Infections caused by drug resistant bacteria create a $30b problem for the healthcare industry. Techulon has developed a Rapidly Adaptable NanoTherapeutic (RANT) approach to address this problem, which utilizes genomic targeting, on-demand synthesis, and nanotherapeutic delivery. Component feasibility studies conducted during Phase I demonstrated successful targeting and inhibition levels in meth ...

This SBIR Phase II project will develop an integrated system that will extract scene and geometric context from aerial videos and utilize it for robust target detection and false alarm mitigation. The key innovation in this effort is to place localized target detection in the context of the overall 3D scene, its constituents, and activities by modeling the interdependence of targets, scene element ...

Some of the US Army SOCOM greatest concerns are to maintain the helicopter pilot’s ability to see clearly and to provide helicopter windscreens with a greater degree of erosion/abrasion protection than what is being currently afforded. Recent developments on polymer coatings demonstrate the potential to meet and exceed all erosion/abrasion resistance and optical requirements by using plasma depo ...

IN-Comics is created by veteran software makers at Intific, Inc. as an innovative online graphic novel and sequential art authoring technology for therapeutic storytelling. The complete system offers a new integrated approach to art therapy using unique 3D digital storytelling tools to make Creators out of all service personnel, enabling visual products that run the gamut from traditional graphic ...

The team led by Luna Innovations proposes to continue the development of the superlens lithography that will achieve 25nm resolution at a 193nm wavelength for high resolution photolithography used in IC production in military and commercial applications. The unique design of the proposed superlens provides a means to overcome the problem of the absence of natural, high-quality metal and sufficient ...

This Phase II effort proposes to design and develop a field deployable hyperspectral image sensor that is capable of standoff detection, identification and quantification of plumes of chemical and biological agents in the modern battlespace, as well as being capable of disclosing hidden objects and enemy combatants through background subtraction techniques and algorithms. These hyperspectral sens ...

Wide-area networks are essential to productivity in commercial enterprises and military organizations. Reliability is difficult to achieve because wide-area networks, such as the Internet, are built from many autonomously configured component networks. Today there exists a large gap between the intended design of a network and the implementation of that design. This is because complex network poli ...

We create LiquidBriefing, a collaborative system that helps knowledge workers advance beyond using the trio of email, Microsoft Word, and PowerPoint for reporting and briefings. LiquidBriefing assists organizational knowledge management by capturing ideas at the time of origin, and supports a collaborative editing process to refine them. Reports and briefings are generated by LiquidBriefing and li ...

This project will bring to the point of transition new compression technology optimized for persistent surveillance from orbiting aircraft. As sensor outputs far outstrip available bandwidth, compression of the vast quantities of data collected by Wide Area Persistent Surveillance (WAPS) imaging systems becomes a necessity. In Phase 1, we used accurate registration to achieve good compression ra ...

Vaporcor LLC is developing a very high altitude (~90 kft) aircraft propulsion engine capable of meeting the stability, reliability, and environmental requirements suitable for use on a VHALE aircraft with 12-20 hour endurance that must be stored for months. Vaporcor’s VHALE engine implements a closed loop Rankine thermodynamic cycle using super-critical CO2 (S-CO2) as the working fluid. The Ra ...
