Interfaces on existing military chemical/biological protection garments are not designed to fully eliminate macroscopic and microscopic air gaps at folds, fabric surfaces, or hook-and-loop closures, and thus do not provide a hermetic barrier against exposure. Creare proposes to develop a hermetic garment closure system that seals macroscopic and microscopic gaps at interfaces and closures and pro ...

An innovative phase-cancelled radio frequency/microwave graphene-based impedance chemical gas sensor has been demonstrated in Phase I with the record high sub-ppb sensitivity of NH3 and DMMP in air. Our sensor shows excellent selectivity for sensing NH3 and DMMP in a complex environment, and is capable of in-situ multiplexed sensing. In Phase II, the sensor will be fully integrated on a 3 glass wa ...

Chemical, biological, or toxin attacks in military and civilian settings are a serious and growing concern. Standard first aid for exposure to some chemical warfare agents and toxins includes the immediate administration of relevant antidotes using an autoinjector. When an attack occurs, pre-filled autoinjectors must be immediately available and thus highly portable, and they must be suitable fo ...

Despite over 100 years of research, decompression sickness (DCS) remains the mission-limiting factor in the design and execution of deep combat dives. Divers may spend over an hour decompressing after spending as little as ten minutes at the target depth. While decompressing, divers are limited in vertical mobility, making then susceptible to detection and threatening their survivability. Recen ...

Aerospace manufacturers are using composite structures in aircraft and they are the future of aviation. Composites reduce weight and maintenance costs. Today, many composite structures are joined together with fasteners. However to meet future design r

THIS PROJECT IS INTENDED TO IDENTIFY MEANS OF EVALUATING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS BY CONTRASTING THEIR ACTUAL LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE TO THE LEVEL THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN EXPECTED FOR THEM. IN SOME WAYS, THE CONCEPT IS RELATED TO THE INTELLIGENCE QUOTIENT, WHICH IS A RATIO OF MENTAL AGE TO CHRONOLOGICAL AGE, A COMPARISON OF THE PERFORMANCE NORMS TO THE INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE LEVEL. FOLLOWING THIS ...
