Category theory has recently been successfully applied to translate information from one computer system to another. Researchers at MIT have developed a prototype software tool based on category theory for solving information-integration programs. The tool has successfully solved small-scale information-integration problems including a problem identified by NIST about enriching the manufacturing s ...

For this Phase I SBIR proposal, Vcom3D proposes to design an Advanced Female Trauma Training System that features the accurate representation of anatomical and physiological differences of the women in our nations armed forces, and of the types of injuries that they are most likely to sustain in combat. The training system will include a ruggedized medical manikin and a wireless tablet controller ...

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

Conventional cyber-analysis is a manual process that is often ineffective. Major obstacles to improvement include the massive size of the cyber-threat, the associated volumes of cyber event data, and the lack of skilled analysts. The emerging markets of threat intelligence providers and threat intelligence gateways that enable near real-time awareness have improved productivity by an order of ma ...

Human Systems Integration, Inc., a leading developer of Wearable Electronics products and solutions, will design and develop a Navigation and Situational Awareness system for the First Responder Environment (NavSAFE) that will enable persistent navigation and tracking of responders in indoor and GPS-denied environments. Our TacPAN system, provides the ideal platform for the integration of the mult ...

We hypothesize that a combination of advanced insulating fabrics and a cooling method (gas-operated) can be integrated into a portable, light-weight device for field/en route controlled limb cooling. We aim to fabricate a prototype portable device for li

DHS CISA NRMC identified a problem relating to application of big data and advanced-research models. Specifically, the Advanced Circulation surge model is too computationally intensive, rendering ensemble forecasts too slow for usefulness. The ATS solution will resolve this challenge of intense, highly parallel computational workloads with big datasets, will allow the higher resolution ADCIRC ense ...

Soldiers displaying symptoms of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) need accurate, timely, in-theater assessment of symptoms. Often, initial assessment and diagnosis must be conducted by first-level responders who attempt to assess vestibular symptoms directly following a concussive event; however, these symptoms are often missed, not adequately evaluated, or misdiagnosed due to a lack of familiari ...

Incidences of infectious disease pose serious threats to armed forces worldwide, risking the success of critical operations and the deaths of Warfighters. Approaches exist to reduce severity of disease impact to operational forces by detecting, monitoring, and treating infected personnel after exposure, but this does not effectively maintain and sustain force health. Force medical personnel need s ...
