In this effort, Physical Sciences Inc. will develop and implement algorithms and hardware to perform the fusion of information obtained from multiple LWIR passive hyperspectral sensors to provide the capability to determine the extent, absolute geo-location, and 3-D concentration distribution of chemical threat clouds from mobile platforms. The effort will be conducted in conjunction with Professo ...

This proposal describes the development of aircraft simulation and modeling analysis system for predicting the degradation of aircraft structures due to corrosion. This will be achieved by extending the existing ACES software product developed by GCAS under Army contract to NAVAIR aircraft structures, materials and corrosion failure modes. This includes identifying and modeling the detailed failur ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Electrochemical Home Monitoring System for Lithium Blood Level Lithium in the form of lithium carbonate is an important pharmacological treatment option in bipolar disorder (BD) and other conditions. However, lithium has a narrow therapeutic treatment range and its use requires careful monitoring of a patient's lithium blood level, particularly during the ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Disorders of iron metabolism are among the most common human diseases. During the last decade, rapid progress has been made in the understanding of the molecular basis or iron homeostasis and its disorders. The peptidehormone hepcidin has emerged as the master regulator of iron metabolism. Dysregulation of hepcidin is the principal or contributing factor in mos ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Patients are frequently hospitalized for management of uncontrolled seizures due to epilepsy or acute neurological insults such as trauma, stroke, infections, and a number of toxic and metabolic disorders. However, inpatient management of seizures is complicated by the fact that they occur intermittently and unpredictably, and thus it is not infrequent that pat ...

Toyon Research Corporation proposes a multiple-aperture coherently combined distributed-aperture-system prototype at X-band. This multi-aperture system will use our MIMO signal combining technology, our Closed-Loop Coherent Subarray Phase Tracker design, and our Reconfigurable X-band Array designed during Phase I. Toyon’s unique reconfigurable antenna technology allows the beam from each apertur ...

The purpose of this project is to develop new language training methods that help guard against language skill decay, and help recover from skill decay when it has occurred. It leverages previous DoD and ONR investments in language learning technology, but it focuses squarely on the language attrition problem. In addition to providing language training that is resistant to decay, it pays particula ...

Modern real-time systems have become evolved to complex systems comprised of an complex orchestra of distributed applications. Access to data from members of dissimilar and distributed applications is difficult but required to understand state, manage, and dynamically adapt. These modern systems expand capabilities but add burden to operate, maintain, and analyzecounter to the need to reduce costs ...

Real-Time Innovations (RTI) proposes to build a new architecture for non-intrusive instrumentation for distributed real-time systems. With this design, developers will directly see and record key internal application data, dynamically monitor network and process statistics, and analyze system operational performance all in real time. We will support direct code instrumentation, run-time patching, ...

A major threat to U.S. personnel stationed abroad are high levels of toxins that may be present in the local food supply as a result of unregulated pesticide use and the prevalence of toxic industrial chemicals and heavy metals in the environment.Rapid analytical methods are needed that are capable of identifying these threats in food at levels that exceed military exposure guidelines.Triton Syste ...
