The DOD has a need for surgery and procedural training models, which have a high degree of realism and functionality with synthetic skin, muscle, vessels, adipose, and connective tissue. The 3D printing of synthetic tissues enables such models to be fabricated customized to particular situations (i.e. unique anatomy, bone fracture, or condition) and with lower cost than conventional methods. Inco ...

This project aims to make Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing a practical tool for supply chain management for the Defense Logistics Agency.The key step is developing process standardization to make LBPF quality vendor independent. This project will seek to demonstrate the use of a promising high speed melt pool monitoring device as a practical means to establish such process sta ...

Made In Space, Inc. (MIS) and Siemens PLM Software propose an integrated Automated Processing. Monitoring, Control and Remediation System (Aul) to provide a process monitoring and control capability. Made In Space, Inc. leads the effort based on integrating Made In Space, Inc., proven inspection sensors systems with a Digital Thread for Additive Manufacturing (DTAM) system, co-developed by Siemens ...

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 ...

For this Phase I SBIR proposal, Vcom3D proposes to design advanced medical moulage that accurately simulates the progression of an injury or pathology by morphing through a series of clinical states to enable learners to confirm the progression of the wound and to determine whether iatrogenic errors or pathologies occurred duing treatment. The physical morphing moulage may be applied to medical m ...

Prioria is proposing a family of aircraft configurations to address USSOCOM's requirements. Achieving the significant endurance, range, winds, and payload requirements simultaneously requires a highly-optimized aircraft. The configurations range in endurance, robustness, and capability. Configuration 1 is a sturdy fixed-wing aircraft that achieves moderate endurance but can tolerate rough handl ...

The potential to transform healthcare management through information technology continues to grow, as more systems, devices, and people than ever before provide and collect health data. Unfortunately, progress is slow because the multitude of systems to integrate do not speak a common language. We propose to create a universal translator between health languages, which will allow multiple system ...

The most critical obstacle to the seamless exchange of healthcare information is the translation from the proprietary medical ontologies of private providers to a universal reference language (i.e., the 3M Health Data Dictionary). Stottler Henke proposes to develop a new system, called Bridge, which will directly address this challenge through three primary techniques. First, we employ a novel a ...

Silicon on Sapphire technology offer several advantages over bulk CMOS and BiCMOS technologies for the design of RFICs (RF Integrated Circuits) for the System on Chip radio applications. These advantages include superior radiation hardness, improved isolation between circuits, higher efficiency amplifiers, and more bandwidth per cost. In the last few years, RFIC designers have favored are Zero-IF ...
