To address CBDs need for development of analytical approaches to fuse sensor data from multiple modalities to provide common operationalpictures in threat environments, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a Wavelet-based Approach for Signal Processing andAnalysis (WASP). WASP is based on novel application of wavelet-based analysis to multimodel, multidimensional data available fr ...

As a foundational component of a Layered Sensing architecture, Toyon proposes to develop a Multi-Modal Fusion Module (M2FM) capable ofconfirming detections from Chemical, Biological and Radiological (CBR) sensing networks by fusing together information from other (non-CBR)sensors. The module will provide information to assist operators in confirming an initial CBR detection or rejecting it as a fa ...

San Diego Composites, Inc. (SDC) is developing the Reinforced Additively Manufactured Compression Assisted Molding (RAMCAM) pod to produce on-demand, corrosion resistant, aluminum and stainless steel equivalent parts in less than three days. RAMCAM combines the advantageous 2 day lead time of custom parts produced by 3D printing with the 1 day forging of structural parts via composite compression ...

To address the Chemical and Biological Defense programs (CBDs) need for medical countermeasures against mycotoxin intoxication, PhysicalOptics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Mycotoxin Neutralization Treatment (MyNT). This proposed solution is based on neutralizingmycotoxin from its deleterious effects by acting on multiple levels of mycotoxin metabolism through the novel combination o ...

Industrial Microbes is developing a green fermentation platform to replace carbon-emitting petrochemical production with newer methods that build chemicals out of methane and carbon dioxide.Chemical production is a major source of carbon pollution, responsible for 18% of direct industrialemissions. Our innovation is an engineered microbe that can consume carbon dioxide and methane and produce a ch ...

To address the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) needs for 3D printing technology for the medical supply chain, Interlog Corporation proposes to develop a new Hybridized Additive Manufacturing for Medical Equipment (HAMME) technology enabling to build multiple material equipment/supplies in a single platform. The HAMME is based on a unique, precision instantaneous energy generation mechanism providin ...

Discharge of nutrients (e.g. phosphorus and ammonia) to surface waters can cause eutrophication and the formation of toxic algal blooms, threatening human health and the environment. However, current phosphorus treatment technologies such as chemical precipitation and conventional biological systems can be costly and ineffective to reliably achieve impending effluent regulatory limits of

The final product will include a suite of three app-based puzzle games aligned to national math standards for number sense, algebraic thinking, and problem solving. The games will be designed for use in grade 5 and 6 classrooms where students develop and apply content expertise to solving challenges. The games will include an adaptive engine that assesses and adjusts content based on student level ...

In this proposal, we aim to validate the human gut microbiome and arid soil as a source of antibiotic natural products (NPs ) by using ametagenomic NP discovery platform developed at Radiant Genomics. Recent studies suggest that the genomes of uncultivated microorganisms,like their cultivated counterparts, encode an enormous number of NPs. Gaining systematic access to NPs using standard, cultivati ...

In prior research and development, the team and their partners developed EdSurge Concierge, an online platform to facilitate school improvement. With this Phase I funding, the project team will develop and test a next prototype of the platform with improved capability to generate information administrators need to make decisions on selecting technology tools to drive school improvement. The protot ...
