto-Alignment Tool (ProSAT), which addresses the need to facilitate rapid, accurate, quantitative, and systematic diagnosis and adjustment of the physical alignment of a prosthesis. ProSAT is a novel approach to alignment challenges by creating a hybrid sensor and smart tool system that can adjust e ...

The US Dept. of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics reports 15,300 non-fatal occupational incidents of respiratory illness during 2016.Many workers are exposed to harmful chemical vapors in the workplace.To study exposures to these vapors, industrial hygienists and environmental scientists use vapor-sampling technologies to measure both intensity and duration of exposures.Current air-sampling techno ...

Ultra-Wideband (UWB) possesses advantages in security (encryption, LPI/LPD, and jamming), connectivity (point-to-point, point-to-multipoint) and performance (data rates, user density, and simultaneous connections) that are ideal for Tactical Combat Casual

Deep Learning for standoff detection of Special Nuclear Material (DLeN) applies the same deep learning techniques that allow computers to beat human performance in image recognition and the game of Go to detecting Special Nuclear Material. Spectral analysis and signal processing can in some cases be augmented by the use of much larger neural nets that conduct much deeper analysis of features of th ...

Snakebite is an occupational hazard for military personnel on every continent except Antarctica and an estimated 75% of fatalities from snakebite occur outside the hospital setting. Yet, no field antidote exists. Small molecule inhibition of snake venom sPLA2s and metalloproteases (svMP) will successfully treat most life- and limb-threatening snakebites without need for advanced treatment faciliti ...

The nature of military operations leads to high noise levels, exposing personnel to the possibility of noise induced hearing loss (NIHL). Individual hearing monitoring is conducted yearly which can only provide a record of the progression of irreversible hearing loss with limited options for intervention and mitigation. Furthermore, there is limited data that links actual, real-world noise exposur ...
