There are often secondary or tertiary effects to blast-related injuries including ear injury and hearing loss, which may also result in cognitive and linguistic deficits. The PALS medical Phase I prototype will be a modular addition to our existing technologies that assist with the rehabilitation of traumatic brain injury and gait training for patients with stroke, cerebral palsy and amputations. ...

This SBIR development effort concentrates on blade tip clearance management in the high pressure turbine. Improved seals in this location of a gas-turbine engine provide the highest benefits to overall engine efficiency, service life, stability and stall margin. The COAS proposed will deliver a 3-5% decrease in SFC and a 30-50¢XC decrease in exhaust gas temperature. The ATG COAS is a non-contac ...

The thrust of this program is to perform research and development that will result in diamond sensors that can be integrated with a silicon-based integrated circuit for incorporation into the skin of cognitive missiles and other air vehicles. These sensors will be fabricated on a silicon chip to allow readout of data in real time. AET will design sensor readout circuitry and have it fabricated by ...

The proposed capability will model the debris flyout and the rubble volume resulting from a munition detonation. Fidelity will be tunable so that an application can model rubble effects ranging from a low fidelity point feature with volume and dimensional attributes, to a medium fidelity areal feature with the shape and size of the rubble pile, to the highest fidelity with individual rubble pieces ...

The use of nanoparticles has increased in manufacturing, industry, and commercial products over the past two decades. As a result, governmental agencies, industry, and academia worldwide have formed advisory groups to evaluate exposure and toxicity issues surrounding the potential adverse effects of nanomaterials on human health. However, assessing the potential effects of nanoparticles on human h ...

ArchieMD, Inc. proposes to develop a 3-D Multimedia Battlefield Trauma Training Kit. During Phase II we will develop comprehensive modules for treatment of thoracic and abdominal injuries. We propose to integrate visual 3-D computer models, video recording of the actual treatments, and an interactive virtual patient to develop a comprehensive, effective training tool military surgical teams. The p ...

ArchieMD, Inc. and Medical Education Technologies, Inc. (METI) propose to integrate ArchieMD’s multimedia medical education technology with METI’s patient simulator technology using mixed reality goggles. Using mixed reality goggles, 3D imagery will be superimposed over the view of the user. This will enable the user to get additional 3D didactic information while using the patient simulator ...

Orthopedic injuries have comprised a majority of combat injuries in most recent conflicts. These orthopedic injuries are significantly different than those experienced in the civilian sector, making it difficult for military orthopedic surgeons to develop and sustain battlefield-relevant surgical skills. ArchieMD, Inc. proposes to develop a 3-D Multimedia Training System for Treatment Battlefi ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall aim for this Small Business Innovative Research project is to develop and evaluate a web-based 3D interactive Virtual Emergency Medical Technician-Basic Training Program. ArchieMD's goal is to develop a prod uct that will use 3D interactive visualizations and a virtual patient simulator to teach Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) concepts required f ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In order for the nation to remain competitive in the life science industries, the nation must produce an adequate number of students who pursue degrees in life sciences. Recent years have seen a disturbing drop in Unite d States' student interest in pursuing science education and careers. At the same time, demand for science-based degrees is rapidly increasing ...
