Project Summary This SBIR Commercialization Readiness Pilot project will prepare and achieve the commercial launch of Bio- Circuit Technologies’ Nerve Tape® device for sutureless nerve repair. Nerve injuries are common and result in paralysis, sensory loss, and chronic pain. In current repair techniques, the ends of a cut nerve are microsutured back together under high magnification by a specia ...

5G (including licensed-Cellular, CBRS, and next-generation Wi-Fi 6E/7), Next-G, high-performance networks, as enablers for next-generation Edge and Cloud computing, are anticipated to offer more efficient and superior capabilities. Considering the anticipated disruptive capabilities provided by such networks, the Department of Defense (DoD), other federal government agencies, and the private secto ...

Project Summary Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) affects ~300,000 people in the US, with 11,000 new cases/year. After SCI, spinal reflex function becomes abnormal, contributing to motor impairments and spasticity that affects 65-78% of people with SCI. Thus, restoring the function of spinal reflex pathways is a major therapeutic goal. Current therapies are only moderately successful; motor function often ...

Advanced aircraft incorporate resistive materials into their structures and these materials need to be inspected and maintained. Current methods for inspection of these materials may include 4-point probes such as the Loresta or Hiresta probes. However, s

The Defense Department is working hard on developing both hypersonic offensive and defensive capabilities. But in the immediate future, one of the most important areas to be developed is increasing the capacity at which such systems can be produced, said

In unmanned underwater vehicles and underwater sensor networks underwater ranging is becoming of increasing importance. Laser-based ranging techniques offer the potential of high resolution and high speed. However, the challenging underwater environments could limit the performance of the optical ranging system. Specifically, (a) dynamic scattering particles distorts the optical beam in both time ...

This proposal provides a detailed account of our Team’s previous work through the Magnetic Braking and Electric Taxiing Program and provides a pathway for building and testing a brake system that has been designed and developed for the F-35 Lightening II aircraft platform.  Having competed the effort of designing the magnetic braking and electric taxiing system for a commercial Airbus A320, C-1 ...

Currently, a waveguide cavity probe operating at C-band (4-8 GHz) is used to check the surface impedance of electrically conductive surfaces on advanced aircraft. This probe is built as a resonator because conventional free-space probes lack sufficient se

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACTEach year over 20 million adults with moderate fear and over 14 million adults with severe fear visit the dentist. Because fear portends poor future oral health, patients with dental fear come to experience their worst fears: pain, surgical procedures, and the need for more frequent dental visits. Avoidance is the natural and reinforced response, ironically guaranteeing a r ...
