THIS INVESTIGATION EVALUATES A MULTI-ROW STRAIGHT CHANNEL DIFFUSER, A MULTI-ROW CASCADE (AIRFOIL) DIFFUSER, AND A MULTI-ROW DIFFUSER WITH A BEND TO AXIAL, IN ORDER TO CHOOSE THE BEST COMPONENTS NEEDED TO MEET AIRCRAFT RESTRICTED DIAMETER DESIGN REQUIREMENTS. THE SYSTEMATIC DESIGN, FABRICATION AND TEST INCLUDES COMPARISON TO BACKGROUND DATA SETS, AND DETAILED TRAVERSE AND LASER MEASUREMENTS AS WARR ...

RELIABLE THROUGH-THE-EARTH COMMUNICATIONS (TEC) ARE NEEDED FOR COMMAND AND CONTROL OF DEEP-BASED ICBM SITES. THE REQUIRED DATA RATES CAN BE ACHIEVED BY USING BOTH SIGNAL CODING AND SIGNAL-TONOISE-RATIO (SNR) ENHANCEMENT TECHNIQUES. THE KEY SIGNAL-PROCESSING ELEMENTS OFJSUCHASYSTEM ARE: NOLINEAR PROCESSING (NLP), ADAPTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION (ANC), QUADRATURE-AMPLITUDE MOUDLATION (QAM), ERROR-CORREC ...

DYSLEXIA AFFECTS MILLIONS OF CHILDREN AND ADULTS. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP, TEST, AND MARKET SOFTWARE DESIGNED TO REMEDIATE DYSLEXIA. NO SUCH PRODUCT CURRENTLY EXISTS. DURING PHASE I, A PROTOTYPE READING PROGRAM WILL BE PRODUCED BASED ON INSTRUCTIONAL CONTENT SPECIFIED WITH CONSULTANTS MARION BLANK AND ISABELLE LIBERMAN, BOTH WELL-KNOWN RESEARCHERS IN THE PROCESSES INVOLVED IN R ...

THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO PRODUCE A MICRO-MINIATURE, FULLY IMPLANTABLE DISPLACEMENT SENSOR, CAPABLE OF CHRONIC IMPLANTATION IN VIVO. THE DEVICE WILL INCORPORATE SEVERAL NEW FEATURES THAT ENHANCE THE GENERAL USEFULNESS OF THE SENSOR. THE DEVICE IS BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF DETECTION OF THE PROXIMITY OF A MAGNET BY A HALL-EFFECT SENSOR. PHASEI OF THE STUDY IS DESIGNED TO (1) TEST AND IMPROVE TH ...

EPIDEMIOLOGIC AND CLINICAL STUDIES HAVE DOCUMENTED THE HIGH PREVALENCE OF LIGAMENTOUS TISSUE INJURY AMONG ATHLETES AND OTHER INDIVIDUALS ENGAGED IN VARIOUS SPORTING ACTIVITIES. TREATMENT OF THESE INJURIES BY AUGMENTING OR REPLACING INJURED TISSUE WITH OTHER TISSUE FROM THE BODY HAS NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL. FOR THIS REASON, ATTENTION HAS SHIFTED TO DEVELOPMENT OF PROSTHETIC LIGAMENTS. A POTENTIAL CANDI ...

This project aims to develop NeuroManager™, an innovative neuroinformatics platform for advanced parsing, storing, aggregating, analyzing and sharing of complex neuroscience image data. A core technology that we will develop in NeuroManager will be Image Content Analysis for Retrieval Using Semantics (ICARUS), a novel, intelligent neuroimage curation system that will enable image retrieval based ...

ABSTRACT The goal of this Fast-Track STTR project is to optimize and test a novel arm restraint in older critically ill mechanically ventilated patients that increases mobility; reduces agitation, use of sedative medications, and delirium; and exhibits high satisfaction and acceptability among hospital staff, family members, and patients. Older mechanically ventilated patients are often immobilize ...

The Navy requires a long-range standoff solution for Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) command and control that allows EOD Technicians to operate existing and future maritime expeditionary robots from a safe separation distance. The ideal system will provide the situational awareness and command and control required to effectively and efficiently execute the objectives of subsea threat mitigation as ...

Situational Awareness (SA) is critical on the battlefield to maintain warfighter lethality, mobility, and survivability while countering emerging threats. Increased awareness enabled by the rapid delivery of crucial information and enhanced vision through the Situational Awareness Enhancement System (SAES) will allow warfighters to quickly spot possible threats and make timely decisions. This addi ...

The objective of this STTR is to develop a highly autonomous hull grooming system that can be operated easily and cost effectively with minimal supervision. The focus of the Phase 1 effort was to design and characterize the navigation system that can provide the required accurate on-hull navigation. The focus of the Phase 2 Base effort is to demonstrate closed loop autonomous control for relative ...
