There are many challenges in creating Air Force systems that are resilient against cyber threats. The cyber environment and its threats are highly dynamic, requiring practices and training to be dynamic as well. Cyber threats must be considered during th...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Therapeutics is focused on the development of adjuvant systems with desired immune activities for targeted indications The Companyandapos s immune stimulatory adjuvant platform builds on combinatorial use of immune agonists with distinct immune targets and mechanisms of action for the generation of therapeutic immune responses Critical to this platform techno ...

Because of its high sensitivity polymerase chain reaction PCR is the gold standard for the diagnosis of many infectious diseases but generally only implemented in well equipped laboratories One of the major roadblocks for expanding PCR to point of care markets is the lack of simple robust single tube PCR designs which preserve its laboratory based high sensitivity and specificity In this F ...

Oceanit proposes to develop a flexible broad-band optical device capable of measuring optical properties.

Establish a radiation-aware analysis capability in a commercial EDA design flow that will enable first-pass success in radiation-hardened by design (RHBD) for DoD ASICs in much the same way that existing EDA design suites ensure first pass functionality and performance success of complex ASICs destined for commercial applications. Layout-aware, calibrated single-event radiation models that captur ...

The Air Force has identified a need for the creation of a common streaming model for 3D data that is agnostic to the display technology. To address this need, Third Dimension Technologies (TDT) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) propose to form a c...
