The goal of this project is to develop a treatment booth with technology that allows opioid treatment programs to remotely dispense, either methadone or buprenorphine, under medical observation through telemedicine to a patient in a treatment booth. We believe that robotic automation is the ideal application to perform the same mechanical functions of the nurse at the dosing window. Specifically, ...

This Phase II project aims to prototype a novel technology that can advance the state-of-the-art in high performance space computing.nbsp; The base computer technology, called ldquo;RadPCrdquo;, brings together a suite of fault recovery mechanisms that enable Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) to operate reliably in the presence of space radiation that causes si ...

Select microbes contain an enzyme that promotes the hydrolysis of urea (ureolysis). This triggers an increase in pH and carbonate concentrations that, in turn, can cause dissolved minerals to precipitate and form solids similar to limestone. Recent resear

Resodyn has developed the novel Resonant Acoustic Continuous Crystallizer (RACC) concept which is highly suited to the recrystallization of energetic nitramines. This technology employs the ResonantAcoustic® Mixing (RAM) technology, which uses oscillatory

Maintaining healthy populations of salmon and trout (salmonids) has significant biological, cultural, and economic benefits. Significant data gaps exist for sources of mortality in juvenile and adult salmonids in small streams. These gaps can create discrepancies between main stem escapement counts and estimates of population health. Field Data Services, LLC is developing novel camera trap technol ...

The pHyter is a handheld device that accurately measures pH using colorimetry, communicating with a cellphone via Bluetooth Low Energy. The app records location, time, temperature, pH and meta-data. In Phase I, we redesigned the instrument using an ‘internet of things’ development platform, modified the app to operate on both Android and iOS phones, and showed, through a network of partners, t ...

The purpose of this effort is to develop and demonstrate a compact and high-performance hyperspectral imager designed specifically for remote sensing of aquatic systems/ecosystems.nbsp; The proposed design utilizes anamorphic optics, a unique segmented dual blaze grating, and innovative filter placement to maximize the instrumentrsquo;s sensitivity and dynamic range.nbsp; These innovations enable ...

The overall goal of this NASA effort is to develop and deliver efficient, single-pass quantum optical waveguide sources generating high purity polarization entangled photon pairs for use in high-rate long-distance links. The key innovation in this effort is the use of efficient, low-loss spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC) waveguides in combination with apodized gratings to tailor the op ...

The overall goal of this NASA STTR mult-phase effort is to develop a compact fully integrated tunable narrowband bi-photon source operating in the visible/IR spectral region for calibration and characterization of high-performance transition-edge sensors (TES) arrays under development at NASA Goddard as well as other research facilities throughout U.S.nbsp; The key innovation in this effort is com ...

Quantum optical networks will require all optical signal processing that is enabled by lithium niobate-based components. While many of these components are commercially available, they are not optimized for the ultra-low optical losses required for quantum applications. This program will develop refined processing techniques to fabricate ultra-low loss lithium niobate- based components, initially ...
