Blood loss due to uncontrolled hemorrhage is a major contribution to at least 90% of the combat death before reaching the field hospital. The ability to control heavy bleeding in the injured soldier is critical and will vastly improve the survival outcome in the theater. Furthermore, complications from uncontrolled bleeding in the microvasculature contribute significantly to increased morbidity. ...

Adlyfe Inc. has developed a highly sensitive fluorescence based test, called the Misfolded Protein Diagnostic (MPD) Assay, for the misfolded prion protein associated with infectivity. The femtomolar sensitivity of the test enables the presymptomatic detection in blood, which can be performed ante mortem in routine surveillance of live animals and in blood screening of the human blood supply. The ...

The main goal of this proposal is to develop stabilized freeze-dried Yucatan pig platelets that will retain the majority of platelet biological properties, but can be stored in the dry state for years. These platelets will be incorporated into a hemostatic dressing that will control bleeding in the Yucatan pig wound and bone healing model. This proposal is based on the extensive amount of work alr ...

The objective of this proposal is to design, test and demonstrate an in situ smart sensor for monitoring corrosivity of water in pipelines, and to communicate the data to a controller. We propose to adapt a prototype corrosion sensor on a wireless platform recently developed by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL). Known as the Embeddable Corrosion Rate Monitor (ECRM ...

The generation, characterization, and optimization of stable mammalian cell lines for large-scale antibody production comprise an intricate process that costs millions of dollars and requires nearly one year of development time. When standard methods are employed, the process of generating stable cell lines requires nearly 6 months; however, BioFactura's proven proprietary technologies can routi ...

A light-weight, compact, high sensitivity pulsed laser vibrometer is proposed using photo-EMF sensors for the non-contact detection and mapping of buried landmines. The fast response times (~ ns) and high sensitivity of the photo-EMF sensors allow continuous and real-time monitoring of vibration characteristics of the ground and canopy based on which the presence and species of landmines can be de ...

Based on the success of developing high sensitivity laser vibrometers for landmine detections during the Phase I program, technologies are proposed for this Phase II research program to improve further the sensitivity and accuracy in locating buried landmines as well as increases in the efficiency and speed in scanning over the minefields of interest. Approaches to achieve these goals include the ...

The goal of this effort is to grow n and p ZnO thin films by MOCVD on ZnO substrates. The primary objective of this phase I effort will be to grow p-n homojucntion and characterize the LED structure. Bandgap of ZnO will be engineered and heterojunction quantum wells will be grown. The grown device structures will be characterized for structure and quality by X-ray, PL and electron microscopy, The ...

The goal of this program is to develop ZnO based light emitters fabricated on high quality ZnO bulk substrates. The work will focus on enhance doping of the active layers, target alloy concentrations and prototype emitter fabrication.
