NP Photonics proposes to develop an all fiber-based ultrashort fiber laser system capable of generating high average power (multi-watt), single mode beam (M2 < 2) with high peak power per pulse and ultrashort pulse width (< 1 ps). This type of laser has significant advantages in terms of reliability (no moving parts or alignment), room temperature operation, size, weight, and power efficiency comp ...

ABSTRACT:The ETRS technology developed under the Phase II SBIR program exploits Lean Depot Management System (LDMS) historical data and CCA analysis to enhance the effrciency and effrcacy of the Versatile Depot Automatic Test System (VDATS). Prioritized diagnostic and repair actions achieve cost-avoidance through reduced mean time to repair (MTTR), reduced frequency of no fault found (NFF) cod ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Microscopic analysis of histologic brain sections yields important information about the organization and composition of the nervous system particularly in modern studies focusing on neuro genomics transcriptomics proteomics and connectomics However identification of distinct brain regions in a section under study with the currently available tools pr ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant ParaTechs Corporation develops innovative technologies for biomedical research while seeking to improve animal welfare for laboratory animals One of ParaTechsandapos major goals is to further the guiding principles of ethical animal use by andapos reducing replacing and refiningandapos the use of animals in research according to the guidelines of Russell a ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Glioblastoma multiforme GBM or andquot glioblastoma andquot is the most common and aggressive malignant primary brain tumor in humans An effective treatment that increases patient survival would represent a significant advance in the field and provide a desperately needed new therapy for this deadly disease EnduRx is focused on the development of new tar ...

This Phase II proposal is to develop a basic mobile gateway buoy acoustic communications USV relay into a more robust versatile multifunction all weather manned aircraft operable unmanned surface vehicle (USV). This program proposes to look at transition to use from Navy Aircraft with eventual NAVAIR Flight Certification and to focus on integrating key sensor systems to enhance open ocean operatio ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There are an estimated 26 million Americans with early chronic kidney disease (CKD). Early diagnosis and treatment are the only cost-effective means to reverse this growing problem. NIH recognizes the challenge to diagnose CKD early during its initiation and development phases in order to prevent further renal damage, reduce cardiovascular risk, and minimize th ...

There is a need to remotely detect, collect, and evaluate physiological signals of interest. Applications and concepts-of-operations (CONOPs) that would benefit from this capability include, but are not limited to: building-clearing, warfighter health monitoring or battle damage assessment and triage, situational awareness and assessment. Existing micro-impulse radar (MIR) and ultra-wideband (U\1\ ...

In Phase I, Kutta hypothesized multiple Latency Improvement Algorithms (LIAs) for the control of Electro-Optical and Infrared payloads onboard Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. Through an extensive human factors study within a representative simulated environment, Kuttas researchers proved their hypotheses and, in many cases, saw a 50% or more improvement in effectiveness among the participants. In Phase ...
