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

We propose to design, fabricate, and test a novel x-ray detector for use in industrial CT scanners. This linear detector array combines high spatial resolution and long array length to achieve high-resolution scans on large objects. We propose to supplyan x-ray scanner to the Army Research Laboratory for non-destructive testing that includes this linear array with a commercial flat-panel area de ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

This SBIR will perform research leading to design, prototyping, and feasibility demonstration of an Inactive RF Tag made with a Radio Frequency Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (RF-MEMS) as a means to provide power scavenging in a power poor environmentfound in underground missile storage areas. The research will develop the use of RF-MEMS switches in conjunction with RF MEMS sensors as a means t ...

The purpose of the proposed OSD Phase I program is to develop and commercialize novel tissue solders based on a biodegradable copolymer system that contains a controlled degree of acrylate-terminated photoactive branch sites. This will result in a processthat, with the addition of a biocompatible and non-toxic photosensitizer/electron donor initiating system, will rapidly cure from a viscous liqui ...

Project will evaluate energy sources that are alternatives to chemical storage batteries for a miniature transponder in cold dark spaces. In order of lowest to highest technical risk: a beta battery using a hermetically sealed beta source, RF energyscavenging, and a miniature reformer-fuel cell that scavenges energy from naturally occurring methane or fuel vapors. Power supply based on one of th ...
