The overall objective of this project (Phase I, II, and III) is to develop, fabricate, and test a novel biofidelic rat surrogate for the validation of primary blast loading conditions for mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The CFDRC/NJIT team will use extensive knowledge of blast loading characteristics and TBI studies coupled with past/ongoing efforts designing and testing a rat surrogate. In P ...

Navy needs a real-time graph embedding tool for analyzing huge graphs (millions of nodes and billions of edges) from diverse sources. However, current approaches cannot provide dynamic and scalable graph analytics to signify the military value of tactical data. In this project, InfoBeyond advocates EStreaming (Embedding & Streaming) for scalable and efficient graph streaming. EStreaming promotes b ...

Nevada Composites has developed Green-Aero(sm) toolinglightweight ceramic tooling that is stable under high pressure and long-duration cure cycles and can be washed out with water after cures to 370C (700F). Tools, whether single-sided or washout, have a composite-compatible CTE, provide tight tolerances, are reproducible, are stable to storage under ambient conditions, and are of affordable cost. ...

We are developing a platform for pharmacometric data analysis workflow that is much more flexible and efficient than anything else on the market. This will be accomplished by (1) developing new functions within Stan, a widely used, open-source, probabilistic programming language and Bayesian inference engine, for computationally efficient data analysis using complex differential equation models, ( ...

Nalas Engineering and Johns Hopkins University collaborated in a Phase I STTR program to study reactive mixtures of HI3O8 and nanocomposite fuels previously developed by the Weihs Group. These fuel/oxidizer mixtures are uniquely able to simultaneously produce heat and biocidal iodine gas, a combination designed to destroy biological weapons. The team at Nalas focused on evaluating conditions for p ...

The Air Force has identified a need for a display agnostic common streaming model for 3D data. Third Dimension Technologies (TDT) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have formed a consortium to define a 3D streaming model based on open standards for Display Agnostic 3D Streaming (DA3DS). Two factors are driving this need. The first is the dramatic increase in the collection, storage and trans ...

The Navy seeks technology based on statistical or computational methods to assist in the continued tracking of training performance and proficiency trends as underlying tactical data changes. OASYS, INC. and the ITCS at UAH proposes to exploit the benefits of modeling the underlying cause-effect structure of Navy data, rather than the data itself. This approach makes the model and analytical metho ...

Solid oxide fuel cells have long suffered from degradation due to impurities in the fuel and complexities associated with dissimilar materials and high operating temperatures.This degradation lowers the usable cell power output and requires ancillary equipment for fuel sulfur removal and reformation.A unique microstructure for the tubular anode will be produced using a novel freeze-casting techniq ...

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