DESCRIPTION provided by applicant The overall goal of this project is to demonstrate the ability of our acute myocardial infarct selective paramagnetic contrast agent Gadolinium ABE DTTA to differentiate between acute and chronic infarcts in a reliable manner using contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging ceMRI In our Phase I data we have shown that Gd ABE DTTA exclusively highlight ...

A critical capability required by the DoD is maintaining an accurate and comprehensive picture of the battlespace at all times. A key to this is the growing use of layered sensor networks that together form complex systems-of-systems. Utilizing this approach for effective situational awareness requires high level of trust in the data that is ultimately produced. Critical to this goal is ensurin ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project develops novel materials processing and device design that extract the maximum possible performance out of the lithium niobate electro-optic material. The novel modulator device incorporates reconfigurable quasi-phase matching (RQPM) to produce an arbitrary RF bandpass response. The Phase I effort has laid a firm foundation for the creation ...

The Air Force is seeking new technology that will provide the means to accurately measure and monitor turbine inlet gas temperature in gas turbine engines, particularly in advanced engines operating at very high temperatures (>3,100 degree F). In Phase I of this program, Advanced Fuel Research, Inc. demonstrated that turbine inlet gas temperature can be determined from non-intrusive measurements ...

For mission critical data storage on systems operating in natural space and nuclear weapons environments, the use of radiation hardened (RH) non-volatile memory (NVM) is imperative. Today’s complex computer controlled electronic systems use NVM to store critical data for proper operation. This typically includes configuration parameters which allow the system to return to a known configuration ...

Under this NAVAIR SBIR Phase II.5 Continued Development (CD) effort Applied Physical Sciences Corp. will develop and demonstrate the hardware and software for a proof-of-concept experiment in which advanced array and signal processing technology is used to help detect an underwater target. Vector hydrophones and low-power computing electronics will enable an acoustic receiver system that can explo ...

Advanced Optical Systems, Inc. (AOS) has developed and demonstrated the Cable Angle Measurement System, a low-cost, accurate system for measuring a helicopter’s load position and motion at the end of an external sling. By using a camera, an LED target, and custom electronics, the AOS system measures the load’s angle with better than 0.1° accuracy across a 150° field of view and with 0.1°/s ...

DARPA SBIR solicitation SB082-011 seeks the design and development of high power density electric motors for hybrid electric air platforms, indicating a need for a prototype motor rated at 7 hp, weight less than 1.4 lbs, efficiency greater than 95% and operating at speeds less than 10,000 revolutions per minute (RPM), to be used for a ducted fan of less than 12 inches in diameter with a targeted s ...

The Phase II R&D will create a set of water distribution system monitoring and modeling software components (NetSafe V2) that can be used to create a new contaminant warning system (CWS) or to augment an existing one. These components will be field-tested at the US Army Ft. Drum facility, and will be integrated into existing SCADA and GIS. The feasibility of the innovative approaches behind these ...

Orbital Research Inc in collaboration with NASA Glenn Research Center (NASA GRC), Kent State University (KSU) and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) will design and test the second generation, Pilot Physiologic Assessment System (PPAS-2) as part of the Phase I option and Phase II SBIR program funded by the U.S. Navy. The system will be a comprehensive bio-monitoring suite that acquires ph ...
