Abstract In this Phase II SBIR project, ASTER Labs will enhance a hands-free automatic oral hygiene device in the form of a comfortable mouthpiece that was designed and successfully tested and evaluated during a Phase I study for persons with oral hygiene disabilities and their caregivers, and then investigate the device’s efficacy in reducing dental plaque and reducing burden, thereby improving ...

In this Phase I SBIR project, Parabon NanoLabs will develop a practical and affordable plan to establish a comprehensive reach-back support system for Rapid DNA analysis.The proposed solution, code-named Rapid-ID, will enhance DHS identity testing and kinship verification capabilities by enabling DNA analysts to review Rapid DNA profiles with OBIM Store/Match/Share software and re-run DNA analyses ...

Currently, there is no analytical reach-back support or Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) laboratory (lab) within Department of Homeland Security (DHS) accredited to review DNA results using the Office of Biometric Identity Management (OBIM) DNA Store/Match/Share capability. The purpose of Phase I is to analyze the feasibility of developing an accredited DHS reach-back capability to review results from ...

Rapid DNA analysis has the potential to be a paradigm shifting technology in the realm of forensic human identification and make DNA the ultimate biometric.Where confirmation of suspects relating to evidence, confirmation of familial relationships in a multitude of applications, or obtaining identification of human remains could have once taken months or years, rapid DNA enables this to be complet ...

First generation ICAM systems are long overdue for improvements because identity federation and managing access based upon ICAM guidelines during emergencies is still non-existent. Existing ICAM solutions are closed, place onerous restrictions on the trust mechanism, do not account for mobile environments and are static in nature. The innovation proposed will, for the first time, provide the abili ...

DHS CISA NRMC identified a problem relating to application of big data and advanced-research models. Specifically, the Advanced Circulation surge model is too computationally intensive, rendering ensemble forecasts too slow for usefulness. The ATS solution will resolve this challenge of intense, highly parallel computational workloads with big datasets, will allow the higher resolution ADCIRC ense ...

To address the supply chain threats that stem from vulnerable or malicious software distributed through firmware on mobile and IoT devices via binary firmware images, we propose a scalable, comprehensive, and automated framework to detect firmware-borne threats, both malicious and (un)intentionally insecure, present in Android and iOS devices. We use a workflow encompassing three analysis techniqu ...

In Phase I, Catalyst proved the feasibility of an Interworking solution for LTE Mission Critical Push-to-Talk (MCPTT) and Land Mobile Radio (LMR) systems that meets the requirements of Public Safety as documented in the National Public Safety Telecommunications Council Public Safety LMR Interoperability with LTE Mission Critical Push to Talk report. In Phase II, we will combine innovations created ...

Progeny developed a social media analytics toolkit called Scanigo under an ONR SBIR N121-092. Scanigo provides a methodology and computer aided approach for identifying critical information from social media for disaster responders. Scanigo implements an Ontology-Based Information Extraction (OBIE) methodology that significantly reduces the amount of information presented to the analysts, based on ...
