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 ...

The diagnostic systems in use in military machines are large and expensive. Other military machines could benefit from diagnostic and prognostic systems, but cannot afford the added size, weight and expense. Orbital Research proposes to address this issue by adapting the rugged ASICs that it has presently in development, and those planned for future development, into a single System on a Chip ( ...

Communication SoC technology has advanced significantly over the past ten years resulting in highly integrated radio SoC chips for standards such as wireless Wi-Fi[xx], global position system (GPS), Bluetooth (BT), 3G cellular, digital TV (DTV), and cable modems. While most radio SoC’s are narrowband (e.g. WiFi, GPS, BT, and cellular), future trends favor broadband software defined radios (SDR) ...

This proposal is to develop an adaptable and expandable simulation-based training system for teaching and training the soon-to-be-deployed medics in junctional and non-compressible hemorrhage control and other point of injury care trauma control scenarios using Combat Ready Clamp, Abdominal Aortic Tourniquet or similar devices. Training system will include: 1. A model of a torso mimicking anat ...

The goal of this Phase I project is to develop an engineering plan and to create a prototype for a mobile, cloud-based expert system to aid in diagnosis, decision support and predictive analytics to improve clinical outcomes for veterans, soldiers, and their families with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Lifecom, Inc. is a health information technology compan ...

To meet the DHP"s need for a freestanding, lightweight, compact, portable trap to collect a broad spectrum of flying disease vectors, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a Multi Configurable Trap (McTrap), based on a combination of trap features that have proven effective in collecting different species; a solar-powered internal rechargeable power source; and a lightweight CO^2 s ...

Civilian and military organizations throughout the world perform surveillance to combat vector-borne disease. Of particular concern to the U.S. military are mosquito genera Anopheles, Aedes and Culex, which are important vectors for malaria, dengue and West Nile virus respectively, and sand fly genera Phlebotomus and Lutzomyia, both vectors for leishmaniasis. The trap most commonly used for by U.S ...

With this Phase I SBIR project we intend to develop technical solutions to the primary issues limiting the feasibility of a stand-alone real-time balance feedback device. We intend to develop a technique that uses multiple sensors to estimate the orientation of the user"s body segments in the presence of real world disturbances. The effort will develop and validate techniques for accurate real-tim ...

In response to the DHP 12-010 self powered biosensor solicitation, MaXentric proposes the VitalH system. Acknowledging the difficultly in creating a completely self-powered bio-sensor system that wirelessly transmits vital sign information, MaXentric has developed a solution which is extremely power efficient and minimally invasive. The VitalH garment continuously senses full ECG waveforms in a co ...

To address the DHP need for a controlled, target-specific delivery system for topical treatment of peripheral neuropathy (PN), Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop Nano Therapeutics for Peripheral Neuropathy (NATPEN). The NATPEN will include a nanocarrier (NC) loaded with specific drugs, a biocompatible gel to contain the NC, and a microneedle patch for transdermal delivery of the ...
