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 ...

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 ...

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

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant APDM is a young company focused on developing and commercializing professional systems using wearable inertial sensors for monitoring of human movement and movement disorders In Phase I we developed the novel Instrumented Stand and Walk test ISAW using APDMandapos s proprietary Opal movement monitors and Mobility Lab system We validated the ISAW by demon ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant The worldwide health problem created by malaria has been made more difficult by the spread of drug resistant parasites We have developed an orally available and inexpensive class of novel drugs that act against both chloroquine resistant and chloroquine sensitive malaria This project carries on preclinical development of a drug candidate that has been select ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Traumatic brain injury TBI is an acquired neurological disorder that can cause long lasting disability with limited treatment options Therefore preventative strategies must be emphasized in high risk activities to reduce the individual and societal burden of this pervasive injury Bicycle activities account for of all sports related TBI with ...

Under this effort, Sentient will develop mixed-EHL models to predict the performance of fluid film bearings for submarine applications. The models will consider critical design and operational parameters such as component geometry and surface finish, start up and shut down speeds/loads, and lubrication properties to predict torque, film thickness, and associated wear/efficiency. The result will be ...

The Navy and Marine Corps currently protect their Data-at-Rest (DAR) storage using Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) encryption technology. PKI protects data based on a single security key pair allowing only a single individual to decrypt the data; thus making it unsuitable for an environment where multiple individuals, satisfying an access policy, would be able to decrypt the data. Therefore, Archi ...

ABSTRACT: To address the need for covert, transparent optical taggants, which can upconvert and downconvert greater than 100 nm when stimulated by either 830 nm or 1064 nm laser light, a series of wide bandgap doped metal oxide nanoparticles will be developed and demonstrated. In Phase I, lanthanide-doped core-shell nanocrystals will be fabricated that are sufficiently small (e.g.
