Public transit is particularly vulnerable to disruption and shocks from pandemics due to the collective nature of its mobility. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought new needs to keep all facilities clean for the safety of people at all times. To prevent the spread of coronavirus through transit facilities, keeping surfaces disinfected is incredibly important. The aim of this project is to contribute ...

The current Joint Service Lightweight Integrated Suit Technology (JSLIST) chemical protective ensemble for the US military is nearing the end of its mission life, requiring the development of new personal protective equipment (PPE) suits for all of the Armed Services. While new suit designs have addressed many design drawbacks of the JSLIST MOPP suits such as thermal stress and flexibility, they s ...

Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are a relatively new class of materials that have extremely high porosity and provide chemical tailor ability that is particularly useful for gas and liquid sorption and catalytic applications. Some MOFs have been optimized for the decontamination of Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs) and significantly outperform current activated-carbon technologies in this area; howev ...

In this Phase II work program, Mission Solutions Group will develop and deliver to USSOCOM a software prototype system for the Platform Agnostic Data Storage Infrastructure (PADSI) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. Our technical solution is designed to provide a common framework for multi-model, multi-layer data storage and import/export control as well as advanced Artificial Inte ...

AXIS (Aerial Crossing Inspection System) is an innovative highway-rail grade crossing inspection system that uses UAVs, cloud processing and clustered-computing to perform inspections with unprecedented efficiency. AXIS is an end-to-end solution that preplans inspection flight paths, uses photogrammetry to create a 3D model of the crossing, calculates the crossing’s risk profile and generates de ...

AVIS (Autonomous Video Inspection System) is an innovative highway-rail grade crossing inspection system that will use deploy Artificial Intelligence based models with efficiency and accuracy. AVIS is an end-to-end solution that will evaluate forward-facing video to detect the presence and condition of key features that help improve the safety of pedestrians and vehicles at highway-rail crossings. ...

AXIS (Aerial Crossing Inspection System) is an innovative highway-rail grade crossing inspection system that will use UAVs and machine learning to perform inspections with unprecedented efficiency. AXIS is an end-to-end solution that will pre-plan inspection flight paths, use drone-mounted cameras to create a 3D model of the crossing, calculate the crossing’s risk profile and generate detailed t ...

A technology for continuous ionization of bio-aerosols and airborne particles to improve the effectiveness of its electrostatic collection was demonstrated in Phase I. We designed, fabricated and tested a 50 CFM device that uses direct induction charging...

This proposal presents a method and technology for continuous ionization of bio-aerosols and airborne particles in building protection applications to enable effective removal of the ionized particles from the air flow by an electrostatic collection device. The proposed ionization method is based on a concept of combining a novel method of direct induction charging by an electric field with divers ...
