Award Data

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 Video-Compression using Robust, Adaptive, Multiple Methods, and Innovative Techniques (V-CRAMMIT) project is a Second Phase II effort that continues developing, demonstrating, and fielding innovative compression solutions while expanding into the vide

Joint reduction is a key skill and is a core competency for orthopedic surgeons deploying as part of a trauma team. Current training options are limited to classroom instruction on uninjured persons due to lack of a suitable training simulator. The first

In a multiple patient situation, the medics need all the help they can get. Monitoring several patients is a difficult task, and associating the vital signs data with the right patient is crucial. Providing medics with a tool to assist in this task can gr

Sweat contains biomarkers that give an indication of human cognitive levels. In this SBIR project TDA Research is developing a modular sweat sensor patch that has the capability to not only carry out real-time monitoring of select biomarkers, but also to

Currently, deployed medics are required to transport, maintain and be resupplied with liquid-based medications and materials that are heavy, expensive to transport, perishable and may require refrigeration. Many medications and materials are or will soon

In order to meet DHA’s need for in-line, non-invasive and non-destructive cell monitoring in dynamically growing cultures, In Phase I, ChromoLogic (CL) developed a prototype system for cell monitoring by optical coherence tomography (CM-OCT). Following th

Two main problems are targeted by the proposed work: (1) the underutilization of coal, a valuable natural resource, has led to a catastrophic drop in employment within the coal industry ecosystem in specific geographic areas in the country; and (2) the need within the insurance-driven roof replacement market for a suitable, light weight, low cost, high durability roofing material.These problems wi ...

The life expectancy of offshore wind turbines is at least 20 years, during which they must operate optimally with respect to power production, minimization of mechanical stresses, plant wake distribution, and more, in a range of atmospheric conditions.These conditions are currently observed using meteorological masts, which provide inadequate observations, thus resulting in suboptimal turbine desi ...

The feasibility of fusion as a practical energy source needs to be improved significantly by removing some of the restrictions that low-temperature superconductors put on the fusion magnet systems.One method to simplify the magnet system is by using high-temperature superconductors (HTS) that allow for a higher magnet performance and much larger temperature margins.Successful application of HTS in ...
