There is a well defined, yet unfulfilled need for a convenient (non-contact, light weight) and rapid imaging tool for multi-directional, thru-wall stresses (both applied and residual) from the outside of a pipeline. Quantitative stress imaging is needed at mechanical damage and corrosion sites, as well as at other critical locations (dents, bends, etc.). JENTEK is uniquely positioned to deliver ...

In Phase I, we developed a new system for pedestrian detection, tracking and counting. In this system, both IR LED stereo camera and laser scanner were selected for use. We have demonstrated that our pedestrian counting system can count multiple pedestrians walking in a large group, maintain individual tracks even when some pedestrians walk in unpredictable patterns or leave the crosswalk prematur ...

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 ...

An innovative, super-miniature, fast-switching array-based photonic time delay device is being developed for the active electronically scanned-array (AESA) MDA and Navy radars. The design is based on the fast electro-optic effect, the super miniature fiber-lens collimation array, and the existing WDM photonic true time delay technologies. In Phase I Agiltron has successfully demonstrated the core ...

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

An automated, closed loop system for administration of analgesic and anesthetic medication to patients is proposed. Even with vigilant, trained personnel, infusion rates of propofol and other analgesic/anesthetic drugs can depart from their optimum rates,

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
