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 Diffuse large B cell lymphoma DLBCL represents one of the most common variants of Non Hodgkinandapos s lymphoma NHL and oncogenic herpesviruses EBV and KSHV are the etiologic agents for the majority of these tumors in patients over or those infected with the human immunodeficiency virus HIV Despite modest improvements in outcomes for patients rece ...

ABSTRACT: The ability to obtain time-resolved, direct wall shear stress measurement is an important asset to aerodynamic research, flow control and to enhance the fundamental understanding of the turbulent boundary layer. Due to a lack of reliable and affordable skin friction sensors, existing indirect methods are used to measure wall shear stress but their usefulness is limited since prior kno ...

Historically, aircraft engines have featured relatively simple axisymmetric exhaust shapes with several moving parts; however, future engine exhaust systems are expected feature compact, sinuous ducts with complex non-axisymmetric shapes, fixed exit areas, thrust vectoring etc., constructed with a minimum number of moving parts. Their exhaust plumes are currently not well understood; however, LES ...

QuNav and Illinois Institute of Technology propose the development of local-radio carrier phase methodology mechanization. Phase I will develop carrier phase tracking approach; and, precise positioning mechanization. Carrier phase of CDMA signals (such as pseudolites) will be tracked by utilizing the GPS receiver design to minimize changes for legacy receivers. For TDMA radios (such as Link 16), o ...

The goal of this project is to develop processing capabilities for high-strength and ultra-conductive wires to improve power-to-weight ratios and energy efficiency of electrical military systems. The first objective of this Phase I project is to build up quantitative microstructure-property models to guide the development of electrical and thermal conductive carbon nanotubes (CNTs) modified coppe ...

We propose to develop a multi-functional coating technology using a three-component nanocomposites to achieve excellent syperhydrophobicity, anti-icing, enhanced track-resistance, and high dielectric breakdown strenght. The coating will be compatible with current Navy existing VLF device materials and be ease of applications in outdoor field, and be long lasting requiring infrequent applications.

As stated in the topic, The decision environment in which the Anti-Submarine Warfare Commander must operate during threat prosecution is characterized by severe time pressure, complex, multi-component decision tasks, and rapidly evolving andchanging information and situational state. There is therefore an increasing need to extend ASW decision support capabilities with the ability to help operator ...

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 ...

3D printed phased array antennas (PAA) would be more rugged, lighter and take a variety of shapes and including unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) wings. Printing antennas, passives and interconnects has been demonstrated in 3D printing. Using printed electronic approaches for printing Field Effect Transistors (FET) has been demonstrated and including printing switches in the GHz regime. The challenge ...
