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 Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) recognizes the need for low-power high-bandwidth radiation-hard optical interconnects to process more data more quickly and to replace electronic data.Our companys core development in optical communications with semiconductor materials is a unique fit for DTRAs low-power consumption high-bandwidth radiation-hard intra-chip communication components for sat ...

A significant performance gap exists between the theoretical number of Floating Point Operations (FLOPS) that a HPC machine is capable of sustaining and the number of FLOPS realized by real-world HPC applications. One of the principle reasons for this gap is the parasitic work that computational processes must do to communicate with one another. It has been shown that this communication work can b ...

Orora Design Technologies proposes to develop electronic design automation (EDA) tools employing minimally invasive circuit design-based methods to mitigate single event effects (SEEs) for next generation Ultra-DSM CMOS (

Orora Design Technologies, teaming up ATK Mission Research and Boeing Solid-State Electronics, with the support from Oregon State University and Vanderbilt University, proposes to develop innovative mixed-mode and mixed-level simulation capacities for combined simulation of radiation and electrical performance to speed up simulation in radiation hard designs of VLSI circuits. The ultimate goal is ...

ACR proposes the development of novel composite systems for air burst munitions capable of releasing high temperature over an extended area. Investigation will use Fibrous Monolith (FM) processing and a cost-efficient, innovative reactive composite system to form an airburst system that will generate an expanding thermal cloud. The proposed FM system would have a cellular structure, consisting o ...

Standoff detection of improvised explosive devices continues to be one of the most critical tasks that security specialists must confront in a wide variety of applications, both military and civilian. There have been several approaches for standoff explosive detection. Each of them utilizes a different fundamental property of explosives to improve the sensitivity of detection. In this SBIR program ...

It is proposed to develop hybrid powders containing highly reactive filler coated by or embedded into a matrix of readily boiling, combustible binder. The binder materials, such as paraffin wax or red phosphorus are expected to ignite and burn within the expanding fireball while the reactive filler remains at the relatively low temperature at which the binder boils, and thus remains protected fro ...
