Award Data

This effort will develop the techniques and system design to display information about a wall structure. The goal is to design a system that will create a map that shows the location of material and/or voids within the walls along with the thickness and density of material. Performance trade-offs such as Size, Weight, And Power (SWAP), ease of use, image time, probability of detection and false al ...

The concept of operations for future warfighters includes real-time physiological health and status monitoring during mission operations. A compression e-garment that is capable of collection, storage and secure transmission of health data is a key unmet technology requirement for such monitoring. Propel, working iteratively with the DHA as a customer and the project team, proposes to deliver a d ...

This proposal aims to develop a wireless IMU (WIMU) activity recognition system for SpringActive`s powered ankle prosthesis, Odyssey. Robust activity detection via WIMU will revolutionize the state-of-the-art in powered, lower limb prosthetics by integrating (i) bio-inspired intelligence with (ii) biomimetic mechanics into a highly-maneuverable, smart, ankle-foot prosthesis system. Odyssey is the ...

SpringActive Inc. collaborating with Arizona State University will design and build a spring-based, passive prosthetic ankle that stores energy in the stance phase and returns it at push-off to propel the user forward. The team will leverage experience in designing tuned spring ankles. A plantarflexion spring will allow the ankle to plantarflex smoothly and align to the ground after heel strike. ...

Paragon and SunDanzer are teaming to develop and mature a multi-drawer freezer and cold storage system for environments having unreliable power availability that a) harnesses passive, unpowered thermal control technologies derived from Paragons aerospace experience and b) active thermal control with a refrigeration loop design developed by Sundanzer for solar powered operation. The passive/active ...

Special purpose proxy software on each end of a disconnected, intermittent, limited communications link maximizes the effective data rate of the link. The technology is bidirectional.
