A robust, reliable power subsystem for the MK 18 MOD 2 UUV that can provide the full range of power requirements for the UUV and its subsystems, while presenting a lower potential energy state when the UUV is in setup and static modes, is necessary. The proposed current effort will expand and leverage the results achieved through the prior Phase STTR project by utilizing Lynntechs experience in de ...

Long-duration wide-area surveillance missions increasingly are space-based. MEO orbits offer space-based radar systems more time on station, but require very large array apertures on the order of 100m in diameter. Achieving larger apertures with smaller, lighter launch packages and stable on-orbit pointing is a challenge that E-Textiles promises to meet. Textile processes can be used to achieve a ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Improving statistical methods to provide better classification performance and new analytical capabilities for categorical regression would be invaluable to the medical and health care research communities. Categorical regression models (e.g., binary logistic, multinomial logistic) are used extensively to identify patterns of alcohol-related symptoms, screen f ...

Because the data products generated by modern imaging ladar systems are inherently large in information content, there is currently a severe bottleneck in the communications of these products to end users, particularly when full-waveform recovery is desired. During the Phase I effort, Bridger demonstrated that their 3D imaging system architecture was ideally suited for seamless integration of high ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Severe sepsis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. It is the leading cause of death in non-coronary intensive care units (ICUs) in the United States, with more than 750,000 cases occurring every year. This means that in the United States, more than 500 patients die from severe sepsis every day, with 28% to 50% of the patients succum ...

Subsequent Phase II Proposal, extension of Phase II contract #N00014-11-C-0309. This SBIR Subsequent Phase II proposal describes a program to improve and enhance the Compact Magnetic Detection Set (CMDS) in its role as the principal detection instrument on a UAV platform for air ASW. The CMDS laser magnetometer is an innovative light-weight, compact, low-power helium metastable magnetometer capab ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Hospital acquired microbial infections are the fourth largest killer in America taking lives and adding $ B to hospital costs The emergence of drug resistant microbes has further amplified public health concern Fungi are prolific producers of anti microbial secondary metabolites SM and since the turn of the century have provided of bioactive m ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant The Dracula Pipette is a co axial embryo microinjection tool with the injection pipette presented from inside the holding pipette Double nested tips seal against the surface of the spherical embryo when a vacuum is applied in the space between them This allows a portion of the nearside surface of an embryo to be held by vacuum while a glass pipette is passed ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant The Specific Aim of this proposal is to file an IND to allow for a Phase I clinical safety study of FGH with an indication for the control of obesity We successfully met the primary endpoints of our SBIR Phase I study R HL As shown by the Phase I report of this proposal following oral gavage significant control of weight gain and improvement ...

Resodyn Corporation proposes to develop a novel cold chain system with a Lifetime Warranty (20+ years) for the vacuum container.The container is composed of a passive energy efficient system for transporting blood and pharmaceuticals in hostile environments for up to three days.Capacity is four unit blood transfusion bags.Energy efficiency is possible by the novel shape and super insulating qualit ...
