Award Data

Our biosensor is made of silicon nanowire arrays functionalized with antibodies to measure the concentration of specific proteins. In this grant we will take a sensor that has been demonstrated for use in measuring a set of generic host cell proteins and we will apply the sensor to measure a set of proteins for a specific cell line. In doing so, we will demonstrate the utility of our sensor to be ...

This project will develop a new scientific instrument optimized for the advanced characterization of near-infrared fluorescent nanoparticles that can exist as left- or right-handed structures (enantiomers). Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are the leading current example of such nanomaterials. Applied NanoFluorescence, LLC (ANF) proposes a novel multi-mode chiroptical spectrometer that can ...

Modern Model-Based Enterprise / Engineering (MBE) systems rely on freeform surfaces built as complex combinations of geometric primitives to define engineered objects. Unfortunately, the intersection of freeform surfaces in MBE applications results in highly approximated solutions, degrading models that cost billions annually by US industry to fix. Current technology limits the abilities of users ...

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

A proof-of-concept research on Intelligent Patient Platform is proposed with the goal to improve healthcare training experience by adding natural language capability to patient simulators by leveraging the latest artificial intelligent technologies so tha

The proposed MIDI (Medical Informatics over a Distributed Infrastructure) system will provide comprehensive, efficient, easy to use, and easily deployed communication solutions for Military Healthcare Systems (MHS) in a broad range of environments. We lev

Nanohmics proposes to develop a radically new type of general water toxicity monitor based on the widely published principle that many eukaryotic (including yeast) cell lysosomes swell and increase in numbers in response to pollutants in water within 30-6

Ensuring military field water supplies are safe for human consumption is of critical importance to the United States Armed Forces. However, despite the need to routinely monitor water supplies the availability of field-ready tests is limited. In 2019 the
