This effort creates foundations for highly automated simulation tools that predict warpage in printed circuit boards and assemblies (PCAs/PCBs) and chip packages. Our technique, MHS, provides core capabilities to automate warpage and other problems that were impractical until now. MHS extends a multi-representation approach the PI first conceived at Georgia Tech for CAD-CAE interoperability. This ...

As more and more information is stored digitally and transmitted over the Internet, data and communication security becomes an ever more severe problem facing the military, the government and the financial industry, both for the United States and for all other developed countries. The need for data encryption technology is most urgent. One of the key technologies involved is the generation of trul ...

"Computerized patient records (CPRs) have been the focus of substantial research and several commercial systems have been developed, but all have met resistance from the clinician users because key medical practitioner needs were inadequately addressed.The research team applied its prior human-factors research in this area to define a design framework for Practitioner-centric CPR Interfaces (PCI ...

"This research proposal seeks to continue the refinement, development and commercialization of a lightweight medical equipment and supplies module for the treatment of trauma patients. It consists of a platform with interlocking and interchangeablefunctional modules, or their equivalent, and attaches to, or detaches from, a standard military stretcher (litter) without tools and with attendant med ...

"Area 2: Technology for handling fuels and processing fuels to meet fuel cell requirements.Hydrogen, obtained by steam reforming various hydrocarbons and alcoholic fuels, is the primary fuel for low temperature fuel cells, both of the alkaline electrolyte as well as the proton exchange membrane (PEM) type. The gas mixture resulting from thereforming process (the reformate) is usually contaminated ...

"We propose to develop a comprehensive team SA measurement system to provide direct insight into soldier dynamic knowledge and decision skills at various levels of small squad command and in major types of military operations in urban terrain (MOUT). Thesystem will integrate a real-time measure of team SA for use during soldier immersion in VR simulators and a post-immersion measure for integrati ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I proposal will lead to the development of a sensor for detection of the early onset of ketosis by breath acetone measurements. The device will be hand-held, lightweight, and battery-powered. Near-infrareddiode laser measurement of a gas-solid reaction product of acetone will afford increased sensitivity. The sensor will provide a rapid measurement ...

"Verefi Technologies aims to establish the feasibility of a simulation trainer for endotracheal intubation. We will build on Verefi's existing computer simulators for wound suturing and lumbar puncture to create the Virtual Airway Trainer. In thetraumatized patient or soldier, endotracheal intubation is frequently the initial and most important life-saving procedure. In this setting, improper tube ...
