In this proposal, Kutta capitalizes on existing DOD investments and its own 2D and 3D visualization tools, and leverages the world-renowned computer graphics department at Arizona State University (ASU). This prior work experience and knowledge allows the team to build a resource and asset tracking tool for incident commanders with powerful 2D and 3D visualization capabilities. Kutta and its prest ...

In Phase I, the Peerless team developed an approach for an innovative wizard driven, turn-key, system that can be used by inexperienced operators to quickly design new sensor networks and evaluate existing sensor networks for the protection against and detection of CB agents within public structures. For Phase II, Peerless will conduct three development spirals to build the prototype system, valid ...

In an Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) situation, the ability for the rescuers to maintain an accurate and comprehensive situational awareness is critical to allow them to maximize their effectiveness in a chaotic and dangerous environment. Timeliness is paramount to saving lives, and miscommunications lead to potentially unnecessary deaths. 21st Century Systems, Incorporated is pleased to propose c ...

AccessData is proposing enhancements to its Distributed Network Attack (DNA)product to increase the functionality which will increase the number of workstations that can participate in the system; from approximately 1,000 to potentially 1,000,000 workstations. This will be accomplished by coupling its world class password attack technology with a proven open source desktop grid computing infrastru ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This program will demonstrate the potential for commercial success of a novel approach for tracking and displaying the position and orientation of instruments in image-guided cancer interventions. Prototype systems will be demonstrated in selected pancreatic procedures in human subjects. New clinical applications will be examined and commercialization will beg ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project proposes to build and test a 20 L capacity Remediator for medical wastes. Infectious Medical Wastes (IMW), mainly from hospitals, represents a major component of hazardous wastes generated in the U.S.. In f act, more than 4.5 million tons are generated per year. Hospital waste remediation was a 1.5 billion industry in 2003. Incineration remains th ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): BioInVision, Inc. and Case Western Reserve University researchers will develop a cryo-imaging system for 3D imaging of mice. It will serve very many applications in biological research and the biotechnology industry, in cluding mouse anatomical phenotyping, drug delivery, imaging agents, metastastic cancer, pathogen/immune system response, and stem cells/regene ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A coupling mechanism with the strength to fix a forcefully contracting muscle to a totally inert prosthesis, or to bone, would meet a serious and common need in clinical orthopaedics. We have explored a new approach t o such a coupling. The hypothesis was that a coupling prosthesis with a low-mass, high-surface configuration designed to transfer force by shea ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective is to design, build, and clinically assess a Wireless Movement Disorder Monitor (WMDM) specifically tailored to Parkinson's disease (PD). Major PD symptoms that affect quality of life include tremor, bra

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose applying innovative measurement technology to develop and disseminate a comprehensive function and disability assessment instrument for use in gerontological research and practice. This technology offers an e ffective method to resolve the classic conflict between practicality and psychometric adequacy faced by traditional standardized outcome measur ...
