The proposing company's reformable, reusable tooling can substantially reduce the time, cost and effort associated with conventional or alternative tooling while providing the flexibility for prototyping iterations, short-run or low rate manufacture through lengthy product cycles. This Phase II project addresses the use of reformable tooling materials and tooling systems for the production of prot ...

The use of reformable, reusable tooling can greatly reduce the time, cost and skills required for conventional tooling production, and no waste products are generated since the tooling materials themselves can be rapidly cycled from a hard tooling-capable state to a liquid-like state and back to the tool-capable state. We are proposing to create a new, lightweight, rapid tooling system for proto ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): More than 10 million individuals in the U.S. are thought to suffer from diabetic neuropathies. Many serious medical problems stem from this condition, including degradation of the mechanical senses of touch and propri

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Stroke survivors constitute one of the largest groups of patients receiving rehabilitation services in the United States. The inability of most stroke survivors to regain full sensorimotor function significantly impacts quality of life while generating tremendous ongoing health care costs and losses to productivity. Recent scientific and clinical findings have ...

A W-band digital communications transceiver will be developed with 5 GHz instantaneous bandwidth utilizing the 71 - 76 and 81 - 86 GHz frequency spectrum recently allocated by the FCC. This project has both military and commercial applications for SATCOM and Point-to-Point digital communications using formats such as 1.25 Gbps and 10 Gbps Ethernet for extremely wideband data and video transmission ...

An X-band digital transmit module will be developed that is suitable for phased-array radar and communications applications. This proposed Phase II SBIR will combine our Phase-I X-band transmit module design with a DBF receiver that Applied Radar is developing through separate (non-SBIR) funding from AFRL. In addition, we will investigate the development of a synthesizer to provide a common LO sig ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): BCR Diagnostics, Inc. (BCR) proposes to study the feasibility of applying its low-cost biosensor technology to detecting bacteremia in real-time (i.e., less than 5 min). The premise underlying the application is that

The goals of this Phase II SBIR include development of a strike planning deconfliction system, providing a real-time implementation for replanning, providing a mechanism to deconflict with fallout of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), and providing a scalable and extensible mechanism to support multiple levels of decision echelons. The development of the Strike Planning and Deconfliction (SPAD) p ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): People are living longer than ever before and one of the greatest challenges facing the elderly is maintaining adequate functional capacity as they reach advanced age. Achieving this goal in turn depends on the ability
