Narrowband Perfect Absorber using Metamaterials
SBC: PHOEBUS OPTOELECTRONICS LLC Topic: CBD11102We propose a metamaterial-enhanced microbolometer with strong absorption over a narrow band that is dynamically tunable over the 8-10 micron band. A single-layer photonic metamaterial consisting of a thin metal film perforated with a 2-D array of dielectric apertures will be deposited on an amorphous-Silicon layer acting as an absorber and bolometer. The metamaterial, in conjunction with planar di ...

No Power Detection and Identification of Nerve Agents
SBC: LYNNTECH INC. Topic: CBD10101Identification of organophosphates (OPs) based nerve agents, is vital to the protection of U.S. armed forces personnel. Existing detection methods use bulky and expensive laboratory equipment, negating their battlefield use. Colorimetric indicators such as the currently deployed M8 and M9 detection papers are the fastest, cheapest, and easiest type of detector to use; however, these cannot detect ...

3D Tip Characterization and Surface Reconstruction
SBC: Nanometrology International, Inc. Topic: 9070168TTNanometrology International, Inc. (NMI) proposes to demonstrate the feasibility of 3-dimensional (3D) characterization of nanoscale objects using scanning probe microscopy (SPM) with a measurement uncertainty of less than 0.7 nm. To accomplish this task, we propose a novel method of 3D tip characterization and use of an innovative surface reconstruction algorithm recently introduced by NIST and th ...

Multiplex Microsphere Assay for Botulinum Neutralizing Antibodies
SBC: AGAVE BIOSYSTEMS INC. Topic: CBD11109Currently, the accepted standard experimental model for measuring protective efficacy against botulism is the Mouse Lethality Neutralization (MLN) assay. Botulism poisoning is a life threatening condition that is not only a public health concern, but could also be a potential biological weapon. With seven serotypes of botulinum neurotoxins, there is need for an alternative to the MLN assay due t ...

A High-Throughput Blood Esterase Panel Assay
SBC: AGAVE BIOSYSTEMS INC. Topic: CBD10108Organophosphorus chemical warfare nerve agents (OP-CWA) are attractive to terrorist groups and rogue states as an inexpensive and accessible technology for chemical warfare. OP-CWA and organophosphate pesticides cause severe neurological symptoms and death by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE); the resulting excess acetylcholine accumulates and overstimulates the human or animal bo ...

Self-Detoxifying, Disposable Protective Garments
SBC: LYNNTECH INC. Topic: CBD06108There are many types of limited use or disposable protective garments and apparel designed to inhibit/retard the passage of hazardous liquids and biological contaminates through the garment to the wearer. The current state-of-the-art Chem-Bio protective suits contain carbon-beads layered into textile materials which adsorb toxic liquids and vapors. However, activated carbon imparts only partial p ...

Reagentless and Realtime Detection of Airborne Microorganisms
SBC: LYNNTECH INC. Topic: CBD06102The potential use of chemical and biological weapons for mass destruction is one of the most serious concerns facing the US defense forces. Currently available devices for collection and identification of biological agents require extensive sample preparation and well equipped laboratories. Other detection methods rely on fragile biomolecules like antibodies, nucleic acids, enzymes and/or other ...

FRET-Aptamer Assays & Handheld Reader for Nerve Agent Metabolites
SBC: Operational Techologies Corporation Topic: CBD06104Operational Technologies Corporation (OpTech) proposes to couple the speed and ultrasensitivity of one-step (“bind and detect”) fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) detection with the high affinity and selectivity of DNA aptamers (surrogate antibodies) to detect the phosphonic acid derivative metabolites of organophosphorous nerve agents in urine, blood, and other body fluids. In Pha ...
