DESCRIPTION provided by applicant We devised a new generation highly sensitivity method to diagnosis peripheral neuropathy early when the probability for reversal is greatest Cancer chemotherapy and diabetes are the most common causes of neuropathy in the USA Both cause decreased sweating abnormal circulation peripheral numbness pain and weakness If diagnosed early both are potentially ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Development of radiological nuclear medical countermeasures to treat Acute Radiation Syndrome ARS is a high priority research area for NIAID Bone marrow is one of the most sensitive tissues to radiation damage and impaired hematopoiesis is one of the first clinical signs of excessive radiation exposure often resulting i death Granulocyte colony stimulating ...

This project targets the development of a commercially viable silicon-nitride (SiN) Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) process for gallium nitride (GaN) Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs) applications. In particular, this project will provide a higher quality substitution for commonly used PEVCD SiN passivation layers. These better passivation layers will enable the development and manufa ...

Present sonobuoys allow for the selection of functions such as RF Channel, Depth, etc. by use of a single selector button and LED display along with a second button used for verification located on the side of the sonobuoy. Selection or verification requires access to the buttons and cannot be accomplished once the sonobuoy is loaded into the launcher. The capability to select and verify functions ...

Marine-grade aluminum alloys (5XXX-series) are increasingly being used in naval combatants because they have high strength and high corrosion resistance. In order to decrease weight, these corrosion resistant marine-grade aluminum alloys are not painted with the conventional primer and low solar absorbance topcoats. Although 5XXX series wrought aluminum alloys generally exhibit excellent corrosion ...

In this Phase II.5 effort, FIRST RF will fabricate and test, an Active Electronic Scanned Array (AESA) based radar system that is suitable for both collision avoidance and advanced antisubmarine warfare (ASW) sensors on unammaned aerial systems (UAS). After completion of ground and flight testing of the first AESA System, FIRST RF will design, build, and test, and deliver one AESA system using"pro ...

The Department of Defense is continually looking for opportunities to reduce the weight of fixed-wing aviation assets. Reduced weight translates to a number of significant economic and operational benefits. One area of significant opportunity for increased weight savings is wiring, which is based on metal conductorstypically copperwhich is a heavy material. Furthermore, wiring and connectors are p ...

The sophisticated laser systems required for producing cold and ultracold matter represent a major complexity in the quest to transition cold atom sensor technologies from the lab to the harsh environments of the real-world. There is a substantial need for compact, robust, and easy-to-implement laser modules for cold atom research and application development. Triad proposes an ultra-compact semico ...
