Chronic musculoskeletal pain creates a significant public health burden, and Veterans are disproportionately affected. The frequency and extent of co-occurrence of pain and PTSD, pain and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), all three conditions (Post-deployment Multi-symptom Disorder (PMD), and other multi-symptom syndromes can complicate and reduce the effectiveness of pain treatment. Furthermore, the ...

This Phase II STTR effort is focused on generating the data necessary to identify the phenomenology that produces carbon deposition within kerosene film cooled rocket engines.This data is essential to guide the model development and validation process.Program outputs will be both data and a physics-based model for carbon deposition.

Phase I demonstrated the feasibility of making the critical components that exhibit the primary technical features necessary to meet the performance requirements of the IR calibration source. However the fabrication methods for the critical components of

ABSTRACT:This Phase II SBIR is the continuation of DSSPs Phase I work into the development of their novel solid state energetic material into an extremely insensitive, non-toxic, and electrically controllable explosive as a replacement for current Mk 82/83/84 bomb fills. This additional insensitivity does not sacrifice performance, as chemical performance modeling shows that an aluminized version ...

ABSTRACT:Material and Process Solutions LLC will build a modular, outer mold line (OML) gap fatigue test fixture that can be used to predict the overall lifetime of a complete OML stack-ups (gap filler and coatings) used on aircraft.We will evaluate two complete OML stack-ups at three conditions: no exposure, and both sequential and concurrent environmental conditioning and fatigue testing.The mod ...

ABSTRACT: VSI proposes the development of the SIGMA (Speedy Imagery Geo-registration and Motion Analysis) system, which will address three key requirements by the end of Phase II: (i) adapt to different type of sensors, sensor-configurations and sensor operating conditions, (ii) handle large amount of data in real-time or close to real-time using limited resources, and (iii) operate under conditi ...
