The goal of this program is to develop a one-size-fits-many solution for implantable, wireless recording and stimulation with a variety of implantable electrode array types for neuroscience and neuroprosthesis research.The implants in this program will be enclosed in hermetic, ceramic packages with feed-throughs to accommodate up to 32 electrodes for each implant.The implants will be powered via i ...

Softronics Ltd. proposes a module-by-module design refresh of the emergency HF transmitter, based on system analysis and critical circuit/component testing done in Phase I. Specifically, each of the six module types will be replaced by a PCB/SMT equivalent module that is fit/function interchangeable. Obsolete and/or troublesome components will specifically be replaced, otherwise legacy circuitry w ...

In the Phase I research, our business will develop a preliminary Data Architecture, data model, and other architectural artifacts for a Big Data solution to manage Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) System of Systems and related simulation data. The prime contractor of Objective Simulation Framework (OSF) will provide BMDS subject matter expertise and knowledge of existing systems and proces ...

ABSTRACT: We will develop a multiscale molecular dynamics/material point method (MD/MPM) methodology for determining the response of PBXs to a wide range of loading conditions as a function of mesoscale structure with emphasis on accurate representation of interfacial physics. The initial material of choice will be HMX + DOA plasticized HTPB binder. Velocity-dependent grain-grain and viscoelastic ...

ABSTRACT: Elimination of the cold chain is of vital importance for the ability to treat injured warfighters in the field and behind enemy lines. The application of an already FDA approved reagent for the stabilization of labile reagents will allow for minimal development time delaying the fielding of a new technology to fill this role. Collagen has been used extensively since the 1980s as an appro ...

3DSIM will provide a solution to additive manufacturing’s lack of efficient, composable physics-based computational frameworks to predict quality and performance for arbitrary geometry, orientation, location and process parameter combinations. A new set of composable computational tools capable of accurately predicting the geometrical accuracy, residual stress and microstructure of the parts mad ...

This Phase II project will continue the prototype development of a pharmaceutical spray quality audit system. The spray quality audit system will estimate the planar mass distribution, mass flux, and drop size of pharmaceutical sprays that are used in functional coating applications and inhalers. A prototype tomography system will be designed and fabricated and evaluated using various fluorophore.

The detection of individual photons, charged particles, neutrons, and atoms and molecules is the basis of a wide range of commercial and scientific applications, including medical imaging and diagnostics, mass spectroscopy, radiation scanners, reactor monitoring, and many scientific disciplines involving imaging such as nuclear, high-energy, and astro-physics. In many of these applications the tim ...

Subscribers to U.S. broadband access networks lack choice in services. EntryPoint and the University of Utah are currently collaborating on a research project to develop and demonstrate a network framework, called SmartEdge, which focuses on creating choice in services by enabling network operators, service providers, and subscribers to coexist on the same shared network infrastructure. The purpos ...

Problem Statement: Well perforations, which have a significant impact on oil and gas production, are routinely performed in the well completion process using shaped-charge jets. Because of the complexity of the perforation process, charge designers rely on expensive experimentation and end-users (operators and service providers) of perforators rely primarily on vendor catalog data to select shaped ...
