In resource limited settings, rapid and accurate diagnosis of infections is critical for managing potential exposures to highly virulent pathogens, whether occurring from an act of bioterrorism or a natural event. This is especially important for hard to detect intracellular bacterial and alphavirus infections, that overlap symptomatically and often treated empirically due to a lack of reliable an ...

Opterus Research and Development, Inc. (Opterus) and Colorado State University (CSU) have combined the best features of high strain composites (HSC), continuum robots, and tendon actuated robots to develop a new concept called Continuum Actuated Redundant Tendon (CART) Robot to enable self-reconfigurable modular robots that can perform various tasks (e.g., walking, crawling, wheeling, and grasping ...

Rapidly expanding Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations force traditional ground-based tracking methods to adapt as the current ground sensor networks can no longer provide a data rich tracking environment. Accurate tracking information is continually consumed by the Government and private sector to varying degrees of accuracy throughout satellites’ mission lifecycles to provide and uti ...
