Akita Innovations proposes to develop the next generation of voltage-sensitive dyes for cellular bioelectricity measurements by engineering electric field sensitivity into a class of highly fluorescent dyes which heretofore have not been used for this purpose. The much higher brightness of these dyes will improve the sensitivity of the voltage measurements. Akita will also develop a method of ta ...

In this Small Business Innovation Research program, we will develop a new class of nanosensors that are high contrast, ultrabright and fast optical voltage-indicators from diamond nanocrystals for neural activity imaging applications in vitro and in vivo. These photostable and cytocompatible diamond nanosensors will be able to monitor the bioelectric states and sub-threshold events in human cells ...

ABSTRACT: This project is aiming at developing basic semiconductor components (field-effect transistors) that will be deployed in highly radioactive environment (nuclear plants, space, radioactive waste storage facilities). Radiation Monitoring Devices (RMD), Inc. BENEFITS: ANTICIPATED BENEFITS This new concept of radiation-hard microelectronics will be compatible with recent IC technology in ter ...

Employment is essential for helping individuals with intellectual disabilities achieve independence, financial security, and self-sufficiency to be active members in the community as well as foster a higher quality of life more generally. However, only 25% of individuals with intellectual disabilities are employed two years after high school. Utilizing 3C’s proprietary dynamic e-learning platfor ...

SI2 Technologies proposes to design, model, fabricate and transition wideband tunable multiferroic electronics for advanced RF systems including adaptive Radar, software defined radios and other electronic warfare (EW) applications. Combining novel nanost

Voltage tunable multiferroic materials with strong magnetoelectric coupling provide a unique approach to compact, lightweight and power efficient tunable RF/microwave multiferroic components, such as tunable inductors, filters, phase shifters, etc. The tu

The proposed effort will extend existing proofs of concept and advanced research systems to: (a) provide an efficient, low-level, data-parallel runtime for graph processing on GPUs; (b) provide a high-level abstraction for writing graph analytics that are

The purpose of this project is to develop a device that provides rapid intermittent compression to the residual limb of amputees that do not have good blood flow in their limbs. The device will be built into the prosthetic socket to provide the user with portable therapy throughout the day, which will free the user from being confined to a chair for up to six hours each day to receive the prescrib ...

The project team is developing a prototype of the Socrative Learning Network, a website for teachers to share information to guide instructional practice. The website will support Socrative’s existing 600,000 registered teachers in creating, sharing, searching, and filtering assessments by content, grade, or user, with a mechanism for commentingedu on and editing questions. Pilot research in Pha ...

The project team will strengthen the functionality of Lingo Jingo, an on-line foreign language teaching and learning website, by adding lesson development capabilities, management tools, analytic capabilities, and activities aligned with commonly used language textbooks. The product will be used by middle and high school teachers to develop or modify classroom instruction, assign lessons, and prov ...
