Next generation EO/IR sensors are needed for a variety of Military Systems Applications. These include UV, Visible, NIR, SWIR, MWIR and LWIR bands. Magnolia as part of the proposed Phase II STTR Program plans to design, model and develop Strained Layer Superlattice (SLS) based detector array for next generation multicolor IR imaging applications. The key components of the Program will include eva ...

Uncertainty on the modern battlefield makes mission planning and decision making extremely complex for field commanders. Mission planners can be aided by initial and ongoing situation assessment, future state estimation, assessment of the current plan"s probability of success, what-if analysis, and suggestions for decisions. At present, few automated tools exist to provide mission planners with th ...

Many blood simulants that are currently available for medical training to teach and practice hemorrhage-handling skills lack the ability approximate real blood in many aspects. In order to provide the best training, the blood simulant needs to mimic the

There is a substantial clinical need for regenerative therapies that effectively restore function to damaged tissues. For many tissues, autograft remains the clinical standard despite the limited volume available, associated patient morbidity and the resu

Regeneration of cartilage and cartilage repair are challenging due to limited cellularity of the tissue and the failure of allografts and tissue engineered cartilage constructs to integrate with host tissue. To overcome this limitation, many surgeons are

Sterling Point Research has assembled an interdisciplinary team composed of researchers from Children"s Hospital Boston and Boston University, an anesthesiologist, and a former U.S. Army medic to develop a Deployable Remotely Enabled Analgesia Management

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS), including laparoscopic surgery (LS), is beneficial in terms of the improved recovery of the patient, including shorter convalescence times, less postoperative pain, and less scarring. Training surgeons in these new techni

The field of surgical simulation is fairly crowded with many products and research groups developing physical and virtual simulators. Much of this previous work is in simulating minimally invasive surgeries. The considerable body of work generated in de

Web based training has matured into fully immersive, interactive scenarios that enhance the student"s retention of critical study information through experience based simulation. Creation and use of web based Serious Games can be quite complicated, depen

MedWorld will apply virtual world gaming techniques to enable military medical personnel to experience the impact of real world conditions in performance of their duties, whether they are on the battlefield or in a stateside hospital. MedWorld is struc
