The widespread use of communication devices and radar systems has made our society increasingly vulnerable to disruptive, high-power, short pulse electromagnetic interference (EMI) and high power microwaves (HPM). Significant advances in devices that produce these high-power, short pulses have been made in the US and abroad in the past few decades. As a result, the need for devices that can prot ...

Accurate Automation Corporation’s main objective of the SENTINEL SYSTEM is to provide a 24/7 presence on the water without putting valuable human resources in harm’s way. Capable of being controlled remotely or configured for autonomous operation, the SENTINEL SYSTEM is an attractive solution to a range of marine applications. The SENTINEL can interdict threats in the maritime and littoral ...

Accurate Automation Corporation (AAC) will address the integral operation of a USV with multiple UAVs. Such a system leverages the advantages of both platforms while compensating for the limitations of each. The USV provides range and endurance, deploying the UAVs across a long distance or after long periods on station. The USV also provides sensor coverage of the underwater environment, of whi ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this project is to develop the technology needed to produce accurate, low-cost physical models of proteins and other molecular structures by an injection molding approach. Two different technical innovations are required to make this possible. First, new software will be created to allow the unfolding of the complex geometry of a protein into a col ...

Combining AED Corp. and its multi-disciplinary team's extensive and unique heavy fuel engine (HFE) hardware development experience with commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) diesel engine components, a concept diesel engine demonstrator (CDED) will be designed. Configured to facilitate dyno test exploration of power density, heat rejection, and fuel efficiency, the lubrication, cooling, and supercharger ...

Ready-to-eat meat or poultry products that undergo further handling after cooking (e.g. peeling or slicing) show the highest prevalence of Listeria monocytogenes (one to ten percent). Though rare, listeriosis is responsible for 20 to 30 percent of foodborne disease-related deaths. Therefore, the industry has adopted, among other methods, post-packaging pasteurization to control Listeria monocytoge ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In modern medicine and science there is a growing need for the ability to profile composition of such bodily fluids as serum and saliva. Microarray chip technology has potential for delivering such ability. This technology has already changed pharmaceutical research. So far, however, this technology has not been used extensively in protein-focused studies. The ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Antibody-based detection systems have been used for years in clinical diagnostics and environmental monitoring for the detection and identification of pathogenic agents. Recent advances in the field of low-level antigen detection utilize the DNA polymerase-mediated signal amplification approach that provides a substantial enhancement in detection sensitivity ov ...
