Guild Associates, Inc. proposes to develop and evaluate an active electrochemical sensor based residual life indicator (RLI) for adsorptive carbon filters. The sensing system of the RLI will operate by analyzing the electrochemical state of the carbon within the filter and evaluate the remaining adsorptive reactive capacities of the filter. The sensor design will be challenged against an array of ...

The main objective of this Phase II SBIR project is to evaluate a number of different self-healing tissue compositions suitable for incorporation into surgical training models.Successful implementation of Phase I formulations will be extended to a wider

A new and promising algorithm is proposed based on hyperspectral unmixing by a sequential processor that will be further developed for data fusion to both enhance sensor sensitivity and eliminate the need for separate background interrogation, thereby allowing for fast real time detection. Sensor sensitivity will be improved by a combination of passive FTIR spectroscopy, and active thermal imagin ...

An advanced sensor for proximal detection of contaminants on surfaces is proposed based on hyperspectral differential polarization reflection of LWIR radiation from an active IR source, blackbody lamp or wavelength agile laser and an advanced unmixing algorithm whose feasibility was demonstrated by field test data in the Phase I program. The high signal-to-noise ratios provided by the active irrad ...

In this proposal, a team comprising of HyPerComp and Aerojet-Rocketdyne shall create a computational system for the detailed modeling of the interaction of the human body with blast waves. The model will be able to address complex geometry and physics of the blast scene, as well as anatomical detail of the human body with adequate resolution. Nonlinear equations of state, adapted to individual tis ...

In 2010 tinnitus became the most common service-related disability among veterans, with disability benefit costs projected to exceed $2.26 billion by 2014. Methods for objective diagnosis of tinnitus are currently nonexistent and direly needed by the military. QUASAR and Otosound are partnering on this SBIR project to develop an efficient and objective tinnitus diagnostic device. This device ...

Building on our successful Phase I work our Phase II objectives are to complete development and integration of our two proposed sensors into an unprecedented self-confirming MeS detection system further refining our ability to meet key requirements identified in Phase I. More specifically, we will develop a NEMS based MeS sensor system complete with a telemetry system and/or a remote logging, data ...

We propose to develop a wireless, battery powered, finger-worn ultrasound probe and wearable system capable of performing the FAST exam for use in the battlefield. The system will be based on the SonicEye? FAST exam probe, developed with DOD funding, with demonstrated capability of performing the FAST exam. This proposal also leverages a miniature beamformer currently under development with DOD f ...

Typical handheld medical ultrasound array probes are not well suited to point of injury care or attended casualty evacuation vehicles due to their bulky size and the requirement that the device be held in the hand of the medic. Portable ultrasound systems are available that allow for improved mobility, but a truly wearable portable system has not yet been realized. This proposal seeks to develop a ...
