Recent advances in 3D structure printing and 3D direct printed electronics have widened the scope of possibilities for the Internet of Things (IoT). New near room temperature 3D direct ink writing (DIW) additive manufacturing (AM) printing processes allow many different type of sensors and they can be embedded anywhere in a structure, which offers several benefits. 1. Protection: sensors face degr ...

Sciperio with team members Georgia Institute of Technology and Centecorp have teamed up to develop an Additive Manufacturing Composite using nano and micro fillers. The team will develop multi-scale models that are supported by experimental characterization for advanced 3D Printable materials. Inelastic response of high strength hierarchical structures composed of engineered materials and specif ...

The development of advanced, realtime, operator-in-the-loop tire/track/soil models, which can predict power and energy requirements, is an essential requirement for determining operational profiles for vehicles, especially hybrids, during the design and d

In a low-texture indoor environment, landmark-based navigation is difficult due to lack of distinctive micro-features such as SIFT and SURF. Intelligent Automation, Inc. (IAI) and GRASP Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania propose a Bio-Inspired Visual Navigation System with the following three innovations: First, we propose a segmentation-based method to extract landmarks as closed contou ...

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

The overall objective of this proposal is to evaluate the new in-situ growth monitoring system, Auger Probe, in an MBE environment for reliable and reproducible, highly precise results. State-of-the art data manipulation techniques will be used without impacting the growth process (MBE in this case). Using Auger Electron Spectrometry (AES), the Probe system will be used for in situ, real time an ...

This STTR Phase I project will develop a novel toxic material storage bag with an inner liner capable of decontaminating chemical and biological warfare agents (CBWA’s).. The inner-liner technology would entail adsorption and decomposition of warfare agents without the release of toxic agents, and will result in a storage bag capable of being disposed of in an environmentally safe fashion. The ...

There is a need for easy-to-use, versatile alloys for additive manufacturing that print consistently regardless of the specific process or machine, or the metallurgical and manufacturing knowledge of the user. Such capability is especially critical for soldiers to be able to make every day items on demand in the theater of war. Toward meeting this need, recent successes developing high performance ...

Thegoal is to develop asoftwaretool that implementsa novelapproach applicableto fitgeneral pharmacologic, toxicology, or other biomedical data, that mayexhibita non-monotonic dose-responserelationship for which thecurrent parametricmodels fail. Thesoftwareexplores dose-responserelationships using both monotonicand non-monotonicmodels,and estimates theassociated doseresponsecurves,which can further ...
