DESCRIPTION provided by applicant It is widely acknowledged that for split vaccines potency determination is often a rate limiting step The FDA approved andquot gold standardandquot potency assay for influenza hemagglutinin HA protein based vaccines is single radial immunodiffusion SRID SRID is a time and labor intensive assay often requiring days to complete and a minimum of hou ...

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 ...

FIRST RF proposes a compact, broadband, highly integrated VHF SAR antenna array which consists of several key enabling technologies demonstrated during Phase I of this program. FIRST RF took an aggressive design approach in Phase I to prove that the conformal wideband antenna array can be used in conjunction with a robust, wideband beamforming network to steer a SAR beam over the desired angular ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Phase II Advanced Technology SBIR [PA-06-134] proposal is in response to NIAID's Notice of High-Priority Influenza Research Areas [NOT-AI-05-013]. In order to provide health officials with the tools required to eff iciently combat a pandemic strain of influenza, it is essential that rapid and cost-effective methods for vaccine production be developed. The ...

The Phase II project will develop prototype software OptAgent™, built on the existing foundation of OptQuest®, a commercial metaheuristic-based optimization engine, to provide a generalized framework for the analysis and optimization of agent-based models by combining optimization algorithms, agent-based simulation, and distributed processing. The software will overcome those weaknesses typica ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): HIV-associated adipose redistribution syndrome (HARS), a form of lipodystrophy, is a common problem in HIV patients on highly active antiretroviral therapy and occurs as a side-effect of their anti-viral drug therapies. HARS is characterized by an increase in visceral adipose tissue, dyslipidemia, and insulin insensitivity, all of which are believed to increas ...

Welkin Sciences proposes to formulate a class of burst-mode communication waveforms tailored for future MDA interceptor communication systems: Advanced Interceptor Data Link (AIDL). The waveform signaling format will support four critical receiver functions: 1) very rapid carrier acquisition and time synchronization; 2) adaptive signal processing to mitigate received signal distortion arising from ...

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 ...

ABSTRACT:Colorado Engineering Inc. (CEI), along with its teammates, proposes to realize the multi-function seeker (MFS) concept in a scalable, heterogeneous, dynamically configurable electronic stack.Leveraging its collective expertise in communication systems design, radar systems design, electromagnetics (EM) analysis and modeling, antenna design, RF design, advanced processing architectures, di ...
