Advanced thick composites are increasingly used in components for defense applications as well as commercial structures. The proposed project will lead to the development and commercialization of a validated predictive capability based on the Peridynamic (PD) theory to enhance the performance of thick composite components under complex loading conditions while exposed to harsh environments. The pr ...

A breakthrough combines new technology for solid polymer electrolyte and harvesting of kinetic energy (including heat and compression) to achieve unmet military needs for extremely rapid activation, performance across a broad range of temperatures, and an extremely long shelf life of up to 30 - 50 years. The goals include cyclic capabilities, life, safety and thermal performance that are otherwise ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Mobile multifunctional tool for monitoring and management of respiratory diseases Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease COPD and asthma affect millions of people worldwide Because there is no permanent cure for these diseases efficient management of the patients is needed New mobile health technologies such as personal devices that allow patients to monit ...

The objective of the work described in this proposal is to aid in the advancement of Mo-Si-B alloys for use in high temperature applications such as hot gas stream components in turbine engines. Such alloys are being characterized for their monotonic tensile properties in tension and compression as well for their creep resistance. Likewise, multiphase Mo-Si-B alloys have been studied in terms of m ...

ABSTRACT: Size, weight, and power (SWaP) limitations restrict the ability of airborne radar systems to detect low-observable moving targets such as dismounts and slow vehicles in strong clutter. Solid State Scientific Corporation has developed a unique ground moving target indication signal processing algorithm which is ideal for SWaP limited systems due to its computational efficiency and its sen ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Acute kidney injury AKI affects more than million people worldwide each year with reported mortalities from to in different patient populations However methods are lacking to support the early diagnosis of AKI that could lead to early intervention improved therapy better prognosis and lower medical costs For these reasons the development of e ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant The overall goal of this Phase II STTR proposal is to develop a PET CT imaging tool that will help accelerate the development of effective cancer therapies by improving the utility of oncology trials using PET imaging The growing cost time and complexity of clinical trials are driving patient and pharmaceutical company demand for more objective efficient a ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Nearly million Americans suffer traumatic brain injury TBI annually which constitutes a significant US medical health concern Although neuroimaging plays an important role in pathology localization and surgical planning TBI clinical care does not currently take full advantage of neuroimaging computational technology We propose to develop validate a ...

This Phase II SBIR proposal addresses the requirement to significantly improve the affordability and mission performance of SDACS propulsion components by embarking on a program to develop and optimize hafnium-based or hafnium hafnium nitride claddings for advanced structural insulator substrate materials of current interest to MDA programs.Phase II partner Materials Research & Design (MR&D), Wayn ...

This objective of this proposal is to demonstrate an automated towed-body Deployment-Retrieval (D-R) system on ACTUV. A control system monitors ship motions and the relative distance between the water surface and deck at the stern. Data from the sensors are processed and the optimal time to release or capture the payload is determine and executed. The D-R system is intended to prevent damage due t ...
