The objective of this proposal is to demonstrate the feasibility of producing molded polyurethane viscoelastic foam ear seals with an integral skin, that we call Contoured Foam Pads (CFPs). These CFPs will have a surface profile that has targeted conformability around obstacles that results in an improved acoustic seal around eyeglasses from the military Approved Protective Eyewear List (APEL) and ...

The published data has demonstrated that the currently available resuscitation fluids have detrimental effects on trauma outcomes.By addressing these deficiencies it is expected that the outcomes will improve. The crystalloid based resuscitation fluid in development by GanD Inc. has been designed to address all of the shortcomings of the currently available solutions.The solution, GND-001, is a cr ...

Currently, deployed medics are required to transport, maintain and be resupplied with liquid-based medications and materials that are heavy, expensive to transport, perishable and may require refrigeration.Many medications and materials are or will be available in concentrated or dehydrated formularies that require sterile water for injection (SWFI) to rehydrate for immediate use, such as Lactated ...

Thereis increased interest in endovascular hemorrhagecontrol using aortic balloon occlusion to improve outcomes in preventable battlefield death from non-compressibletorso hemorrhage(NCTH). Our technology, the SABOT, is the nextgeneration in such catheters,which adds the ability of both selectivevascular bed perfusion, bypassinginjured beds, and partial perfusion. In phaseI thefeasibility and proo ...

Increased competition and improved lead times are desired by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment (ALRE) Critical Safety/Critical Application Items (CSI/CAI). Ten ALRE National Stock Number (NSN) items were identified with annual demand values over $10,000 with two or fewer approved sources.Mainstream Engineering has carefully reviewed the ten NSNs provided ...

Increased competition and improved lead times are desired by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for Land and Maritime Hard to Source Items (HSIs). Three National Stock Number (NSN) / part number (PN) combinations were identified with annual demand values over $10,000 with fewer than two approved sources.Mainstream Engineering has carefully reviewed the NSN/PN combinations provided in the solicitat ...

This proposal is in response to the Defense Health Agency 2017 Phase I SBIR topic 17B-005.The approach is the use of a membrane oxygen pump using newly developed nano-thickness membranes with all the layers less than 1 micron total.Nanometer thickness membranes enable more oxygen output per surface area at temperatures of 300-600 C than current state-of-the -art 600-800 C membranes that are 50-300 ...

Universal Technology Corporation (UTC) has teamed with the University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI), Stratonics, and Macy Consulting to demonstrate not only the transitionability into commercial systems, but also to develop the data analytics and monitoring and control requirements to extract the full value fromseveral sensors, including the Stratonics ThermaViz, acoustic and profilometry se ...

Augmented reality (AR) offers the ability to enhance existing combat medic training by including perceptual cues and adaptive training elements to traditional simulation-based training using manikins. Unveil has developed a training system called the Macrocognitive AR Trainer (MART). MART is designed to foster the development of macrocognitive skills (e.g., sensemaking, assessment skills, mental m ...

Providing Army combat medics with meaningful experience in treatment of battlefield injuries is a particular challenge. Moulage has the potential to assist in acquiring what could otherwise be very hard-to-come-by preparatory experience for distressing real-life emergencies medics and soldiers may encounter in the field. However, current approaches to moulage are limited in their ability to reflec ...
