The overall goal of this program is to build a compact, lightweight, portable laboratory kit that can be used to analyze chemistries, cell counts, parasites, bacteria, and other pathogens in blood, urine, and body fluids. Our proposed Portable Micro-Lab(PML) kit will be composed of two sub-systems:1) Environmentally stable microdot test strips smaller than a stick of chewing gum and containing th ...

Multilayer chemical protective gloves that provide 24 hours of protection against chemical warfare agents while being more resistant to petroleum oils and flames than the currently used butyl rubber gloves will be developed. This will be achieved usingaqueous nanocomposite elastomeric coatings specially formulated for use in newly designed multilayer gloves. In phase 1, InMat demonstrated that a f ...

The Phase II effort builds on Phase I. Phase II starts with an integrated product and process design and engineering analysis of the baseline structure described in the Phase I report and variants that may reduce cost and risk. The emphasis is on use ofnonlinear FEA with continuum analysis to handle stiffeners, window frames, and connectors. After review and approval by SOCOM, the design is fab ...

Policell Technologies Inc. proposes 6 month research effort to demonstrate the feasibility of replacing the lithium BA-5590 with a rechargeable battery. It is proposed to design and develop basic pouch lithium-ion cells that are suitable for assembly ofBA-5590 battery and deliver some basic pouch cells to SOCOM by the end of the Phase I program. The battery system will be based on Policell Technol ...

Semorex has carried out a successful Phase I project which demonstrates the potential of Molecularly Imprinted Polymer (MIP) technology to solve the critical problem of improving organophosphate (OP) detection. MIPs, plastic polymers with specificmolecular binding sites molded into them, combine the selectivity of antibodies with the robustness of polymers.Prior to and as part of Phase I, Semorex ...

An electrostatic precipitation-based aerosol collector will be designed, constructed, tested, and fine-tuned with the aim of demonstrating the practicality of a low-power system capable of sampling air at a rate of >500 liters/minute and collectingtherefrom >80% of particles 1-10 microns in size into a small volume [

Chemical imaging sensors require focal plane arrays (FPAs) incorporating long wavelength infrared (LWIR) detectors suitable for hyperspectral detection. These detectors require high sensitivity to account for the low photon counts in narrow wavelength bands. The required sensitivity elevates the associated costs, so a need exists for a lower cost LWIR FPA for use with chemical imaging sensors. The ...

A small size, weight, and power visible/Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) camera system will be developed to be inserted in a 40mm grenade to enable visual guidance.This 320x256 on 8 m pitch InGaAs imaging system will be able to image light from 0.4 to 1.7 m enabling the precision engagement of targets during the day and night as well as in fog and through smoke using the advantages of SWIR imaging.The i ...

CDJ Technologies is an additive manufacturing (AM) company with technology that enables rapid printing over large build volumes. Thisresultant production throughput is differentiating within the AM technology space and enables the adoption of AM technology to addresslimited production-runs. There exist many items where the ability to customize a single component of a system can add substantial val ...
