DESCRIPTION (adapted from applicant's abstract): The long term objective of this Phase II project to develop and market an auto-docking securement system that can be used to secure a wheelchair in either public or private transport vehicle. The feasibility of the basic concept was demonstrated in the Phase I study. The specific aims of Phase I are: 1. to conduct side ...

Kigre is developing new scalable high gain broad band rare earth doped laser oscillator/amplifier glass materials & diode pump architectures in support of high energy and high power laser applications. What's new, exciting and different about Kigre's laser glass materials and constructs is the ability to efficiently store and extract 1000-10,000x more laser power from ultra-short gain lengths and ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Phase II STTR application is a continuation of a previous Phase I award between the Wright group at Dartmouth College and Promiliad Biopharma. The goal of this application is to continue our efforts to develop novel chemical libraries with the diversity and complexity common to natural products as a marketable product to the pharmaceutical industry. Key to ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term goal of the collaboration between the USC and Southern Sun BioSystems is to create a plant breeding and remediation technology-development center which would supply hardware, protocols for breeding-selection and mass production of elite plants for nurseries and remediation businesses, with licensing and tracking mechanisms for protecting intellect ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The broad long-term goals of this project are to develop more powerful proteomics detection technology with greatly improved sensitivity, that will reveal the global patterns of biologically stimulated changes (differen tial detection) in protein levels, posttranslational modifications and enzyme activities simultaneously (using 6-12 channel multicolor fluoresc ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Biobehavioral research in a range of basic and translational disciplines (particularly cognitive neuroscience, neuropsychology and experimental psychology) increasingly involves the integration of multiple devices for the collection of data, such as EEG, fMRI, eye-tracking and physiological measurements (galvanic skin response, EKG). Current state-of-the-art ex ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The wound repair process in skin is initiated immediately after an injury and induces a cascade of events including inflammation, proliferation, and scar differentiation. The adverse changes in skin structure and function resulting from scar tissue affects over 35 million US citizens a year resulting in costs of more than 7 billion dollars). The founders of Fir ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Phase II STTR proposal describes a collaborative effort between researchers in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Connecticut and Promiliad Biopharma to develop efficacious antibiotics targeting both methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Streptococcus pyogenes. We have recently completed a Phase I STT ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term goal of this effort is to develop an optical module that will reduce stray light within imaging systems, thereby providing more accurate measurements from digital images and increased dynamic range of detection to enable analysis of objects not currently measurable. The present Phase II proposal is aimed at greatly enhancing the analysis of multic ...
