DNA microarray technology, in combination with statistical and predictive modeling tools, could be used to evaluate thousands of genes against distinct gene expression patterns induced by chemical/biological agents to provide early identification and speed therapeutic intervention. The overall objective of this Phase II effort is to leverage existing public domain resources and commercial tools t ...

THIS PROPOSAL DESCRIBES A SIX-MONTH PROGRAM FOR THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY OF A DEPLOYABLE, DOOR-MOUNTED PAD FOR ENHANCING THE PROTECTION LEVEL AFFORDED FRONT SEAT OCCUPANTS BY VEHICLES STRUCK IN THE SIDE DOOR AREA. THE CONCEPT PROPOSED FOR INVESTIGATION IS AN INFLATABLE STRUCTURE INTEGRATED INTO A PRODUCTION-CONFIGURED SMALL CAR DOOR. UPON IMPACT OF THE DOOR A STORED GAS OR ...

This SBIR Phase I proposal to FHWA requests support for Elliott Technologies, Inc. to demonstrate the feasibility of using a handheld device or a single board computer to verify a simple interface between a user and simulated Safety Warning System messages, Simulated dedicated short range communications, and simulated High accuracy nationwide differential GPS. The significance of this proposal wi ...

Manning Applied Technology proposes to develop a handheld infrared spectrometer, ideally suited to detection of airborne chemical agents at and below permissible exposure limits. This approach offers unmatched sensitivity and specificity for detection of all types of chemical vapors. The instrument is modular, rugged, compact and highly sensitive. Volume pricing will be less than $1000 each. ...

Effective collective protection fabrics must have a reliable closure system. During our Phase I Work Plan, Sigma-K began developing a Hermetic Textile Closure Hardware (HATCH) system. The HATCH combines both a magnetic and geometric self locking mechanism that will provide a hermetic seal when closed. Our current Phase I successes include developing self closing samples that can provide a hermetic ...
