Complex skin defects, including burns and trauma, represent a major medical problem affecting both military and civilian populations. In recent military engagements, burns account for approximately 5% of combat casualties. Furthermore, approximately 1.25 million Americans each year require medical attention for complex skin defects, with 50,000 people hospitalized for burns and 13,000 requiring sk ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this project is to significantly reduce the development effort for continuous sensing applications and to enable deploying them in a wide range of battery-constrained sensing devices, including personal mobile devices like smartphones, tablets, and smart watches; wearable health monitoring devices for tracking EKG/EEG and other vital signals; and remote s ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is that it will generate new live cell assays for the discovery of new drugs. Roughly half of the drugs sold today target G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) in the body, so finding better drugs that target these receptors, with fewer side effects, is an important societal goal. Many of the G ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to significantly improve the care of cancer patients by providing an integrated platform for clinical data and image analytics to their care providers for better clinical decision making. Tight integration of clinical data with radiology images will enable evidence-based approaches to be u ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will be the development of a new natural means of treating diseases of fruit orchards and crops as an alternative to antibiotic use. Over 90% of the world's antibiotic use in agriculture is primarily to control fire blight, a disease that kills fruit trees. Fire blight has emerged as the most ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this project is to develop a novel platform technology: a high-torque electrostatic motor (EM). This readily scalable platform machine technology can provide any desired torque or power rating necessary along with increased energy accessibility and reduced energy/operating costs compared to traditional steel-copper-magnet based motors. Instead of using pe ...

ABSTRACT:Under this Phase II SBIR contract, Bridger Photonics and Montana State University-Spectrum Lab will design, build and deliver both a statistical scintillation tomographic system and a coherent tomographic wavefront sensor (CTWS). Both proposed systems meet the long term Air Force needs with respect to the full characterization of atmospheric turbulence along horizontal or slant paths. The ...

WHILE THE CURRICULUM AND THE STRATEGIES WHICH IT DETAILS HAVE ME ...

ALMOST ALL MUNICIPAL SEWAGE COLLECTION AND TREATMENT FACILITIES HAVE WET-WEATHER FLOWS. MANAGING THE WET-WEATHER FLOWS TO MINIMIZE POLLUTION RESULTING FROM COMBINED SEWER OVERFLOWS AND BY-PASSES NEEDS OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES FOR VARIOUS FLOW CONDITIONS. TO DO THIS REQUIRES AN OPERATIONS MODEL OF THE SYSTEM. THE PROJECT PROPSES TO DEVELOP A SOFTWARE PACKAGE WHICH WILL BE USED TO MAKE OPERATIONS DECI ...
