Abstract Nytricx is developing a new class of Nitric Oxide (NO)-releasing intravascular medical catheters to combat infection and thrombosis associated with indwelling vascular catheters. NO gas is a natural anti-infective and anti-thrombotic human product principally released from blood vessels and immune cells. Nytricx NO-releasing technology to the catheter surfaces via a polymer matrix, mimics ...

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 the DoD/IC, MapLarge initially worked with DARPA to bring to the IC its ability to commercially process billions of cell phone geospatial locations per day. The MapLarge Platform supports numerous National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) programs,

Since World War 2, normal aircraft braking is achieved through a system of hydraulically activated carbon brakes located on the main wheels of the aircraft. These friction based systems offer limited performance and reduced braking capabilities due to brake fade, overheating, thermal loading issues, and generally higher operational, maintenance, repair and overhaul  costs  over  the  life  cy ...

Project Summary/AbstractInfection is the major complication of virtually all medical devices. It is estimated that 2 million patients acquire a nosocomial infection in the US every year and the CDC estimates that the financial impact of these infections exceeds 5 billion dollars annually. At least half of these infections are directly associated with medical devices. Most commonly, the diagnosis o ...

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 ...

The current AgilityHealth measurement and performance platforms are used by over 70 commercial customers and government civilian agencies. Over 16,500 assessments with over 100,000 participants across 8,000 teams have been accomplished. Currently AgilityHealth is able to scale it’s solution across 23,000 individuals at a large enterprise while running assessments multiple times a year for every ...

The objective of this effort is to develop a novel prototype receiver architecture capable of 16+ GHz of instantaneous bandwidth (IBW).The main performance benefit from this type of technology will be very fast detection times. Combining ultra wideband ha

In Phase I, the CMFD system feasibility was demonstrated on a simulation modeled on the Makino T4 CNC machine being used at the 402nd Commodities Maintenance Group at WR-ALC. The simulation was tuned to represent approximate operation conditions of the ma
