This Phase II project addresses the development of technology that would provide field-based quantitative detection of a wide range of environmental contaminants through the use of molecularly imprinted polymers and fluorescence detection. The proposed method would complement immunological methods of analysis that have been adapted to contaminants such as herbicides and pesticides. The well-docume ...

Measures of the usability of systems have traditionally focused on the physical fit between man and machine. We propose to develop model-based measures of cognitive fit, or cognitive fightability. The proposed measures are a function of the congruencebetween three factors: the mission, the cognitive abilities and capacities of warfighters, and the information presentation and control features the ...

The proposed SBIR Phase II effort to develop a Personal Health and Fitness Wizard (PHFW) will, within the first year, year a fully functional Internet-based site the provides individual users with easily accessible, tailored guidance concerning theirpersonal health and fitness. The PHFW will to beyond simply providing health and fitness advice: it will function as a

A strategic need exists for harsh-environment, foul-resistant engine exhaust emission sensors. No presently available devices combine the requisite sensitivity and selectivity to hydrocarbons, CO, CO2, and NOx with thermal and chemical robustness, low power drain, rapid response, and reasonable cost. Boston MicroSystems, Inc., proposes to develop a hand-held portable engine emissions analyzer that ...

To support the Joint Task Force (JTF) commander and staff in meeting the decision-aiding and visualization requirements of Stability and Support Operations (SASO), we propose to develop a cognitively-based software environment to address currentshortcomings of existing military command and control (C2) systems. Functional requirements were derived from an in-depth Cognitive Task Analysis (CTA) of ...

There is an immediate need for rapid, portable analytical instruments to ensure the safety of natural and manmade water supplies, including source, recreational, treated, and distributed waters. Echo Technologies, Inc., proposes a Phase I project to develop and demonstrate a new type of optical biosensor that is simple, rapid, specific, and sensitive. The biosensors are based on the use of fluores ...

Higher energy density and longer life fuel cells are desired for long life electric power production. It is desired to improve the operating lifetime of fuel cells to continuously power sub-watt sensors for a variety of applications including missilecontainer health monitors. Electrochemical Design Technologies proposes a Phase I program to demonstrate a novel fuel cell that has a long operating l ...
