TDA Research, Inc. (TDA), designed, built, and tested a dense array of 100 very low cost infrasonic sensors. Due to their low cost (1/100x-1/10x the cost of other infrasound sensors), they can be economically deployed in very large numbers; such large arrays can gather more information than a few expensive sensors. They are sensitive from 0.1 Hz - 100 Hz down to 0.08 Pa. We tested the sensors in s ...

Cornerstone Research Group Inc. (CRG) proposes to develop an externally wearable, non-invasive, battery-operated device capable of providing analgesia equivalent to pharmacological peripheral ring nerve blocks by manipulating nervous system activity with

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

Tension pneumothorax (PTX) is the presence of air between the parietal pleural and visceral pleural, and most often occurs as a result of blunt or penetrating thoracic trauma. Left untreated, the accumulation of air in the pleural cavity shifts the medias

Traditionally P&O interface design has been a craft activity, based primarily on the experience of the P&O provider. Even with advances in computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing, the design process remains artisanal and without a clear sci

Veterans with amputations are relatively common as a result of war and peace keeping efforts. The civilian amputee population is also steadily growing as a result of vascular disease. For many years, there has been an emphasis on the development of prosth

Current balance and gait assessment practices in field environments lack adequate sensitivity to measure subtle but potentially duty-limiting deficits in Service Member (SM) performance. Clinicians endeavor to provide timely, evidence-based assessment of

The Defense Health Agency has identified the need for an advanced computing and networking capability to support unfettered operation of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) systems in delayed/disconnected, intermittently-connected, low-bandwidth (DIL) enviro

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

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
