The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will be the development of technology to improve the accuracy of skeletal evaluation within developmental and reproductive toxicology (DART) studies. The goal is to better ensure that potential therapeutics, cosmetics and agrochemicals do not cause teratogenic effects. Today, DART studies rel ...

This SBIR Phase II project will develop a multi-sensory social skill program to improve the lives of children who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Currently, ASD is the fastest growing developmental disability in the US, with 1 in 59 children being affected. It is well established that children with ASD struggle with their social skills, which negatively affects the child's ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project will contribute to the introduction into the educational market of a product uniquely designed to help educators prepare today's students for the challenges of tomorrow's workforce. The ability to think critically and creatively, to communicate effectively, and to solve problems in a collaborative, technology rich environment previously defi ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to introduce a set of powerful neurological health metrics for objective and reliable tracking of patient outcomes, clinician performance, and therapy efficacy. Significant societal benefits may be realized from the introduction of this technology in the clinical applications and clinical ...

The overall goal of this effort is to quantify the system-level response of structure/shelters to fires. Proposed is a physics-based, multi-dimensional simulation software to quantify the system-level response during fires and to reduce the amount of full-system experimental testing required to ensure personnel safety. An existing REI-developed user interface designed to offer a full suite of tool ...

UDC proposes to further optimize the formulations developed in the Phase I program to provide high strain adhesives with improved the integrity and reliability of structural bonded joints to reduce the number of bolts needed for a mechanically joined component. This will increase overall performance, including blast and ballistic impact survivability, and allow reduction of fasteners with subseque ...

The US Army is seeking a high-resolution, rail-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging system capable of operating within the 100 – 300GHz frequency range. Wide bandwidth SAR technologies at this frequency range provide the potential for supporting applications that require high-resolution, non-destructive imaging. In response to this opportunity, MaXentric is proposing a rail-based SAR sys ...

A novel method for spider silk production is proposed from genetic engineering to fabric production utilizing microbial organisms. Industrially viable process blocks are utilized in each step of the bioprocess to allow for scalability of the overall process towards commercialization. Department of Defense (DoD) and civilian markets have been proven through buy in of DoD entities as well as private ...

MaXentric is proposing a novel C2 network solution capable of interconnecting wireless devices simultaneously over different wireless technologies (military and/or commercial) either operating in peer-to-peer mode or using a wireless infrastructure. Our solution has the following main components: 1) A novel, hybrid approach to networking in intermittently connected networks, where delay tolerant n ...

Rocket motor propellant could react violently when struck by bullets or fragments of exploding weapons. Currently-available armor designs completely prevent threat penetration but are about four times too heavy; their installation on a mobile missile launcher would make the vehicle unable to conduct its mission. The armor design can be made lighter if fragments can penetrate and strike the motor w ...
