DESCRIPTION provided by applicant A disparity exists between rural and urban suburban children with suspected ASD in the time interval between first identification of a possible problem and a firm diagnosis This project will investigate the effect of a recently developed and validated remote diagnostic method leveraging an evidence based Smartphone Telehealth service called NODA tm for auti ...

Advanced Ceramic Fibers, LLC (ACF) completed the Navy SBIR Phase I Base Program and clearly demonstrated the feasibility of our approach to create a truly robust composite for turbine engines that exceeds the known boundaries for ceramic composites and the Navy performance objectives for this Topic. Our engineered materials approach involved in-depth background experience in ceramic matrix composi ...

Liquid metal cooled fission reactors are both moderated and cooled by a liquid metal solution. These reactors are typically very compact and they can be used in regular electric power production, for naval and space propulsion systems or in fission surface power systems for planetary exploration. Liquid metals in fusion reactors can be used in heat exchange, tritium breeder systems and in first wa ...

A cognitive computing natural-language question/answer system for defense contracting documents is proposed. The results of the Phase I effort are discussed. A detailed Phase II technical plan is presented. This includes refinements to the Phase I work, extended build-out and testing of the proposed system. Implementation plans are presented.

A 32x32-channel multiplexing Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) driver, which can hold a voltage signal with a 16-bit resolution or beyond, is proposed. Such a driver will greatly reduce the operation power, and are compact and reliable. When the ASIC driver is vertically integrated with a Deformable Mirror (DM), the potential wiring failure will be eliminated. Furthermore, radiation r ...

In the near future unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) will be utilized for many societal and commercial applications. However, the hurdle of operation safety in the form of avoiding airborne collisions must first be overcome. UAVradars LLC is proposing a small, lightweight, and low-power radar system designed specifically to give small UAS (< 55 lbs) airborne collision-avoidance sensory capability. ...

Salmonella is a bacteriathat causessevere stomach and gut distressinpeople andis the leading cause of food-borne illnesses resulting in hospitalization and death in the US. The resulting economic losses caused bythisbacteriain the livestock industry are staggering with much of the loss attributed to recalls, permanent disruption of the gut lining impairing nutrient absorption, and necessary cullin ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant The objective of this Phase I STTR research is to develop and test osteoinductive lumbar spinal fusion implant prototypes made using materials technology developments discovered by the PI at the University of Kansas In preliminary work lower impedance piezoelectric composite materials that generate power for direct current DC electrical stimulation applica ...

Proposed is the development of an advanced solid state neutron spectrometer (NeuKopis) with directional resolve, building from prototype instruments that have demonstrated the art-of-the-possible. The intrinsic neutron detection efficiency of the refined

As stated in the solicitation, the pavement infrastructure in the US covers a large surface area and requires intensive energy and natural resources. Vehicles that travel over these pavements are also resource intensive. Solar Roadways Incorporated envisions replacing current asphalt surfaces with modular Solar Road Panels: structurally-engineered solar panels that can be driven upon. The roadwa ...
