As outsourced microelectronic manufacturing grows, the safety and security of U.S. consumers becomes increasingly threatened by potential counterfeit electronics. Current counterfeit inspection techniques are labor intensive, time consuming, and impractical to use by field agents located on remote sites, away from major facilities, and with limited expertise. The proposed work, Fast and Accurate D ...

Nanohmics, Inc. proposes to continue its successful development of highly sensitive antibody and/or DNA aptamer-quantum dot (Qdot)-based lateral flow (LF) test strips for on-site detection of at least 6 high consequence biotoxins including abrin, botulinum, ricin, saxitoxin, SEB and tetrodotoxin in environmental surface and soil swabs as well as food and water samples from sites of suspected bio-t ...

Pork accounts for more than one-third of meat consumed globally. The United States is the second largest producer of pork in the world. Keeping transboundary pathogens out of the country is in our national economic interests. To that end, Lynntech is developing a port- and pen-side diagnostic for field detection of transboundary pathogens. In this Phase II proposal we will develop an assay to dete ...

The highest-risk processing step in manufacturing C-CAT’s ACC material is the initial carbonization cycle, during which a C/Ph composite preform is carbonized to produce a low-density C/C part to be subsequently densified using a Polymer Infiltration and Pyrolysis (PIP) process. Though the carbonization steps of the PIP densification cycles also present a risk, it is during the initial cycle tha ...

The XTG (pronounced “ex-tag”) smart tag system, provides individual device authentication, traceability, and a higher standard of security with an information rich system able to record, view, and analyze each tagged product’s full provenance production history.  The XTG system serves as a holistic solution, capable of combining and incorporating device level traceability data across both m ...

There is a clear need for a reliable U.S. source of low-cost, ultra-high temperature ceramic (UHTC) insulation for use in hypersonic weapons that can protect internal heat sensitive components. ACM has developed high porosity, ultrahigh temperature ceramic (UHTC) foams with super low thermal conductivity using a scalable manufacturing process that produces near-net-shape, rigid/flexible insulation ...

SecureLogix is working on several projects with the DHS to secure NG9-1-1. The focus has been on threats such as Telephony Denial of Service (TDoS), robocalls, and SWATing. This architecture is based upon our PolicyGuru and Orchestra One solutions. These solutions include an architecture that can easily can be deployed in NG9-1-1 and expanded to provide access to the multimedia data, including vid ...

Computing systems contain increasing and changing software applications from a wide variety of vendors and sources. These applications contain numerous libraries for them to function, which are often not known to the end-user and considered a black box. When these libraries or their dependencies are discovered to have a vulnerability, the end-user relies exclusively on the software publisher to re ...

A proven, cost effective, highly automated, consistent, and predictable manufacturing process with rapid production rates will be implemented to manufacture high quality, self-sealing aviation fuel bladders. Our unique manufacturing process and our associated polymer technology will introduce a bladder that effectively alleviates fuel leakage potentials, through a material that is highly resistant ...
