N/A

A progressive system development is proposed which uses Bayesian methodology for combined detect, track, localize, and classify. The core paradigm focuses on detection followed by various estimation schemes to extract information on contact type, track, and location from the detector. A rapid prototype development using the Generic Multipurpose Processor (GMP) will provide optimal detection ...

Establishing interferon-a as a surrogate marker of viral infection will enable the differential diagnosis of viral vs bacterial infections. Such information will be critical to subsequent treatments. The current proposal is designed to evaluate CytImmune Science's patent pending technology for cytokine measurement in biological fluids. The technology overcomes the presence of cytokine binding p ...

This program would build upon recently completed work sponsored by DARPA and carried out by the team of Pratt & Whitney (P&W), Lucent Technologies (AT&T prior to 1/1/96), with Hood Technologies and Summit Applied Research as small business subcontractors. That work demonstrated the feasibility of using active control techniques to reduce resonant forced vibration levels in gas turbine rotor bl ...

A concept design will be performed to allow the conversion of a 160-foot Athena Class Gunboat (PG) to a HYSWAS hull form. This work will be performed by the same team of personnel who designed and built the 27-foot HYSWAS demostration vessel QUEST under an earlier Phase II SBIR. The proposed design will provide high endurance, speeds above 40 knots in sea state 5, a large payload fraction a ...

The Navy has expressed a need for an ultrafiltration or direct osmosis concentration (DOC) system that can 1) concentrate shipboard graywater/secondary oily waste to at least 95%, 2) reject 95% of the heavy metals, and 3) produce an effluent with BOD levels less than 30 ppm. In response to that need, Osmotek proposes to develop a DOC system that shows exceptional fouling resistance, will have meta ...

N/A

Antijam protection for GPS receivers can be provided in a cost-effective way by restricting the antenna reception to the upper hemisphere only, thereby eliminating the majority of intentional and unintentional jamming sources in either a war- fighting context or terrorist attack scenario. Competing schemes using null- steering antennas or receiver/processor improvements are not cost effective and ...

The purpose of this proposed SBIR Phase I effort is to evaluate the technical and economic potential for Active Matrix Electrouminescent (AMEL) display technology in miliatry and commercial applications. This work will focus on evaluating the potential for high resolution miniature Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs) and larger active area displays for Persona Digitial lAssistant (PDA) applications. Th ...
