In Phase I a revolutionary system for digital imaging microscopy was demonstrated. The system is based on the newly-developed imaging technology of Wavefront Coding (WFC). WFC employs specialized aspheric optics and digital processing to greatly increasethe depth of field or depth of focus. WFC simultaneously decreases the size, weight, and cost of a variety of digital imaging systems. Depth o ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In this Phase II STTR project, the investigators plan to extend their successful Phase I feasibility demonstration to the development and manufacture of an RF body coil plus phased array receive system for use in high field clinical and research MRI systems. In Phase I, the feasibility of a large homogeneous transmit coil based on the TEM design was proven, pub ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The CF Quantum(r) sweat test system is a rapid, easily administered, cost effective method to diagnose cystic fibrosis (CF). The CF Quantum(r) patch (Q-patch) uses an ion-exchange reaction to produce a white precipitate which varies in size based on the chloride ion concentration of the sweat sample. Reacting the Q-patch with a chloride-containing solution (i.e ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Technology developments aimed at extending the ability of the elderly to live independently often target those people with a disability, chronic condition, or other known reason requiring help with their care. A critical gap in current research, specifically addressed by this STTR program, is assistance technology for the population of persons over 65 years of ...

Terahertz plasma wave detectors and emitters utilizing the high-density 2-D electrons in submicron AlGaInN/GaN-based Quantum Well Heterostructure Field Effect Transistors (QW-HFETs)with high-sensitivity levels for the sensing of terahertz (THz) frequency electromagnetic radiation are proposed and developed.

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Over 5 million word recognition tests are administered annually by audiologists in the United States with an associated cost of more than $100 million. These tests are currently performed manually by highly trained audiologists. This application describes the Phase II development of automated clinical speech recognition tests using clinical test recordings and ...

This proposed effort develops a NAVSYS Medical GPS Locator System that addresses two areas of concern in tracking the location and coordinating timing of events for trauma patients. Determining the timing of the treatment of trauma patients is an important aspect of increased survivability. Additionally, victims of mass trauma events may be sent to diverse locations for treatment. If the event ...
