This Phase II effort is to develop and test prototype custom oxygen mask designs and fabrication processes. The developed masks will be produced initially as upgrades to existing oxygen masks such as the Gentex MBU-23/p and in the future be issued to pilots directly. Improvements will be evaluated for improved mask discipline. Oceanit shall deliver prototype custom masks and demonstrate custom mas ...

Oceanit proposes to develop a miniature oriented fluxgate magnetometer similar to the AN/ASQ-10 for use across multiple operational platforms with focus on unmanned vehicles in a maritime environment.

Project Summary/AbstractThe NIH/NIAID 2017 Strategic Plan is specifically directed at promoting research that can provide solutions to mitigate the threat posed by emerging and re-emerging diseases. The tick-borne flavivirus (TBFV) group includes a number of important human pathogens that result in serious neurological or hemorrhagic diseases that are either Category B or C priority pathogens. The ...

The Bottom Feeder project is designed to prove out the research done in Phase I using a prototype platform. The prototype will be a full size version of the platform designed during Phase I. The Phase I platform was designed to work in two operational configurations, a highly efficient mode and a highly maneuverable mode, with the ability to switch between them while submerged. The platform is equ ...

Oceanit developed a Personal Cooling System (PCS) for extracting body heat for personnel working in extreme environments. Oceanit’s cooling technology is based on physiological ability of body to lose heat in response to environmental conditions. Oceanit leverage decades of experience in developing products around human centric design process for advancing ‘Supercool Vest’ technology.

Makai Ocean Engineering, Inc. proposes to address thermal management performance shortfalls for 6th generation air platforms by developing a novel heat exchanger technology. Specifically, Makai will develop an ultra-compact thin-foil heat exchanger (TFHX) for air-cooled, two-phase vapor cycle systems. The TFHX will provide at least a 50% improvement in volumetric performance, pressure drops of les ...

Cementing is an integral part of well construction, providing the seal, protection, and support for the casing to maintain barriers that isolate the well.Wells can experience integrity failure due to structural instability in cemented regions due to subsidence and compaction caused by reservoir depletion over the lifetime of the well.Increased knowledge of cement placement, integrity, and conditio ...

As a new generation of Airmen enter the war-fighting space, their expectations for how technology should support them with accomplishing their missions and the actual technology that is made available to them has never been further apart. To address this problem, the velocity and culture in which technology is adopted and put in the hands of Airmen needs to change. Utilizing an approach that lever ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this project represents a major paradigm shift in the methodology by which waterways can be maintained for optimum usage and water quality. Instead of the status quo in which water quality is only periodically tested and sediment buildups are only removed in massive quantities that can shock sensitive aquatic ecosystems, the system under development offer ...

Service members are exposed to high noise environments on a daily basis. Aviation, mechanized, light and armored units are all exposed to environments well in excess of the permissible noise levels. In aviation alone, flight crews spend a majority of thei
