This project develops a prototype of a web-based self-management application for individuals with cognitive disabilities and those who support them. The application uses a database of an individual’s life and needs to provide relevant, actionable, and accessible data to the consumer, family members, and/or support staff. Features include cognitively accessible interface, push notifications for c ...

This project develops a system to provide auxiliary sensory feedback in the lower limbs of amputees and enhance sensory function for individuals with disabilities through functional capacity and thereby improve their mobility and quality of life. The Farus sensory feedback system detects force loads at the base of the foot or prosthesis and translates this force, via pneumatic control system, to p ...

The primary objective for the proposed effort is to develop innovative fast-running models (FRMs) that are based on data generated by High-Fidelity Physics-Based (HFPB) models; these FRMs are to predict the damage, responses, and subsequent residual strength of walls and slabs composed of UHPC or HPC materials of the kind that would be used in hardened bunkers. Of particular interest is to create ...

Empirical Education Inc proposes to extend our analytical tool, MeasureResults¿, to include features that support school level experiments. MeasureResults allows practitioners to question the effectiveness of instructional and professional development products and to obtain answers using research and statistical techniques common in rigorous educational research such as described in Shadish, Cook ...

During Phase I, IFOS demonstrated the feasibility of using embedded optical Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor networks to measure resistance to penetration (for subsequent weapons) in concrete damaged by a weapon projectile. FBG sensors are well suited for monitoring dynamic strain in concrete structures due to their small size, low cost, ability to be embedded internally or surface mounted; and th ...

Based on previous research, this project (1) refines the TV Assisted Prompting (TAP)system hardware and software while expanding its utility to new rehabilitation domains; and (2)continues to employ an incremental design process, partnering with patients, care providers, andtherapists to design and evaluate a user-friendly system. The TV Assisted Prompting (TAP) systemoffers a simple alternative f ...
