Increasing system capabilities in terms of weapon systems, ISR payloads, GNC, etc., enabled by smaller and more capable electronics systems have led to a trend for overall size reduction in military aircraft. This has resulted in a reduction in the avail...

Surgical simulations aiming to support surgeon practices and medical education have attracted enormous research effort over the last two decades. However, the physical reality, especially on simulating aggregated tissue interaction, is still unsatisfactory. In this proposed work, an open source surgery simulation framework, SoFMIS, will be utilized and enhanced with tissue interaction models to a ...

The ready availability of universal donor plasma to rapidly treat massively bleeding hospital trauma patients and warfighters with combat casualties is a key element of current recommendations for trauma resuscitation, yet universal AB donor plasma is rel

Based on our success in developing the world first commercial high energy femtosecond fiber laser system and our leading proprietary technology development in ultrashort pulsed fiber laser material processing, PolarOnyx proposes, for the first time, a compact high energy fiber laser based smart wound healing tool to meet with the requirement of this DHP solicitation. It includes a high energy fs f ...

The SEAKR team proposes to continue development of the advanced protocol routing system begun in the Phase I effort, to reduce risk toward a flight deployable system for SATCOM assets such as Iridium NEXT. SEAKRs development of the Iridium NEXT modem...

Achieving cyber security has been problematic given the general lack of foundational quantitative metrics to gauge the advantages of one security solution over another. This work significantly advances the development of quantitative metrics and the sec...

ABSTRACT: Researchers are identifying new biomarkers to help monitor, diagnose, and treat growing threats to the human body and enhance human performance. Recent sensor work combining biorecognition elements with field effect transistors (bio-FETs) has been shown sensitive and selective to biomarkers in the picomolar range with continuous detection; however device-to-device performance variability ...

ABSTRACT: Global Engineering and Materials, Inc. (GEM) along with Columbia University propose to develop a simulation tool for modeling mixing process of multi-particle composite systems and generating the ultimate microstructure. A combined theoretical, numerical, and experimental approach will be developed to create a high fidelity software product with a reduced order modeling capability for an ...

The overall project objective is to develop and demonstrate a software package based on Fermi kinetics charge transport and Delaunay/Voronoi field discretization that accurately predicts semiconductor device behavior from DC up through the mm-wave and TH...

ABSTRACT: Infrared sources and sensors are becoming increasingly useful for military and commercial applications. We propose to exploit recent advances in multimaterial fiber technology to produce a new class of optical infrared fibers that are robust and low in cost for high-power, high-stress environments. The use of beam confining fiber optics reduces or eliminates issues with misalignment or d ...
