Sepax Technologies, Inc. has identified a new type of anoin-exchange resin which separates single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with >80% recovery yield and resolves in a single pass the chiral tubes of (6,5) well from commercial SWCNT starting materials by Chromatography. Improvement and scale up of the targeted resin production will facilitate the separation of chiral nanotubes for the academic ...

Rapid and accurate characterization and/or identification of the differentiation state of the stem cells is critical to the development of regenerative medicine technologies as well as tissue engineering solutions. Current methods and devices are time-consuming, labor-intensive, costly, invasive, and consequently, ill-suited for deployment in military and other limited resource settings. To overco ...

The US Military seeks innovative means to analyze and forecast the health landscape of an area of interest. This knowledge is critical to support non-kinetic operations including Stabilization, Security, Transition, and Reconstruction Operations (SSTRO) and Humanitarian Aid/Disaster Relief Operations."Apps for Rapid Epidemiological Analysis"(AREA) system development enables commercially available ...

Many studies exist which validate M & S based medical training tools as effective in improving practitioner performance. There is little research addressing the cost effectiveness of such training solutions. A gap exists in the integration of cost, performance, schedule, risk, patient outcome improvement, and training efficiency and training transfer factors in assessing medical M & S based train ...

Lumir proposes to build the RPA SOCIAL System, a training supplement providing realistic communications between RPA crewmembers and other mission-relevant entities in simulation-based training environments. The RPA SOCIAL System will enable RPA crewmembers to train as they will fightin a task-saturated, high-tempo environment where they interact with various entities as they control the aircraft a ...

AEgis Technologies proposes in this Phase 1 project to develop a functional description document to define and document a framework capable of incorporating meta-data element enhanced SCORM conformant learning objects into a LMS to enable the delivery of challenging and motivating training tailored to an individual"s needs. The Phase 1 architectural framework will ensure individuals receive rele ...

An advanced strategy and architecture for software deception is proposed. The proposed research and development leverages a DoD SBIR Phase I contract awarded in 2009. The original project performed a feasibility assessment and early design of an architecture for providing software deception. Leveraging the prior work provides an opportunity to reach deeper into the concepts and challenges in usin ...

The Active-Defense Resilient Mission-Oriented (ARMOR) Secure cloud platform provides significant competitive advantages in the defense against vulnerabilities and threats in distributed and cloud computing infrastructures. It achieves this by endowing a traditional infrastructure with a collaborative security layer of active transparent defense and control, a cloud"immune system"which transparen ...

ABSTRACT: Accudyne proposes a SBIR program to develop an automated material placement process for aircraft radomes and demonstrate it by forming quartz cynate ester fabric over an existing radome tool. The process employs computer simulations to model the forming process and compute a 2D fabric pattern as well as a four degrees of motion machine to form the fabric over the curved radome tool. T ...

ABSTRACT: As modern technology has produced a highly-diversified suite of technologies to build upon, warfighting assets have grown, shrunk, become more powerful, and changed in almost every other quantifiable dimension. Following these changes and the proliferation of network-based systems, the opportunities for adversaries to target weapons systems are ever-present and only increasing. For this ...
