Oceanit proposes to create technologies to improve diver communications at working depths compensating for different gas densities and minimizing communication feedback. The goal is to investigate applications of digital signal processing and actuators (speakers and microphones) and apply these findings in developing a Helmeted Diver communication system(s). This development is to address diver he ...

Oceanit proposes to design a software application that can be used with an infrared (IR) sensor to identify a potential target threat by analyzing its infrared signature.

Bridger Photonics proposes developing an optical metrology probe with a wavelength greater than 2 microns capable of transmitting through key infrared materials, achieving

Bridger Photonics proposes developing a disruptive metrology probe capable of achieving 1 kHz update rates and measurement ranges exceeding 10 cm. This probe will be coupled with OptiPro Systems' 5-axis air-bearing UltraSurf stage to provide optical figure and transmitted wavefront error of large aspheric optics including conformal windows, aerodynamic domes, and corrector optics.

The primary goal of this Phase I research effort is to develop manufacturing methods to grind and polish glass substrates into non-rotationally symmetric freeform conformal sensor windows with dimensions up to 12x12 inches with a sag height of approximately 4 inches and an RMS optical precision of 0.5 micron or better.

PROJECT SUMMARY This program aims to develop a novel non opioid therapeutic for the treatment of pain that targets a subtype of the human voltage gated Na ion channel NaV Preliminary data indicate that SiteOneandapos s lead drug candidates may be more effective than opioids for treating certain types of pain and lack the side effects associated with opioid analgesics which include nausea ...

ABSTRACT: Oceanit proposes to develop materials that are far from thermodynamic equilibrium domain (highly doped polycrystalline materials, nano-structured systems and supersaturated structures, etc.). The processing includes shockwave consolidation and external fields.; BENEFIT: Processing utilizing shockwave consolidation via explosions, high pressure gun systems, and/or electromagnetic waves (e ...

ABSTRACT:Oceanit proposes to develop a software platform capable of integrating information collected over repeated experiments and from disparate sensors to facilitate the measurement of the physiological response of ocular-tissue to damaging levels of light.BENEFIT:The development of a software platform which facilitates integration of data from all relevant retinal imaging modalities used in th ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant This Phase I STTR project seeks to demonstrate proof of principle that novel targetable nanoparticles can delivery therapeutic substances to human tumor cells and reduce tumor burden in metastatic cancer The concept for these nanoparticles is based on the polymerized liposome nanoparticle PLN that displays functional antibodies that target tumor cell surfac ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant The long term goal of this Phase I STTR project is to develop a commercially viable ultrasound contrast reagent UCR that will allow the noninvasive identification of newly forming abdominal adhesions after surgery Successful implementation would have significant impact because we would remove the impediment to clinical testing of anti adhesion therapies and ...
