Our goal in this SBIR project is to develop a lightweight, low-power, inexpensive hyperspectral spectro-polarimetric imaging sensor for wide area standoff detection of chemical agents. The imaging system will employ an acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) that operates in the LWIR wavelength range. The sensor will have polarimetric imaging capabilities which, adds a valuable signature feature to im ...

This effort will expand the universe of direct energy enhancers across a wider spectrum of RF parameters to produce optimal decontamination at even lower cost. During the course of the Phase II investigation proposed here, initial work will be carried out on the determination of the fundamental mechanism of decontamination of biological materials with an eye toward expanding applicability to chemi ...

Servicemembers post-concussion often suffer from dizziness, visual blurring and balance problems, similar to civilian persons with vestibular disorders. This results in slower reaction times, decreased productivity (in the form of lost duty days) and nega

The Phase I and Phase II projects that are the basis for this Phase II enhancement proposal tested the feasibility of releasing opiate compounds from a topical wound dressing for burn pain relief and treatment. This project culminated with a regulatory s

In the wake of the September 11th attacks and subsequent Anthrax scares, researchers worldwide are working to expand our ability to rapidly assess what poses a terrorism threat to the public. The rapid detection of specific pathogens is required for biod
