An ideal therapeutic for traumatic brain injury (TBI) accompanied by hemorrhagic shock (HS) should serve both as a resuscitation fluid to restore perfusion pressure while directly protecting the brain from secondary injury. Previous work in mice demonstra

We hypothesize that the use of SanFlow (aka polynitroxylated pegylated hemoglobin; PNPH) will ultimately translate to the reduction of mortality and morbidity, including post-traumatic stress disorder, from battle field traumatic brain injury (TBI). Towards that end, the present SBIR Phase 1 proposal will provide safety and efficacy results of SanFlow in a new guinea pig model of traumatic brain i ...

The concept of operations for future warfighters includes real-time physiological health and status monitoring during mission operations. A compression e-garment that is capable of collection, storage and secure transmission of health data is a key unmet technology requirement for such monitoring. Propel, working iteratively with the DHA as a customer and the project team, proposes to deliver a d ...

The scope of this research initiative addresses what is best practice for delivering mobile applications while ensuring a safe, consistent experience given the differing communications standards, operating systems and hardware limitations of existing and prospective personal communications devices.  It is assumed the scope of this initiative is limited to exploration of applications for consumer devices only, not on-board OEM equipment/applications that may use a passenger's personal communications device to provide network connectivity.  However, the ability of a personal device

Positioning and navigation have become a mainstay of everyday life in the U.S.; applications of interest include navigation of vehicles of all kinds, infrastructure mapping, and safety of life systems. Many of these recent applications have become possible through the GPS. With the recognized vulnerabilities of GPS, it is evident that equivalent backup systems must be developed. One possible so ...

The United States Special Operations Command’s Special Boat Teams are routinely exposed to an environment prone to injury and the long-term effects of repetitive impact stress. The primary cause for injury and long-term degenerative musculoskeletal effects is the repetitive impacts incurred as the MK V and NSW RIB vessels impact the ocean’s surface. The goal of SOCOM02-007 Phase II research is ...

"Qualvox's FreeMotion Trainer will integrate advances in accelerometers, magneto-resistive sensors, rechargeable battery technology, low-power processors, and high-density memory devices roviding a motion analysis system with superior performance,reliability and usefulness. The system will consist of: sixteen sensor modules located on target body segments and one processor board all packaged in a ...

Special Operations Forces (SOF) require a real time display of appr opriate data to allow the helmsman to access the damage potential to his cargo (equipment/personnel) and support his decision relative to speed and course selection when operating in rough water. Furthermore, maintenance support personnel need quantitative data to support design decisions and maintenance activities. This proposa ...

Polymer Bridge Systems, with over 8 years of research composite bridges, found that success hinges on being dollar-for-dollar cost competitive with steel and concrete. We founded the four "golden rules" that are required: the bridge must be: 1) factory build; 2) road transportable; 3) installed in 1 eight-hour day; and 4) be cost-competitive on an installed cost basis. This bridge will be buil ...
