Electrodynmaics Associates, Inc. has under development a 50 kW 10000 RPM electric propulsion motor and controller. The Phase I activity is in progress, and the electromagnetic analysis, structural analysis as well as thermal analysis of the motor is completed indicating satisfactory operation at the rated load continuously, and 5 minute operation at 100 kW load. In addition 350% of the nominal tor ...

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 ...

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 ...

Quantitative estimation of blood loss in wounded battlefield casualties must be promptly transmitted to medics for corrective actions. Yet heart rate and blood pressure measures are often inadequate, and the more accurate invasive measures of stroke volume as well as derived measures from the ventricular volume curve (obtained with echo-Doppler) cannot be employed logistically. Real-time, battle ...

Sarcos Research Corporation proposes the development of a miniature, disposable, embedded computer-controlled IV infusion pump for administration of drugs during casualty treatment, stabilization and transport on the battlefield. The pump will be based on the Company's proprietary design concepts that enable pumps that are accurate, power efficient, small size, light weight, rugged, and can opera ...

A hybrid power system for military vehicles, consisting of a battery status controlled generator for charging and a battery/capacitor hybrid is proposed. The components of the system are controlled by identical MEMS based integrated smart controllers which are integral parts of the battery/capacitor/generator system and communicate wireless with each other, with the dashboard and with maintenance ...

After the successful demonstration of our Phase I approach, we propose to develop in Phase II a multispecific biowarfare electrochemical sensor for simultaneous detection of 5 toxins and 2 biothreat bacteria (anthrax spores, tularemia bacteria, botulinum toxin A, cholera toxin, staphylococcal enterotoxin B, Shiga toxin and ricin toxin). The sensor will utilize electrochemical aptamer-mediated prot ...

This SBIR Phase I program is directed at developing and testing a feature-based system that exploits Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) technology to fuse data for several battlefield sensors. The sensor-fused system will accept feature vectors extracted from different sensor images and output a target identification decision with a high probability of correct identification. The EA approach represents ...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of combat casualty. Previous estimates for 20th century conflicts were that 15 - 25% of all injuries were sustained to the head. However, with the increased incidence of blast injuries that military personnel are suffering in the current conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, head injury is becoming an even more frequent occurrence. Far forward medics ...

Sarcos Research Corporation proposes to develop a high performance, ActiveShoulderTM military prosthetic system that will enable integration of upper extremity prostheses for performing, to the maximum extent possible, the basic functions of a natural arm. ActiveShoulderTM will be designed for an anatomical range of motions and physiological loads, permitting functional performance exceeding that ...
