Those battery systems that are currently readily available (lead-acid and nickel-cadmium), as well as those that are only now becoming a vailable in limited sizes and capacities (nickel-metal hydride and lithium-ion), can provide ample power for most portable equipment applications but the energy density/specific energy performance often resultsin inadequate run times. In contrast, the zinc-ai ...

Many DOD systems employ rechargeable batteries to supply power. Battery weight, volume, cycle life and cost are generally limited considerations in enabling satisfactory mission performance. Systems presently utilize Lead-Acid, Nickel-Cadmium, Nickel-Metal Hydride or Lithium-Iobatteries. The Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MN) system is now under study as a superior candidate for many applications. El ...

Our Phase I research program is based on years of research which strongly suggest that high speed f(FCM) is a technology that can significantly improve toxicity assays. Highly reliable clastogen andhave been developed in our laboratories where FCM has played a major role in processing and analyzinfollowing exposure. In both cases, a significant improvement over conventional assays has resulted.Pha ...

The project is to determine the feasibility of developing a national ambulatory electrocardiographic quality assurance project for independent laboratories, clinics, hospitals and physicians that provide those procedures.

WE HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING A NEW MEANS TO ELECTRICALLY STUDY ANIMAL CELLS GROWN IN TISSUE CULTURE AND INTEND TO MAKE A COMMERCIAL DEVICE SUITABLE FOR USE IN THE MEDICAL/BIOLOGICAL RESEACH AND TESTING MARKET. THE INSTRUMENTAL METHOD, REFERRED TO AS ECIS (ELECTRIC CELL-SUBSTRATE IMPEDANCE SENSOR), IS A NON-INVASIVE TECHNIQUE THAT MEASURES SEVERAL PARAMETERS RELATED TO CELL BEHAVIOR, SOME OF WHICH HAVE ...

We will study how our advanced autostereoscopic minimally invasive surgery. While the performance bstereo are clear, recent stereoscopic products have been slow to gain acceptance. Existing systems hcost/performance levels required for clinical application. These systems, which require a the surgeoglasses, have inherent performance limitations, and cost 2-3 times more than conventional monoscopicd ...

New classes of immunolabels will be produced comprising large metal particles encapsulated within coordination shells of stabilizing ligands, the naturally occurring hollow protein apoferritin, or new synthetic inclusion molecules. The new probes will combine the high electron density, ease of visualization and range of sizes available with colloidal gold probes with the non-aggregation, high pene ...
