Advances in spatial metabolomic analysis of tissue biopsies using MALDI-MSI now enable the identification of numerous biochemical pathways as signatures of specific histopathology features. However, the lack of reproducibility across experimental studies without a common internal standard limits the application of MALDIMSI for drug development. SygnaMap is developing MSI-DeepPath as an innovative ...

For this project, the team at Framergy, Inc. in partnership with Texas A&M University (TAMU), will analyze the feasibility of post-synthetic incorporation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) into polymer composites. This manufacturing method has the distinct advantage of eliminating the synthesis optimization that is often needed in in-situ growth methodologies, while also allowing for a higher de ...

As USSOCOM continues to assess the future operating environment, implementing innovative solutions that promote situational awareness (SA) is of increasing importance. While situational awareness can be tied to a variety of data-types impacting a mission, for the purposes of this effort, situational awareness tied to geospatial intelligence will be the focus. When a warfighter enters an operating ...

Micro-Raman technology, that is embedded on a smartphone Platform. Micro-Raman will be a fraction the size of existing systems and fit into the Digital SOCOM initiative. The Smart device allows for the integration of other platforms such as colorimetric and biometric integration into reporting capabilities.

A cyber-physical trust anchor is an essential component of a secure additive manufacturing supply chain. Customer discussions show a strong need for low-cost trust anchors as well as high-security, more costly trust anchors. The concept underlying our trust anchor enables implementations that can be described as good, better, best. The two physical-digital components are first embedded digital cod ...

Bottom line up front: The next-generation operator requires an effective, immersive training platform supporting haptic force feedback and natural real-time representations of operational environments. Problem: Current operator training equipment lacks realism and accuracy for effective immersion of field scenarios. Training under these circumstances leaves many variables excluded from the operato ...

Kestrel Technology Group, LLC. (KTG) and its partners interpret SOCOM211-002 feasibility study requirement as a study on how to adapt and expand data fusion and knowledge management technology to create an intuitive and operationally capable system that promotes search querying across multivariate data sources and how machine learning (ML) can enhance this process. B01/B02 is a data acquisition ex ...

Radio Frequency (RF) Fingerprinting is an important capability for the warfighter to identify threats and protect against malicious attacks on the RF spectrum. Most RF Fingerprinting techniques work by identifying small variations in a transmitted signal that are introduced by hardware components (capacitors, inductors, etc) of the transmitter within the non-linear regions of operation. Neural Net ...

Satellite constellations equipped with advanced antenna systems can provide critical communication uplinks, navigation, and data exfiltration to terrestrial units/platforms on land, in air, and over sea. To achieve this compact and beyond line-of-sight systems with full-orbit directionality are of interest due to their ability to reduce the probability of unwanted signal intercept, increase covera ...

Mechanical metamaterials are a class of advanced materials that use repeated three-dimensional geometric patterns to endow common materials with new, enhanced, and superior material properties. The “meta” in “metamaterials” refers to the geometric pattern, while the “material” can be a metal, polymer, ceramic, etc. Our expertise focuses on the design and production of mechanical metama ...
