Research conducted in Phase I identified a range of data sources providing vehicle related information to consumers shopping around or interested in knowing more about vehicles. Majority of the commercial data sources focused on vehicle features, new/used/CPO pricing, and vehicles listings. Such data sources lacked safety as their central focus, which is a concern for U.S. Department of Transporta ...

There are over 123 UH-1Y aircraft in service today, each equipped with five internal fuel cells, with an average cost of $15k per fuel cell. The current supply chain for UH-1Y fuel cells is not able to meet delivery nor quality requirements, which has resulted in a significant force readiness issue. With this SBIR Phase II proposal, Response Technologies (RT) aims to: 1) “Phase I Qualify” a co ...

Response Technologies will attempt to build H-60 fuel cell prototypes and qualify to a portion of MIL-DTL-27422F’s Phase II performance testing criteria [Class B – Semi rigid or self-supporting fuel construction, Type I – Self-sealing, and Protection Level C – Full self-sealing against 50 caliber and partial self-sealing against 14.5 mm] . Response Technologies uses an additive manufacturi ...

Sweat contains biomarkers that give an indication of human cognitive levels. In this SBIR project TDA Research is developing a modular sweat sensor patch that has the capability to not only carry out real-time monitoring of select biomarkers, but also to

Currently, deployed medics are required to transport, maintain and be resupplied with liquid-based medications and materials that are heavy, expensive to transport, perishable and may require refrigeration. Many medications and materials are or will soon

The DoD uses flexible fuel bladders in multiple air, ground, and sea vehicles because they: 1) easily fit into almost any space, 2) are corrosion resistant, and can often be self-sealing and explosion resistant, 3) allow for customized placement of fittings and connection points, and 4) these flexible tanks can collapse as they empty, thereby reducing the need for venting and minimizing sloshing a ...

We propose to take our binaural OtoStat-HCP hearing-test system, which was designed for advanced hearing-conservation programs (HCPs), and ruggedize it for use in theater. OtoStat-HCP includes pure-tone audiometry, otoacoustic emission (OAE), and wideband immittance tests. Commercial-off-the-shelf OAE systems are unsuitable for HCPs, so we will: 1) implement next-generation OAE tests to enable qua ...

ADA Technologies, Inc. (ADA) in partnership with Laser Marks, a laser systems integrator, has designed, developed (Phase I) and will fabricate a low-cost, automated, high-speed/high-throughput Li-ion electrode cutter capable of producing high quality electrodes in an additive manufacturing environment. Utilizing the latest in laser technology and scanning systems coupled with innovative design and ...

TDA, working with our collaborators, proposes to develop a novel RF heating process for rewarming cryogenically preserved tissues and organs.We have demonstrated high heating rates with the nanoparticles during the Phase I project. In the Phase II project, we will improve our already high heating rate by optimizing the RF heating process, along with the type, size and morphology of the nanoparticl ...

THE PURPOSE OF THIS RESEARCH IS TO STUDY THE FEASIBILITY OF QUANTIFYING THE EFFECTS OF IREASED AUTOMATION ON THE WORKLOAD AND PERFORMANCE OF THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRA-TION'S AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER. IN PHASE I, RESEARCH WILL FOCUS ON ADAPTRING OUR CURRENT HUMAN PERFORMANCE MODEL TO REPRESENT THE JOB CHARACTERISTICS OR ATTRIBUTES THAT WILL DETERMINE LEVELS OF WORKLOAD AND PERFORMANCE IN THE AD ...
