Modern military and commercial gas turbine engines are subject to increased durability, performance, and safety issues when operating in austere environments where significant quantities of sand, volcanic ash and dust are present and can be ingested into the engines. These environments include desert regions, as well as, previously active/currently active volcanic areas. Military studies of turbin ...

From HIV to metastatic cancer, state-of-the-art therapeutics are static biological or pharmaceutical compounds—whose efficacy is inevitably lost once their evolving disease targets sufficiently mutate. We engineered the first adaptive therapeutics designed to co-adapt with adapting disease agents—to provide ‘resistance-proof’ disease control. Known as Therapeutic Interfering Particles (‘ ...

Development of air vehicles capable of routine operation and able to achieve hypersonic speeds is paced by the availability of a propulsion system. The vision is to combine improved off-the-shelf turbines for low-speed operation (M=0 to 2+) and dual-mode ramjet (DMSJ) engine technologies for high-speed operation (M=2+ to 5+), with both engines sharing a common air inlet and a common thrust produci ...

Having successfully validated our superhydrophobic, self-cleaning, wear and rust resistant laser based surface process in the Phase 1 project period, we at AlchLight propose to scale this technology to industry relevant levels by once again working with members of the University of Rochester's High Intensity Laser Lab. To achieve this goal, we will develop the world’s first superhydrophobic micr ...

ATC-NY is developing TELTAN (TELemedicine over a TActical Network), an Android and Windows software application for Virtual Interactive Presence and Augmented Reality (VIPAR). VIPAR shows great potential for making remote medical expertise available in th

In the U.S., >400,000 cartilage-related procedures are performed yearly. Cartilage lesions, left untreated, can progress to joint degeneration and osteoarthritis (OA). OA affects 20% of Americans with resulting costs surpassing the $130 billion per year. Among active military service members, OA is a leading cause of disability. Durable treatments that are suitable for point-of-care application ar ...

BH Technology proposes a Form, Fit, and Function end-to-end upgrade replacement to the current DESI system. Our system uses novel technology and updated enhancements that eliminate current system obsolescence, end of life, and performance issues while reducing total cost of ownership of the system over its expected lifetime. The proposed technology, components, and designs used in our proposed DES ...

Superconductor analog-to-digital converters (ADC) offer discriminating advantages in both bandwidth and fidelity due to very high sampling rates and quantum-accurate digitization based on counting of magnetic flux quanta. Multiple digital-RF receiver systems incorporating superconductor ADCs have been in operation for over four years in field-ready configurations at Government laboratories. We pro ...

Ecovative Design uses grown mycelium structures to bind agricultural and wood byproducts into inherently nontoxic_x000D_ products containing no added urea formaldehyde or flame-retardant chemicals. This research program focuses_x000D_ on maturing mycelium technology for use in the production of large scale board products, from low density (LD) particle board to acoustic panels and thermal insulati ...
