DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Corneal clouding caused by failure of the corneal endothelial deturgesence mechanism affects over million people in the US and well over million people worldwide It is the most common corneal disease and is historically a common cause of blindness Surgical treatment by corneal grafting has been successful when available but is limited by the availabili ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant For this Phase II STTR proposal the investigators plan to develop and commercialize the radiofrequency RF coil technology to make T body MRI possible and to translate this new technology to vastly improve T clinical MRI as well In the Phase I project leading to this proposal all specific aims were accomplished to demonstrate the feasibility of safely an ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Perioperative hemorrhage remains the major complication of transurethral and open prostatic surgical procedures Significant blood loss from these procedures causes delayed healing and longer hospitalization which significantly increases the cost of patient care Moreover prolonged urethral catheterization due to significant post operative hematuria is one of ...

ABSTRACT: Matrix and CSU are poised to develop algorithms to suppress radar WTC while preserving signals from targets of interest such as aircraft and weather. Our processing approach will be capable of utilizing radar data from either stationary- or scanning-mode ground-based systems. We will work closely with our transition partner to develop a Phase II transition plan to integrate our approac ...

Carrier phase measurements in GPS are well known to enable precision performance. However, GPS is easily degraded or jammed. Carrier phase measurements in a local radio system, on the other hand, is much easier due to its much stronger signal level compared with GPS. In this proposal GIRD Systems will investigate feasibility of precise positioning techniques based on carrier phase measurements fr ...

ABSTRACT: A smaller transmitter package operating in C-band with greater power efficiency will pave the way for newer, compact weapons to utilize the expanded frequency range at C band. BENEFIT: Reduced payload weight, giving off less heat, with longer battery life.

To address the Navy"s need for a common, scalable, platform for multi-modal 1pA level current sensing for Electrocardiogram (ECG), Electroencephalogram (EEG), and Electrodermal Response (EDR) to be fielded as a miniature wearable device with non-contact electrodes, Sentient and the State University of New York (SUNY) propose to develop the Bioelectronic Fusion Sensor System (BioFuSenS) that will a ...

A new generation of additive manufacturing (AM) techniques is expanding the possibilities of sensor and antenna design, with important implications for the performance and cost of finished devices. Optomec, Inc., with its proprietary Aerosol Jet technology, is a leader in the conformal printing of conductors and dielectrics on unusual geometries while the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) has ...

Advanced effective Micro-glider development will be conceived under this Phase I effort.

Switches must perform under rather dramatic conditions compared to other components and switching media are of utmost importance.
