Twinleaf LLC and Princeton University propose an STTR Phase II research and development program to study, build, and deliver a compact magnetometer featuring both vector and scalar operating modes. The vector magnetometer design focuses on unprecedented high vector sensor performance at the low 0.001 Hz frequency range, which is a key metric for Navy applications such as harbor monitoring.

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant B cell lymphoma is cancer of B lymphocytes and accounts for more than deaths in the U S each year While many patients respond to currently available therapy there is a high rate of cancer relapse and inability for the patients o tolerate chemotherapy Thus there is a significant need to make available to these patients newer therapies that are more e ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Mass spectrometry based proteomics is an emerging technology that has seen possible applications everywhere The technique can potentially use one drop of our blood to reveal onset and progress of diseases Current Randamp D using plasma serum proteome sample sets however is severely limited by the high complexity and dynamic range of protein concentrations ...

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 Metastasis or dissemination of primary tumor cells is the major cause of mortality in cancer patients Circulating tumor cells CTCs in the bloodstream are key players in the establishment of metastatic tumors Recent studies demonstrated that the number of CTCs present in patient blood directly correlate with cancer progression recurrence and survival rate ...

ABSTRACT: Global Engineering and Materials, Inc. (GEM) along with its team member Columbia University propose to develop a simulation tool for modeling mixing process of multi-particle composite systems and generating the ultimate microstructure. A combined theoretical, numerical, and experimental approach will be developed to create a high fidelity software product with a reduced order modeling ...

Directed plasma discharge using Knite Inc.s Kinetic Spark Ignition (KSI) hardware is proposed as a means to quell augmentor screech tone. Contrary to typical plasma ignitors, where plasma discharge is between anode and cathode, the KSI can discharge plasma into the flow in a reproducible manner. This controllability was used successfully on projects to improve performance of igniters and is also k ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant The measurement monitoring and use of bioelectric signals has evolved from the measurement of the electrical activity of the heart to encompass tissues ranging from cardiac skeletal and smooth muscles to brain and peripheral nerve tissues Together with this development has been the evolution of specialized equipment to capture and interpret these minute sig ...

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 ...

Modern aircraft make extensive use of fasteners made of steel, titanium, nickel and other alloys mated with aluminum and composite airframe materials. This coupling of dissimilar materials yields galvanic corrosion issues, which degrades mechanical integrity, is costly to inspect, and poses a safety and reliability risk. Traditional design approaches of corrosion rate predictions based on open cir ...
