The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is seeking post-intercept debris data from missile impacts in an exoatmospheric environment for the development and verification of analytic debris models being developed by the MDA. Control Vision, Inc. proposes a modular, stabilized, tracking and pointing system enabling close proximity, high temporal resolution data of intercepts and post-intercept debris fields ...

Principal Investigator Overstreet Derek J Abstract Sonoran Biosciences Inc SBIR PAR Direct Phase II Prosthetic joint infections PJIs are especially costly requiring two surgeries at a cost of approximately $ per case to treat more than hip and knee replacement infections each year The near term outlook in this area is bleak with the number of infections growing ov ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant A research plan is proposed to produce potent human polyclonal antibodies against influenza viruses by immunizing genetically modified bovines with seasonal influenza vaccine in combination with a strong adjuvant and immune stimulator Previous studies have demonstrated that genetically engineered bovines are capable of producing large amounts of human polyclo ...

Propeller-driven aircraft produce vibrations that have deleterious and potentially harmful effects on crew members exposed to their operational environment for extended mission durations. The E-2C/D aircraft has a high vibration environment and a seat that passes these environments on unmitigated to the crew members maximizing discomfort, especially during the long duration missions that are stand ...

NP Photonics proposes to develop a supercontinuum (SC) fiber laser with the capability to propagate a multi-spectral laser beam with > 10 Watts of time-averaged power. This program focuses on all fiber optic approach with particular emphasis on covering the mid-IR portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Mid-infrared lasers are key enabling technology for various applications such as remote chemic ...

The problem: Currently in the US, there is not an affordable way to fulfill the need of high quality grafted vegetable transplants for field growers and hydroponic greenhouse growers. The key issues that intensify the problem are: 1) the large number of seedlings needed in a single batch (US large farming operations), 2) the current high price of grafted plants and 3) the proximity of seedling sup ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant The human genome encodes protein kinases that catalyze the phosphorylation of client proteins Signal transduction mediated by protein impacts virtually all aspects of cellular physiology from the coordination of the cell cycle and cll division to apoptosis Not surprisingly the deregulation of kinases is implicated in many diseases including diabetes in ...

A new algorithm, the Daylight Object Restoration Algorithm (DORA), has been developed under a Phase I/II SBIR program. DORA is built around a novel implementation of the multi-frame blind deconvolution (MFBD) image restoration concept which recovers a hi...

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) requires microelectronics for itself and other DoD agencies that can operate reliably in the harsh environment of space. This Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) proposal for DTRA extends the work

Gas conduction and radiation are the two important heat transfer mechanisms in highly porous reusable thermal protection systems used for planetary entry of space vehicles. The relative magnitude of the two varies depending on altitude, temperature and the planet. Usually radiation is more significant at lower pressures and at higher temperatures. Gas conduction is more dominant at higher press ...
