This SBIR proposal addresses a high priority DoD need for an improved man-portable magnetic sensor to detect and localize mines and UneXploded Ordnance (UXO). UXO field testing has clearly shown the superiority of magnetic-based technology over other technologies such as ground penetrating radar and infrared sensors. Total field magnetometers and gradiometers, although relatively unaffected b ...

Sheet metal products have made an indispensable place for themselves in our day to day lives. Light weight, good surface finish, low finished product cost, and relatively good formability are just few of the many features that make the sheet metal products so attractive. This includes all the product lines such as automotive, aerospace, appliance, construction, instruments, heating and ventilati ...

"We propose to take a structure, comprehensive, and multi-dimensional look at issues related to cognition, adaptive thinking, and performance under various environmental stressors. More particularly, we will investigate how these constellation of factorsapply to junior leadership performance and actual and potential growth, and how the results of this research can improve skills and leadership tr ...

The trend toward replacement of highly toxic chemicals with less hazardous alternatives has created the demand for replacement of chromate conversion coatings for corrosion protection of aluminum alloys. Aluminum alloys are the predominate structural material used in aircraft because of their high strength-to-weight ratios, affordability and processability. Aluminum is subject to catastrophic fail ...

Current angular multiplexed holographic memory systems are facing obstacles in the area of dynamic control of two dimensional page oriented data. In order to massively store high density two-dimensional images and access all these stored images in a very short time without any moving parts, an innovative page-addressing delfector is required. Existing page-addressing deflectors requires a moving ...

Continuing advances in computer networking, distributed computing, and the standardization and exchange of medical information make it possible for clinicians to retrieve increasing amounts of patient data on-line. However, accessing upwards of hundredsof pages of data for each patient can overwhelm the clinician who may have just a few minutes before and during each 15 or 20-minute patient visit ...

"There is an acute need to rapidly detect cancer markers and help diagnose cancer at the earliest stage possible. The objective of this Phase I proposal is to demonstrate the feasibility of developing a simple point-of-care diagnostic tool for the detectionof cancer markers. Early diagnosis of prostate, ovarian, breast and other cancers will allow the physician to intervene earlier in the cancer ...
