Applied Radar Inc. proposes the development of active MMIC-based circulators in order to achieve high isolation between transmit and receive paths for simultaneous transmit and receive (STAR) phased-array radar system architectures. This technology will enable increased persistence in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) systems and allow multiple simultaneous radar modes including ...

This SBIR proposal consists of three (3) related research efforts. Research effort 1 will focus on further development of the configurable running gear / shape shifting track concept as started by ASI during the Phase I award. Research effort 2 will focus on the development and completion of the hardware and electronics systems of the T4 robot as started at the Center for Self Organizing and Int ...

High energy density battery will be developed by combining metallic sodium anode with an air cathode. The proposed sodium-air battery is expected to dominate the performance of lithium-air battery. This battery technology is based on sodium conducting solid-electrolyte developed at Ceramatec Inc. The sodium conducting solid-electrolyte has conductivity in the range of 10-2 S/cm at ambient tempera ...

Stockpiles of weapons with composite rocket motors have been expensive to acquire. In the fortunate occurrence that these weapons are not used, they are too expensive to discard based upon simple expiration dates. However, use of these weapons can be dangerous if their integrity is compromised due to aging and deterioration. CogniTech proposes to build a software suite containing a graphical ...

Massive blood loss is the most common cause of death in potentially survivable battlefield casualties, yet no definitive medical innovations have been made for reducing these deaths in the past several decades. It is still highly impractical to carry large volumes of refrigerated blood into battle, and substantial research for developing blood substitutes and extending the durability and portabili ...

This solicitation calls for research and exploration on approaches to find solutions to high power W-band amplifiers for use in directed energy (DE) weapons that are more affordable and compact and have additional desirable features including low standby power and instant-on capabilities and are, for example, HUMVEE field friendly. In addition the ability to produce such amplifiers in relatively ...

For ten years, the interdisciplinary team of the Center for the Representation of Multi-Dimensional Information (CROMDI) at the University of Utah has successfully worked on problems in Medicine, Finance, and Networking to transform experts' heuristic knowledge into quantitative displays that improve decision making with respect to existing displays. The team has researched and developed visualiz ...

The goal of this program is to produce a small disposable forehead patch for quickly detecting non-convulsive seizures in an unconscious patient. The patch device will include a small coin battery, surface electrodes, EEG processing electronics, and LED indicators. The patch is activated by removing the adhesive backing tab, and once applied it will display seizure status for several hours as th ...

The goal of this program is to use Blind Source Separation (BSS) signal processing techniques to create a novel multi-axis controller for prosthetic limbs based on surface EMG electrode array recordings.

Current computed tomography (CT) techniques for nondestructive testing (NDT) of munitions and other non-medical specimens often produce inferior imagery due to artifacts, impairing detection, identification, and measurement of anomalies. In this Phase II, JDLL generalizes its Phase I artifact-reducing CT algorithms to 3D cone-beam configurations, testing these algorithms against real data, perman ...
