Chemical, Biological, Radioactive and Nuclear (CBRN) protective ensembles are widely used by the US Military and civilian first responders as the first line of defense for personnel working in contaminated environments. Many innovative products have been developed for the chemical protective clothing market in response to demand from the market place for improved performance. However, the need for ...

This Phase I SBIR Project seeks to develop methods of recycling rare earth from spent strategic materials.Rare earth materials are critical for a broad range of technologies.Important industrial sectors such as defense, manufacturing, energy, transportation,and electronics all utilize rare earth materials in abundance.There are currently a limited number of economically viable sources of rare eart ...

TIAX has developed a technology that meets the EPA' s need for decontamination of biological material in railway and subway cars. It provides simultaneous encapsulation and killing of biological contaminants with the added capability for decontamination of chemical and radiological hazards. Current technologies are manpower intensive involving separate steps for site preparation; decontamination; ...

Part Number: 525133-1 Utilizing 5-axis mill and dovetail fixturing, mill housing (item 1). On vertical mill create installation tool (525134). Working with specialty glass house, develop 525132 (quartz window) holding flatness of 3 wavelengths per inch and parallel to 3 archmin. Develop application (with same specialty glass house) of ¼ wave magnesium fluoride applied to both surface B and opposi ...

We propose an ethylene-oxide monitor with ultra-low limit of detection based on sensitive and selective optical measurement technology.Due to recently lowered exposure limits for ethylene oxide (EtO) in ambient air to 1 1 parts per trillion (long-term,1 0-4 risk level) monitoring EtO will require advanced technology. Current methods require sample trapping and preconcentration to achieve an accept ...

The ability for a warfighter to quickly and effectively decontaminate chemical and biological agents on sensitive equipment in the field can significantly improve the readiness and effectiveness of that warfighter. We propose to improve current decontamination technology based on hot air decontamination techniques, already at TRL 4, to enable the rapid and complete removal of threats from sensitiv ...

There is limited domestic production of nickel superalloys, used in propulsion, turbines, heat exchangers, exposing the military to risk of overdependence on foreign sources. End-of-life parts and shop scrap represent an untapped source of superalloys that can serve as a domestic supply, provided they can be converted into material with properties meeting specs for original parts manufacturing. Th ...

Clarapath has developed a novel high-throughput technique for gathering high-quality histopathological data at cellular resolution. Recognizing a critical gap in the available data to support the rapidly growing field of 3D bioprinting, we propose to automate our approach and optimize the resulting histopathology-based 3D models for 3D bioprinting applications. In Phase I, we will demonstrate feas ...

Characterizing and understanding the interactions between human and machine plays an important role in extracting the most out of our machine learning algorithms while reducing human workload. We propose to develop a software prototype system that reduces user workload of exploiting AI algorithms for imagery exploitation. We will design a user-friendly system for content matching with interactive ...

This project will result in the creation of multiple Technical Data Packages (TDP) and Source Approval Requests (SAR). Successful completion will qualify CEPEDA Associates as an approved vendor for these items providing the Navy with an additional, reliable, competitive supplier. CEPEDA is a qualified Navy vendor for critical components including Level I hardware and life support systems. Mission ...
