Purpose: Students with high functioning autism spectrum disorders (HF-ASD) face unique challenges with social skills and social relationships, often experiencing heightened levels of social isolation and exclusion from social opportunities. Without intervention, these social difficulties can interfere significantly with students’ ability to engage in and learn at school. However, few social inte ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant The overall goal of the present study is to resurface a diseased femoral condyle in an ovine model of unicompartmental osteoarthritis OA For patients suffering from unicompartmental OA of the knee unicondylar knee arthroplasty UKA is an available first line treatment option that provides many potential advantages over more common total knee replacement p ...

The Vadum electronically steered phased array system generates high RF (radio frequency) power at C-band without TWTAs (traveling wave tube amplifiers) and delivers that power to the target without requiring a lossy output combiner. This approach addresses existing TWTA challenges while simultaneously delivering new capabilities and increased standoff. Vadum focused attention on radial power combi ...

The overall goal of the proposed Phase II effort is to mature the concept of a blast-only CRAM warhead. The outcome of the Phase II will be a detailed warhead design, with accompanying lethality analysis to aid in implementing the warhead at a system level. Future development of a functional blast-only CRAM interceptor will be based upon the results of this Phase II effort.

Corvid Technologies is pleased to offer this SBIR Phase II proposal. In the proposed effort, we will extend the high-fidelity analysis processes demonstrated during Phase I to generate large-scale, production-quality databases for intercept debris fragments. Our approach utilizes an innovative combination of high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics for a broad range of flow conditions, high-pe ...

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): We propose to develop an operating-room-ready system for needle guidance in soft tissue, which fuses intra- operative ultrasound and pre-operative X-ray computed tomography (CT) data by combining two novel technologies:1) a radically different way of visualizing and interacting with the fused ultrasound and CT images, which we call Spotlight ; and 2) an innova ...

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 ...
