Scrub typhus, caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi poses a threat to U.S. forces deployed to the Asian/Australian/Pacific regions during contingency and peacekeeping operations. Development of an assay for the detection of O. tsutsugamushi that is rapid, accurate, field-usable and soldier-friendly is therefore a high priority for the DoD. In its Phase I effort, Access Bio demonstrated the feasibili ...

The first objective of Phase II is to validate the ready-to-use DNA-based dengue diagnostics kit under laboratory conditions using culture-derived dengue viruses as well as clinically confirmed dengue infected samples from different geographic origins. These prototype products will be developed for military and civilian settings which have ideal laboratory conditions. The second objective of Phase ...

This technology project aims to advance the art of aviation in reducing - by almost an order of magnitude - landing and takeoff distance for diverse aircraft. AEREON will exploit the "dynamic lift" phenomenon, emulating the technology/technique of birds. Such technology accomplishment will respond to the Phase I SBIR Topic "To Enhance the Navy's Warfighting Capabilities" (enabling very short-field ...

75085-Internal corrosion of natural gas pipelines is a leading cause of pipeline failures, leading to product losses as well as injuries and fatalities. Although in-line inspection tools are presently utilized, 30 percent of natural gas pipelines are not accessible to these tools, and internal corrosion is not detected in real time. This project will develop a wireless sensor network to detect t ...

72716-Air conditioners now on the market are very poor at controlling indoor humidity. In some buildings, high indoor humidity creates health problems and leads to the growth of mold and mildew; in other buildings, energy is wasted as the building owner overcools the indoor space to try to create comfortable conditions. A high efficiency air conditioner that also provided superior dehumidificati ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this proposal is to develop an ultrasound particle agglutination (UPA) method for determination of pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Listeria monocytogenes in body fluids, food and envi

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this proposal is to demonstrate the feasibility of a novel method for detection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody in the body fluids. The method is based on the use of ultrasound to signi

This SBIR Phase I project proposes the feasibility study of integrated all-optical 2R regeneration and 3R optical signal regeneration devices for use as high-speed interfaces in satellite applications (solicitation AF04-043). Currently available products achieve regeneration of signals by resorting to Optical to Electrical and then Electrical to optical conversion (OEO), which results in costly, ...

Currently no commercially available voltammetric electrode system exists which can operate in the water column, water/sediment interface or sediment. These electrodes need to sense a variety of electroactive species in the marine environment, which are biogeochemical relevant to understanding the Essential Fish Habitat. More importantly, these electrodes must be able to take the punishment of mu ...
