A unique, wireless, body-worn system to establish on-body collection and intra-squad communication of physiologic and geo-position information is essential to the reduction of soldier heat-injuries, enables advanced physiologic research and provides a mea

This proposal addresses the problem of PCSS/laser trigger integration using a single monolithic laser diode array, thus simplifying the entire optical delivery network necessary for efficient operation of PCSSs. The proposal constitutes a logical continuation of Phase I effort where the main focus was on the detailed design of the PCSS/laser diode array (LDA) integrated architecture. In Phase II ...

To achieve the goals of this program improving spectral coverage and output power of monolithic QCL sources - we propose to develop in collaboration with MIT Lincoln Laboratory a broadly tunable high power source that is based on Eos proprietary QCL array technology. The current generation of Eos commercially available fully packaged QCLAs (The Matchbox) can be tuned over a wavelength range of u ...

High-Dimensional Model Representation (HDMR) is a technique for efficiently representing the input/output behavior of a complex system. HDMR is a useful tool for scientists and engineers in two common circumstances. The first is when a computationally-exp

A low-risk, high-confidence, CSTAT-compatible HIFU hemostasis system that can be operated remotely was developed during Phase I to improve battlefield medicine to save lives. The system is based on a 23 channel annular HIFU phased array with a built-in co

The proposed research of Tienta Sciences and Purdue University focuses on the development of novel, tunable super-lenses for nanoscale optical sensing and imaging of bio-molecules. We will describe how to design near-field superlens with controlled freque

The overall goal of this research work is to design, build and evaluate high performance above-knee prosthetic systems suitable for military specific maneuvers. Existing above-knee prostheses are limited by the lack of compact energy sources, actuators, power regeneration methods, and control methods for active knee actuation. This proposal seeks to improve the dynamic performance of above-the-k ...

Recent development in negative index materials has triggered great interest in imaging through a flat lens, and perhaps even ¡ superlensing¡": exceeding the classical diffraction limit by capturing both evanescent and propagating wave components. Though d

Scientific Systems Company Inc. (SSCI) and University of California, Berkeley (UCB) jointly propose to implement and test computer-aided Autonomous Formation Flying Control Technology (AFF-CT) for heterogeneous formations of manned he

In this project, Energid Technologies and Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) will develop a telerobotic High Frequency Ultrasound (HIFU) system. HIFU is a non-invasive technique for applying therapy within a patient's body without affecting the interveni
