Daxor proposes an automated, ruggedized, portable system for calculating blood, red cell, and plasma volumes, based on a comprehensive adaptation and reengineering of the current gold standard for volume measurement, the Daxor BVA-100. Significant improvements in portability (size, weight, and battery operation), logistics, speed, and ease of use are achieved. Whole blood is sampled directly from ...

To respond to ever-evolving enemy tactics, realistic, effective training is needed in the operational environment. The Army has, and is currently developing, numerous computer-based resources to support scenario-based training at the point of need. To support the personnel who use these training systems, a content management system is needed. Further, recommendations for training, and adaptively c ...

Lithium metal represents the ultimate anode material due to its high energy density (3860 mAh/g), however, dendrite growth during charge has been essentially preventing its wide application in rechargeable batteries. LiBAMA's bi-functional advanced metal anode (AMA) represents the world's first innovation evolved out of numerous failed and on-going efforts with solid electrolytes, lithium protecti ...

With tissue engineering science offering promising biomedical interventions for previously untreatable injuries or diseases, many researchers are investigating the use of nanofiber-based medical vehicles for regenerative medicine. The challenge is to produce such vehicles outside of a small-scale laboratory environment and to develop a GMP-compliant lab to fabricate medical-grade devices for use i ...

Accurate Automation Corporation proposes an innovative application of virtualization tools to complex information systems, especially the Joint Multi-mission Protection System (JUMPS). The program includes three parts. 1. A plan will be developed and implemented to facilitate the operation and to manage the growth of the JUMPS. This plan will leverage Virtual Machines (VMs), which abstract appli ...

Accurate Automation Corporation proposes to develop a system for a self-contained missile launchable RF Generator based on a frozen wave transmission line technique. The RF transmission line will be charged through an optically activated switch fabricated from silicon carbide. A high energy pulsed laser with an electronic timing control will connect to the switch via an optical fiber. A high volta ...

In the Phase II effort, GTL will build upon the foundation provided by the Phase I effort to develop a family of SMFB products that can be used by thermoplastic matrix composite (TPMC) developers and manufacturers to efficiently and affordably fuse TPMC components together. The effort will seek to develop several variants of the products that are compatible with popular thermoplastic composites. ...

The software system, Sensor Atom Configuration Software (SACS), will use of knowledge management techniques through ontologies capturing knowledge about sensor atoms and 3D targets, advance algorithm design, and concept of operations to allow for flexible sensor system design and predict sensor performance. Sensor atoms are the fundamental unit of a sensor embodying the most basic properties in te ...

Accurate Automation Corporation (AAC) will deliver a Virtual Machine (VM) solution to the U.S. Army, leveraging the advantages of this technology to meet the unique needs of this information-centric, warfighting organization. AAC will consolidate an existing set of server applications, migrating the system to more practical hardware while maintaining all system functions. Advanced VM capabilities ...

In the last decade, researchers have investigated nanofiber based medical vehicles for various biomedical applications. The challenge is to produce nanofiber vehicles outside laboratory environment for clinical trial. This proposed effort is targeted at developing a cGMP compliant prototype process to demonstrate manufacturing of tissue scaffold. During PhaseI, an innovative scaffold will be made ...
