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): 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

MANEUVER is a focused, applied research effort that combines cutting edge biological and engineering techniques to provide a basis for advanced hydrodynamic control surfaces design for unsteady conditions and includes quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the technology as related to Navy Submarines, UUVs, and surface vessels. Empirical testing on a free-swimming vehicle is necessary for maki ...

The goal of this SBIR is to develop technologies that will segregate data of various security classification levels using approved hardware and software techniques and simplify data access and usage for the sailor. This effort is designed to increase the productivity of the user by removing or automating the barriers currently involved with accessing data at different classification levels simulta ...

Intrinsix will develop an IR Digital Focal Plane Array (DFPA) enabled by high performance Sigma-Delta-Modulation (SDM) based Analog to Digital conversion (ADC). Benefits include: 1. Support for a wide range of Strained Layer Super lattice detectors a. Per frame support for two color operation (N-on-P / P-on-N) implemented using embedded CTIA integrators with a programmable reset level b. Exte ...

GVD Corporation (GVD) proposes to develop low-cost, conformal, board-level environmental coatings for phased array radar T/R module boards. These boards must survive harsh environmental conditions for long periods, such as humidity, bias, temperature cycling, and ionic contamination. Such conditions can cause delamination and migration of the boards metallic interconnects. Water absorption by the ...

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) proposes to design, fabricate, and deliver two fully operational prototype total field scalar magnetometers with size, weight, and power specifications consistent with anti-submarine warfare (ASW) applications. The Phase II development program will extend the successful Phase I laboratory proof of concept to combine optical pumping of alkali atoms with sensitive absorp ...

A boats coxswain is adept at analyzing the wave environment, adjusting the crafts propulsion system and control surfaces to mitigate its motions and reduce the chance of capsizing. There is a significant predictive component in the coxswains control decisions. Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) lack the benefit of a highly trained coxswain reading and predicting oncoming waves - existing autonomous ...
