The overall abjective of this proposed project is the development of detailed definitions for the interfaces defined by the ABBET architecture. Signal models wil developed based upon the C/ATLAS set of signal nouns. A Test Foundation Framework (TFF) will be implemented to demonstrate the ability of test program or test program component transfer across multiple test platforms. This phase also w ...

This SBIR project proposes to develop a computational tool for fan broadband noise prediction based on a large-eddy-simulation (LES) approach. The proposed approach combines the advantages of those existing high-fidelity methods in literature for simulation of NASA 22-in fan noise source diagnostic test (SDT), i.e., the LES with the WALE SGS model for turbulence simulation and modeling, and the Ca ...

Project Abstract The goal of this Phase I SBIR is to develop a new platform that enables dehydrogenases to be used as enzymes in amperometric biosensors. Regardless of the platform or measurement modality, all biosensor designs require the use of an enzyme to properly function. Biosensors are devices that measure compounds important for human health. FDA approval has already been achieved for ampe ...

ABSTRACT Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is characterized by a disorganized activation of the atrium leading to impaired cardiac function and more serious complications like embolic stroke, worsening heart failure, and increased mortality. AE affects 9% of the U.S. population (2% younger than 65) and contributes to 750,000 hospitalizations and 130,000 deaths per year. There is a clear unmet clinical need ...

A novel approach to adapt agile manufacturing of limited production swarming unmanned systems (UxS) to support humanitarian assistance and disaster relief is proposed based on the contractors considerable commercial unmanned system expertise.

Silver-zinc rechargeable batteries are widely accepted as they offers 40% more runtime over lithium-ion batteries and 95% of their primary elements can be recycled and reused. However, these batteries need to achieve a further level of improvement with better cycle life and wider temperature range for large scale commercial acceptance. In this Navy SBIR program, Material and Electrochemical Resear ...

There is an acute need for lightweight, articulating elbow and knee ballistic systems that provide protection against NIJ Level II threat projectiles. The goal of this SBIR Phase II program is to continue development and optimization of an innovative lightweight, articulating elbow and knee protection system that is capable of meeting current Level II protection requirements. The design success w ...

Through a partnership with the University of Kansas, ZenoLeap LLC proposes to exploit research and development of uncooled quantum infrared detectors for imaging based on our recent breakthroughs in demonstration of novel quantum dots/graphene nanohybrids photodetectors with uncooled detectivity D* up to ~1.0x1013 cm?Hz1/2/W in short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectrum. Nanohybrids have recently emerged ...

THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF THE USE OF ADVANCED TYPE II FLUIDS FOR THE DE-ICING/ANTI-ICING OF GENERAL AVIATION (GA) AIRCRAFT WITH TAKEOFF SAFETY SPEEDS (V2) OF GENERALLY LESS THAN 85 KNOTS. TYPE II FLUIDS WILL BE APPLIED TO SEVERAL GA CATEGORY AIRCRAFT. THE ICE PROTECTION CAPABILITY OF THE FLUID WILL BE EVALUATED FOR DIFFERENT FREEZING PRECIPITATION CONDITIONS. THE EFFEC ...
