Current cervical spine assessment methodologies are focused on subjective measures (i.e. pain reports) and range-of-motion (ROM) measures that only measure maximum head excursion and reach, but not dynamic motion. Due to report bias and existing incentive

Most standard-of-care tools and techniques for evaluating neck disorders are subjective, unreliable, and do not provide actionable information for providers, payers, and organizations to deliver efficient and effective care. This lack of objective neck he

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

Current prosthetic feet produce much less peak mechanical power than the able-bodied foot/ankle and release only about half of the mechanical energy generated during gait. This leads to higher energy expenditure among amputees as compared to able-bodied i

This Phase II proposal is in response to the Defense Health Agency 2017 SBIR topic 17B-005. The approach is an electrochemical membrane oxygen pump using newly developed nano-thickness membrane technology. The total membrane with all the layers is less

Adverse physiological events (PEs) have plagued warfighters piloting military aircraft, particularly incidents involving hypoxia and cockpit cabin decompression. Although a variety of research has been performed to try to understand the problems and root

Successful missile defense is critical to the security of the United States, its deployed forces, and its allies. Across numerous simulations, tests, and operational scenarios, the Government amasses large quantities of complex high-dimensional data describing missile defense outcomes. While Missile Defense Agency (MDA) analysts need to use this data to better understand and improve missile defens ...

The Triton Multisensory Interactive Data Analysis System (MIDAS) is an innovative method to present, manipulate, and analyze large multi-dimensional data sets to revolutionize the systems analysis of modeling & simulation and test data. MIDAS includes cutting-edge methods, techniques and tools in the manipulation, analysis, and presentation of extremely large multi-dimensional data sets to assist ...

Using a combination of parallel processing and explorative visualization, a new and exciting solution for high-performance visual analysis of large multidimensional data is proposed. Steady volume flows are selected to demonstrate the strategy, methodology, techniques, and functionalities. Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) platforms will be adopted to unleash the power of explorative ...

System-level simulations of the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) generate extremely large quantities of highly multidimensional data, which analysts at the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) must explore and analyze to infer insights and relationships. Existing tools based on automated routine scripts are ill-equipped to handle the volume and complexity of these data, requiring piecemeal analysis ...
