CRG proposes to leverage its partnerships, advanced aerospace system design capabilities, and unique manufacturing technologies to design, build and demonstrate a flying missile rail along with the high-rate production technologies required to meet DARPA’s objectives of 500 units per month, within one month. CRG will focus on high-rate manufacturing technologies currently in use within the autom ...

Nanoscale, material sensitive, imaging techniques are critical for progress in many disciplines as we learn to master science and technology at the smallest dimensions — on the nanometer to atomic-scale. However, progress in both science and technology is becoming increasingly limited by the constraints of current imaging techniques and metrologies. Fortunately, by combining coherent extreme UV ...

We present the design of a small, portable, microwave cold atomic clock that meets the frequency stability requirement of < 8X10-13 at 1 s averaging time and < 3X10-15 for an averaging time of 1 day. The entire clock is about the size of a desktop computer 18.75 ” X 14.75 ” X 8.77 ” (47.6 cm X 37.5 cm X 22.3 cm) and weighs 30.5 kg. The clock can run on both 100-240 VAC as well as +24 VDC. St ...

CRG is demonstrating actively cooled, architected C/C designs for shape stable hypersonic structures using MG Resins, a unique, high char yield material system as a replacement to typical phenolic and pitch C/C precursors. The intent is to understand the parametric design space for which C/C structures produced with MG resin facilitate active cooling of various hypersonic structural elements and f ...

Cornerstone Research Group Inc. (CRG) proposes to develop an externally wearable, non-invasive, battery-operated device capable of providing analgesia equivalent to pharmacological peripheral ring nerve blocks by manipulating nervous system activity with

Opportunity: Guayule, a US native plant, is the only alternate rubber crop with an established, mechanized, agronomic system. Problem: Low rubber yields and lack of effective resin and bagasse coproduct valorization, have prevented widespread adoption by American farmers and processors. Rubber is only made when the cytoplasmic monomer pool (isopentenyl-pyrophosphate; IPP) is larger than that requi ...

Traumatic injuries account for 30% of all life years lost in the US and is the leading cause of death for people under 46 years of age. Uncontrolled bleeding or hemorrhage constitute 30-40% of trauma related deaths and are considered to be a major cause o

Researchers are identifying new biomarkers to help monitor cognition and stress in the human body and enhance human performance. Traditional biomarkers like heart rate, temperature, oxygen saturation, blood glucose, electrolyte concentration, etc have bee

The primary objective of this Phase II proposal is to reduce the size, weight, and power (SWAP) needed to implement ground terminal electronics for protected waveforms such as AEHF and PTW. Specifically, this Phase II effort will reduce the SWAP of the baseband signal processing and demonstrate AEHF terminal functionality on the reduced-SWAP platform. The development effort includes the design and ...

Defense Health Agency (DHA) is seeking a multi-functional diagnostic to determine blood coagulopathy in real time at point-of-care (POC). Blood coagulopathy, resulting in uncontrolled bleeding, is implicated in 80% of operating room deaths and 50% of trau
