"The challenges associated with surgery are diverse and often subtle. In order for a surgeon to become proficient, a thorough understanding of a wide range of surgical techniques is required. This includes the ability to assess a given situation and takethe appropriate actions. These techniques require fine perceptual motor skills and attention to detail. The difficulty of open surgery notwith ...

"Army Transformation efforts and the ongoing digitization of the battlespace have created a situation where much of the data needed to create automated AAR products in training environments is now available in actual combat environments. Using AAR systemsas operational tools, we now have the opportunity to provide military organizations with AAR-like products and operational feedback in time for ...

"LighTouch Medical uses tissue modulated, near infrared Raman spectroscopy to measure blood glucose in human fingetips in vivo noninvasively. Using this proprietary and completely painless technique, LighTouch is able to measure blood glucoseconcentrations with accuracy and precision equal to standard fingerstick tests in the entire relevant range of blood glucose levels including below 100 mg/dl ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I proposal will lead to the development of a sensor for detection of the early onset of ketosis by breath acetone measurements. The device will be hand-held, lightweight, and battery-powered. Near-infrareddiode laser measurement of a gas-solid reaction product of acetone will afford increased sensitivity. The sensor will provide a rapid measurement ...

Anti-cancer immunization is limited by the poor immunogenicity of tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) normally used for vaccination. This problem may be overcome by direct adenovirus-mediated delivery of TAAs to dendritic cells (DCs), which play a centralrole in the generation of the immune response. The specificity and efficiency of this vaccination strategy may be improved by specifically targeting ...

Not Available Q-DOT proposes to develop a miniature oscillator MINO) in a small (0.2 x 0.2 x 0.5 ), PCMCIA-card-compatible module. The MINO will oscillate at a frequency in the range of 1-10 GH (nominally 6Ghz). The MINO is specifically designed to drive high performance analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) in advanced digital receivers. These 16-bit ADCs are characterized by 100mhz bandwidth ...
