In this topic, we plan to design a vital EMF sensor to work under any conditions. The sensor will be integrated with smart clothing and using e-textile materials.

Traumatic brain injury is a common problem in both the military and civilian communities, but current treatment protocols are focused on managing symptoms and fail to prevent significant long-term repercussions. In the proposed program, Luna will demonstrate the feasibility of a liposome-based therapeutic delivery system capable of delivering hydrophilic and hydrophobic therapeutics to the traumat ...

There is an urgent need to bypass or cross the blood brain barrier (BBB) to deliver drugs for TBI treatment. This project aims to develop targted intranasally delivered, magnetically propulsed, and targted nanoparticles for traumatic brain injury (TBI). In Phase I, we will demonstrate the design, fabrication, and in vitro characterization of proposed drug laden magnetic nanoparticles as well as co ...

The experimental validation of the DoDs weapon systems is at the cornerstone of national security considerations. The structural requirements for the targets utilized impose a severe cost and lead time burden due to the limitations imposed by the traditional manufacturing processes currently used. Novel manufacturing methods for metal alloys have been established in the past years, but they have y ...

Reservoir Labs and Johns Hopkins University will develop alternative numerical solution techniques that improve computational loading, data storage, and data integrity for rocket vehicle trajectory modeling in MDA federated simulations.The objective of this program is to develop new techniques for trajectory propagation that are more suited for use in federated simulations than traditional methods ...

Globalization and digitization have been driving the recent economic growth at the expense of raising the risk level in the supply chain related to fraud, security, and safety, while current practice of supply chain management and risk assessment is lagging far behind. Therefore, commercial industries and government agencies are seeking advanced supply chain risk assessment solutions, which can ef ...

Fine powder thermal battery cathode materials can exhibit challenging flow properties which makes processing with automated presses difficult.Granulating these powders can substantially improve flow properties and reduce the tendency for powder segregation during handling and pressing operations.Additionally, the properties of MgO that lead to good performance in thermal battery separators are not ...

An advanced hit detection technology is needed for MDA that can report impacts at hyper-velocities and at multiple hit locations. We present a technology with a high level of performance that leverages decades of hit technology experience and utilizes existing technologies developed under previous efforts. Our technology offers a low latency non-interpolated direct indicator of multiple hit locati ...

FreEnt Technologies, Inc., A2Z Innovations, Inc., and the University of Alabama Aerospace Research Center (UAH/ARC) have teamed together to design, develop, and perform ground-based-demonstrations of a High-Speed Simultaneous Multiple Object Detection (HS-SMOD) System for MDA. The HS­SMOD system uses a simple but innovative technique of a passive fiber-optic grid and high-speed COTS opto-electr ...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) often occurs when a sudden trauma or head injury disrupts the function of the brain. Common causes of TBI include damage caused by explosive devices, falls and vehicle or motorcycle accidents. Sepsis is the result of a massive immune response to bacterial infection that gets into the blood. Sepsis often leads to organ failure or injury, and has always been a significan ...
