The Software Communications Architecture (SCA) 4.1 is emerging as the worldwide standard for tactical software-defined radio waveform development. The lack of automated test tools targeted to the SCA is a limiting factor in the certification cycle, resulting in longer turnaround times at JTEL, which, in turn, jeopardizes the timely introduction of required waveforms and upgrades. Due to the scope ...

No currently available burn product has shown efficacy in substantially decreasing wound healing time and preventing scar formation. The goals of this Phase II proposal are to expand on the results obtained in the Phase I study that showed that (1) halofuginone inhibited collagen-mediated contracture in dermal fibroblasts and (2) the presence of the keratin in the KeraStat burn product results in ...

PROJECT SUMMARY: This R44 supplement application is focused on the development of a comprehensive publication strategy to meet the company’s long-standing goal of disseminating its findings to the scientific community. The proposed work is designed to create a long term publication plan for the company which will include the writing and publishing of (2) manuscripts during the project term. The ...

The Phase II Technical Objectives align with the project goals of developing an outdoor device for spatial protection in a defined, limited outdoor area. While existing work has proven out technology which is effective in indoor areas, the work has not b

Blood in thechestcavity (hemothorax) as a result of injury remains a common and seriouschallengein military and civilian trauma management. The primary treatment of hemothoraxrequires a tubeto beinserted into the pleural space around thelung. Unfortunately, in about20% of thecases,significant amounts of blood,clot, and fibrin remain after initial drainage.Left untreated, thiscan lead to a permanen ...

VitaMe Technologies Inc. (doing business as “VitaScan”) and Cornell University will develop the “Iron.Scan” - a point-of-care system for iron deficiency and anemia diagnosis in about 10 minutes from a finger stick of blood. The system comprises of (1) an

ABSTRACT Improving Anticoagulation Monitoring in Pediatric Patients: Use of a Microfluidic Platform to Test Low Volume Blood Samples Obtained by Heel-Stick Collection Children treated for congenital heart defects or other disorders of hypercoagulation are prescribed unfractionated heparin (UFH) or low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) throughout surgical treatment; they may be prescribed heparin for ...

In the Phase I period, Sentient upgraded its DigitalClone for Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology and successfully demonstrated and validated its ldquo;Process modelrdquo; and ldquo;Microstructure modelrdquo; for simulating metal AM processes. Sentient has partnered with University of Nebraska ndash; Lincoln for model validation.Specifically, Sentient has implemented a new ldquo;Process modelrd ...

This proposal addresses, for the first time, the demonstration of integrated mid-infrared sources based on waveguiding in a bonded solid-state laser material and periodically poled nonlinear material. A focused femtosecond laser beam allows for precisely localized modification of the refractive index of a material, therefore enabling to create waveguiding structures. The offeror has demonstrated f ...
