The proposed SBIR Phase II effort to develop a Personal Health and Fitness Wizard (PHFW) will, within the first year, year a fully functional Internet-based site the provides individual users with easily accessible, tailored guidance concerning theirpersonal health and fitness. The PHFW will to beyond simply providing health and fitness advice: it will function as a

Digital Traffic Systems, Inc. has previously developed and sells commercially an Intelligent Camera System that interprets video images of the road traffic and computes traffic parameters including: Queue Length (Vehicle count), Flow Speed (miles per hour), Density (vehicles per mile), volume (vehicles per hour), Lane Occupancy (percent of lance occupied) and Headway (average distance| feet betwe ...

Certain weapons produce blast waves capable of trauma to gas-filled organs. There is an immediate need for a blast mitigation jacket to prevent lung damage when training with such weapons, and a similar need for combatants. Our first objective in PhaseII is to complete the research and development of fundamental blast mitigation concepts developed during Phase I. During Phase I, we used analyti ...

The public awareness of recent auto fatalities has brought to the forefront the danger associated with tread separation tire failures. Current tires and vehicles do not have a means of warning the operator of imminent tire failure. If a system were implemented to provide such a warning to the operator, action could be taken to prevent a potentially disastrous accident. A design team led by Luna ...

FSCX will develop a methodology and system design that will lead to a Phase II SBIR prototype, which will provide automated, decision support products to improve collective performance in training and real world operations. The prototype will improveindividual and collective understanding in information intensive, digital environments. FSCX calls this prototype SpectoAgnito, a coined term meanin ...

The goal is to produce an electronic programmable disabled or Handicapped Placard, which cannot be forged, altered or compromised to insure credibility in the program.The final placard will be designed to enable law enforcement and parking enforcement to observe from a distance, if the placard is valid. By use of LEDs, one facing the front, one facing the rear, it permits and easy and quick visua ...

It was once observed that weather and terrain have a greater impact on battles than any other physical factor - including weapons. The DOD goal of

IOS and the University of Arkansas propose to design a novel and compact platform consisting of Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) devices designed to 1) automatically sense and control tire pressure, 2) generate and store power from tire vibration, 3) telemeter data to the driver cabin or road side service analyzers, and 4) be installed by the factory on new cars or retrofitted onto existing ...

There is an identified need within the Military Health System for physicians to spend no more than 15 minutes with each patient during routing outpatient appointments. The collection of administrative and medical data as well as the collection ofinformation for diagnosis and treatment (by the provider) from sources other than the patient detract significantly from the time the physician can devot ...
