Special Operations Forces (SOF) Operators must be able to shoot with prone accuracy when shooting off-hand and on the move. One way to accomplish this is to use inertial position sensors to control actuators which stabilize the weapon in ways in which the user is unable. Gyro stabilization has been in use for more than seventy years. Early applications included inertial navigation and lead co ...

Thermal injuries are common in all modern military conflicts and care given shortly after a severe burn is critical to its treatment and recovery. Triage for burn injuries is primarily separated into superficial burns which will heal naturally, and deep burns which require surgery. In far-forward environments non-expert combat medics must make burn triage decisions without the aid of lab equipment ...

Mimosa Acoustics will develop a portable binaural audiological device, based on our successful HearID system. HearID is a clinical system for otoacoustic emission and middle-ear power analysis testing; it is FDA and CE-marked. The new system will have the ability to conduct a variety of audiological tests especially for use in hearing-conservation programs, including: flexible otoacoustic emission ...

Current disaster/crisis management systems are extremely rudimentary, often consisting of little more than an unorganized, hand stapled booklet containing barely pertinent information. MusePlayTM software under development by HyperGalaxy, Inc. provides an intuitive, interactive, highly visual digital content delivery environment which can serve as the perfect platform for next generation disaster ...

SmartSpark Energy Systems proposes a battery-free power supply for unattended field use that combines advanced power electronics with state-of-the-art photovoltaics and high-density double-layer capacitors. The technical challenges are to develop and apply sophisticated power electronics for optimal energy management of a photovoltaic source, to store the energy efficiently in a reversible proces ...

This project develops a nutrition program, MenuChoice©, for community-based group homes for persons with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD). Adults with IDD experience poorer nutritional health and more nutrition-related secondary conditions than adults without disabilities. These conditions are preventable and modifiable through a safe, healthful diet, but multiple challenges precl ...
