Made In Space, Inc. (MIS) proposes an Aulë Filament Inspection System (AFIS) to provide filament quality control capability for additive manufacturing (AM). AFIS enables the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to confidently support AM efforts both internal to DLA and throughout its customer base such as the Marine Corp Advanced Manufacturing Operations Cell. To create the product quality line system, ...

In this Phase I SBIR proposal, SandBox Semiconductor™ proposes to develop an Advanced Manufacturing and Material Measurements software tool called Weave ™ for accelerating and automating SEM image analysis for the semiconductor industry. During the development of a new manufacturing process line for a semiconductor device, tens of thousands of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images are take ...

The goal of medical simulation-based training such as high-fidelity manikin simulators, part task trainers, and screen-based virtual patients, is to approximate real-life treatment experiences without risk to live patients. While the use of sensors has ma

Dizziness is a common complaint, with about one third of the population experiencing dizziness at some point in their life. Vestibular rehabilitation targets vestibular adaptation and substitution for patients with vertigo and dizziness of vestibular orig

Problem: Currently available resuscitation fluids have been shown to induce detrimental effects on trauma outcomes. Objective: The objective of this proposal is to use the data from the successful Phase 1 studies to guide the continued development and te

We propose an ambitious plan to create an open standard method of tracking the “chain of custody” of technical artifacts in a distributed ledger called CustodyChain. CustodyChain: A Blockchain of Authoritative, Tracked, Verified, and Discoverable Technical Artifacts, will facilitate the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC)’s mission to aggregate and fuse science and technology data to ...

Thegoal is to develop asoftwaretool that implementsa novelapproach applicableto fitgeneral pharmacologic, toxicology, or other biomedical data, that mayexhibita non-monotonic dose-responserelationship for which thecurrent parametricmodels fail. Thesoftwareexplores dose-responserelationships using both monotonicand non-monotonicmodels,and estimates theassociated doseresponsecurves,which can further ...

Tension pneumothorax (PTX) is the presence of air between the parietal pleural and visceral pleural, and most often occurs as a result of blunt or penetrating thoracic trauma. Left untreated, the accumulation of air in the pleural cavity shifts the medias

Vascular access is a critical and early step in the stabilization and treatment of critically injured soldiers and civilians. Traditional peripheral intravenous (PIV) access and central venous cannulation (CVC) access becomes exceedingly difficult in the

Soldiers with spinal cord injury (SCI) face a lifetime of bladder dysfunction. Although the type and character of this dysfunction depends on the severity and level of spinal injury, many of these soldiers and veterans suffer from renal insufficiency, fre
