New technologies like digital simulators (avatar) and augmented reality (AR) show promise in enhancing training for combat medics and advancing the treatment of time critical, traumatic injuries. Initial development efforts have focused on marrying synthetic content with a real-world view within the augmented reality environment. Great strides have been made to make this new viewing environment ub ...

By 2030 the entire lithium-ion battery chain, from mining through recycling, is expected to reach a value of $400 billion and a market size of 4.7 TWh. LiB are used in personal electronic devices, e-bikes, tools, green-power storage and electric vehicles. Individual cells are commonly collected into packs or modules to provide the power required for automotive operation. The operational capability ...

The State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) have limited right-of-way (ROW) to construct stormwater treatment controls. Hence innovative self-contained portable stormwater treatment systems are needed to reduce impacts on streams, and other waters; recreation facilities, and habitat by addressing emerging stormwater pollutants, particularly the suspended and dissolved pollutants from highway co ...

The goal of this project is to produce a prototype wireless solution for monitoring real-time core temperatures in humans during hot and cold exposure, to include water immersion, for up to 24 hours in resting and exercising individuals,providing early warning of heat stress, heat stroke and hypothermia. Such a device that can save military medical costs and increase duty time does not currently ...

Tourniquets are an important medical tool that are used to apply pressure to a wounded limb or extremity to restrict and prevent blood loss. Tourniquets can be used during some surgical procedures and in emergencies to stop severe traumatic bleeding. As the U.S. Military faces peer and near-peer adversaries, the time-to-evacuation for wounded warfighters is expected to increase. Likewise, the diff ...

The proposed device is a headgate that discharges water at a constant flow despite a variable headwater depth. This is possible due to a carefully designed adaptable float and track system. Through the funding of this grant the research could help greatly lower costs increase efficiency and decrease the size of water treatment systems irrigation systems and detention ponds. The innovation is alrea ...

Ultramafic rocks host two resources that are key to avoiding catastrophic climate warming: (1) elements essential for mineral carbonation with gigatonne-scale carbon dioxide removal and sequestration (CDRS) potential, and (2) first-row transition elements including nickel and cobalt that are critical for the renewable energy transition. These elements are chemically bound within solid mineral phas ...
