ADA Technologies, Inc. (ADA) and Dr. Massoud Pedram at the University of Southern California (USC) have successfully completed a Phase I STTR effort for the development of a lithium ion (Li-ion)/ supercapacitor hybrid electrical energy storage system (HEESS) to afford pulse power characteristics (projected ~10 kW/kg) in a high energy system (100-150 Wh/kg). The system is enabled via a constant cur ...

Technology Assessment & Transfer, Inc. and subcontractors propose novel, high performance additive manufactured (AM) heat exchangers for military systems. The AM process will allow for conformal, lightweight designs that optimize use of available space. Integrated computational materials engineering will be used to optimize the AM materials and process parameters, correlate material microstructure ...

Innovative Veterinary Medicine, Inc. has conceptualized and designed an anesthesia ventilator named DolVent™ specifically for the Navy Atlantic bottlenose dolphins and California sea lions. The DolVent™ ventilator design will support the normal physiologic state of these animals using ventilation modes mimicking their natural breathing including the modes of Airway Pressure Release Ventilation ...

Executive Summary of Predicate SBIR/STTR Phase I Grant and Team TenGen Biomedical Co. and Howard University received an STTR Phase I grant (5R41AI129119-02) from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in 2017. The overall objective of our predicate STTR Phase I grant is to develop a safe, effective, and affordable Zika vaccine based on the novel concept of the third gene ...

The Department of Defenseisconcerned about adverseeffects ofcircadian rhythm misalignment on sleep hygiene and well-being ofservice members and veterans who suffer from symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Intelligent Automation, Inc., University of Central Florida RESTORES center and Raytheon IDS, proposeto develop PTSD SleepAid, an end-to-end sleep treatment system that monitors an ...

Composite materials have emerged as the materials of choice for increasing the performance and reducing the weight and cost of military aircraft. Nevertheless, manufacture of composite parts still poses numerous difficulties which can result in premature curing, degradation in thin cross-sections, incomplete curing in thick counterparts or build-up of internal stresses. Experimental investigations ...

The solution of systems of both linear and non-linear partial differential equations (PDE) is important to many scientific problems, such as magnetohydrodynamic and non-linear acoustics. Application areas include computational electromagnetics, fusion en...

An integrated program of fundamental research, software development and technology transition to Navy target platforms for computationally efficient yet accurate prediction of turbulence interactions involving disparate length scales has been proposed and is underway. The fundamental research will be conducted at Purdue University and provide a critical modeling component for turbulence resolving ...

During the Phase II effort we will build an Experimental Noise Measurement System designed to measure vibration, waterborne, flow and flow induced noise. The sensor suite will be comprised of six accelerometers, five pressure sensors and nine omni directional hydrophones. The heart of the system is a low power electronics module which will perform signal conditioning and digitization using an FPGA ...

The ongoing SAFARE STTR Phase II effort is focused on improving essential components for the high-energy coherently combined, fiber-based phased-array laser weapon system prototypes developed under the DARPA Excalibur program and significantly reduce system size, weight and required electrical power (SWaP). Fiber-array based laser weapons technology promises high power efficiency and reduced SWaP, ...
