Optimal delivery of antibiotics and management of sepsis remains a significant challenge in the critical care setting. Availability of an antibiotic decision support system (DSS) would represent an invaluable asset for healthcare providers, facilitate timely and efficient antibiotic therapies, and lead to improvements in patient safety and outcomes. To address this need, Aptima Inc. and our partne ...

To achieve the goals of this program improving spectral coverage and output power of monolithic QCL sources as well as the development of a production and manufacturing plan - we propose to develop in collaboration with MIT Lincoln Laboratory a broadly tunable high power source that is based on Eos"proprietary QCL array technology. The current generation of Eos"commercially available fully packag ...

The purpose of this project is to develop a device that provides rapid intermittent compression to the residual limb of amputees that do not have good blood flow in their limbs. The device will be built into the prosthetic socket to provide the user with portable therapy throughout the day, which will free the user from being confined to a chair for up to six hours each day to receive the prescrib ...

Treatment of burn patients with extensive burns (i.e., total body surface area TBSA>20%) is very challenging. Early fluid resuscitation is critical for burn patients and studies show an association between delayed or inadequate fluid resuscitation following burn injury and morbidity and mortality. Acute burns are frequently encountered in combat casualty care as well as in civilian patients. Minim ...

Akita Innovations proposes to develop a rugged, highly effective antifog coating for military eyewear based on UV-curing of novel hydrophilic and lipophobic polymers. The lipophobic property of our coating will both help keep the eyewear clean and will prevent contamination of the surface by oils from degrading the antifog property of the coating. The coating will be designed to permit facile, in ...

Modern adversaries have become more proficient at cyber attacks against our militarys cyber networks. Although the Army has expended significant resources addressing threats in the cyber domain, current defense efforts are largely reactive. Augmenting our cyber defenses with tools that proactively analyze the intentions and behaviors of our adversaries and predict the most likely attack vectors on ...

In this topic, the U.S. Army seeks to develop a GPS anti-jam antenna system to mitigate interferences from hostile jammers as well as from co-site pseudolite and blue force electronic attack (BFEA) transmitters in order to protect a GPS receiver such that it can receive intended GPS signals effectively. Mayflower proposes a suite of innovative interference mitigation techniques to build a comple ...

As supply chains expand globally, there is a growing risk that computer systems may contain counterfeit hardware components. For subverting trust, a malicious hardware component could automatically identify and exfiltrate sensitive computation and data du

HYPRES, in collaboration with MIT Lincoln Laboratory and ISQC, proposes to transition superconducting parametric amplifier technology into a robust line of products. In Phase I, we will develop three varieties of superconducting low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) in compact cryogenic microwave packages. These are two types of standing wave devices, lumped-element Josephson parametric amplifier (LJPA) and ...

Precision Combustion, Inc. (PCI) proposes an innovative compact 20 kWe reformer design that will enable effective and efficient SOFC operation with up to 3000 ppmw sulfur JP-8 or diesel fuel, and meet and exceed the solicitation objectives. The resulting reformer system will be sulfur tolerant, have high energy density, and will offer a reduced weight burden and enable use of existing logistic fue ...
