The Phase II Technical Objectives align with the project goals of developing an outdoor device for spatial protection in a defined, limited outdoor area. While existing work has proven out technology which is effective in indoor areas, the work has not b

Blood in thechestcavity (hemothorax) as a result of injury remains a common and seriouschallengein military and civilian trauma management. The primary treatment of hemothoraxrequires a tubeto beinserted into the pleural space around thelung. Unfortunately, in about20% of thecases,significant amounts of blood,clot, and fibrin remain after initial drainage.Left untreated, thiscan lead to a permanen ...

VitaMe Technologies Inc. (doing business as “VitaScan”) and Cornell University will develop the “Iron.Scan” - a point-of-care system for iron deficiency and anemia diagnosis in about 10 minutes from a finger stick of blood. The system comprises of (1) an

iFyberLLC proposes to develop acoliform assay with differential detection of E.coliand total coliform that will circumvent thecurrent challenges with detectingthese organismsatalevel of1 CFU per100mLin less than 8 hours. The proposed assay targetsaresult in less than 8 hours by making use of novel microspherereagents forcaptureand concentration of thetargetcells,and couplingthesereagents with loop ...

Over 50,000 American warfighters had been wounded in action in Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom with over 1,500 requiring major limb amputations. Warfighters and first responders must have proper tools for pain management during prolonged field care, allowing rapid stabilization and extraction while mitigating chronic pain effects. Recent studies indicate that magnetic fields can produce temp ...

The trend toward replacement of highly toxic chemicals with less hazardous alternatives has created the demand for replacement of chromate conversion coatings for corrosion protection of aluminum alloys. Aluminum alloys are the predominate structural material used in aircraft because of their high strength-to-weight ratios, affordability and processability. Aluminum is subject to catastrophic fail ...

This SBIR program would develop practical methods for the interconnection, addressing and control of large numbers of distributed MEMS-based sensing and actuation elements using optical fiber multiplexing techniques. Such interconnected sensor/actuator arrays have immediate and long-term applications in the instrumentation and control of adaptive aircraft, spacecraft and hydrocraft structures, fl ...
