When testing weapon systems, full motion video of the test article is among the data collected. However, in practice, such video is generally degraded due to environmental conditions between the imaging system and the subject. Digital processing techniques have been developed that have demonstrated the ability to reconstruct high-resolution imagery from environmentally degraded videos but to date ...

The proposed effort aims to increase the TRL of the hemostatic agent through completion of relevant animal and toxicological research and development. These advancements will be verified through process improvements to meet good manufacturing practices.

Fracture toughness is the material parameter that, along with applied loading and flaw geometry, dictates the critical crack size, and therefore controls the flaw size that must be detected during inspections. A major challenge facing pipeline operators is that many pipelines are old, making their structural integrity uncertain, and that material pedigree of the pipeline steel is unknown. Therefor ...

This project will achieve a field-deployable system to estimate circadian phase. Our approach involves the use of minimally-invasive sensors suitable for use in operational environments to continuously monitor physiological parameters associated with slee

This is a proposal to investigate further the results of the phase I project. In phase one our method of purifying chromium to reduce O, N, C, S, H was successful with one of the two methods. In this phase we will continue improving successful process and investigate a new method. In phase one we were able to reduce the oxygen from 4,200 ppm to 1,100 ppm. And we have not explored at least 2 variab ...

  DeVal Lifecycle Support has utilized its success in the existing SBIR program to replicate NSN 4730-00-066-7779 Tee Tube to Boss. Using the companies unique and revolutionary R.O.P.E. (Rapid Obsolescence Planning and Execution) process to create an entire technical drawing package and manufacturing drawing package, Deval has produced a solution to the problem that has become increasingly more ...

(Dynovas) and working with San Diego Composites dba Applied Composites AC-SD to continue the development of a Field Optimized Additive Manufacturing (FOAM) pod capability. ExOne provides expertise in binder jet 3D printing and design, build, and commercially produce additive manufacturing equipment for polymers, metals, and ceramics. The ExOn ...

American Energy Technologies Co. will partner with Eagle Picher Technologies in order to develop a lean and efficient method for synthesis of Lithium battery grade carbon monofluoride (CFx). The focus of the development / prototyping work will be on continuous processing, application of domestic raw materials and use of modern material de-aggregation techniques for particles of the end-product. Th ...

Department of Defense personnel must wear respiratory protection continuously when deployed in regions with the danger of chemical or biological attack. Manufacturing respirators/masks using conventional molding methods limits the features that can be designed into the protection. Additive manufacturing provides an ideal approach for manufacturing respirators. Additive Manufacturing enables the ab ...

The proposed Phase II program for the Maritime Mine Acoustic Countermeasure (MMAC) will be led by QorTek Inc. a small business located in Williamsport PA. The team is proposing the Phase II prototype build and in-water performance demonstration of a new generation of cost effective autonomous expendable acoustic mine influencing payload assets which have been ideally designed for attachment to exi ...
