Award Data

Vadum will develop Chemical, Heterogeneous sensor fusion Incident awareness Module (CHIME)asoftware module that will ingest data from a large number of asynchronous, heterogeneous and multi-tiered sensors to automate the process of estimating the source attributes of a chemical or biological release. CHIME generates estimates from a continuous stream of raw sensor data with successive estimates al ...

To address the CBDs need for adjustable optical correction technology for respiratory protective systems, Physical Optics Corporation (POC)proposes to continue the development of a new low-cost Adaptive Lens for Ocular Correction (ALOC). The ALOC is formed by thin-filmmicroarrays of wavefront correctors (MWCs), which are conformably laminated onto the facemask visor and controlled by a miniature d ...

A reliable, low-cost, low-power, adjustable, optical-correction technology for the Avon M50 respirator is proposed that is capable of deliveringthe eye relief needed by users needing visual correction with +/ 9 diopter correction in less than 100 ms, while maintaining a wide gaze angle.To achieve the application requirements, a series of freeform GRIN Alvarez lenses will be designed, fabricated, a ...

As a foundational component of a Layered Sensing architecture, Toyon proposes to develop a Multi-Modal Fusion Module (M2FM) capable ofconfirming detections from Chemical, Biological, and Radiological (CBR) sensing networks by fusing together information from other (non-CBR)sensors. In addition to confirming an initial CBR detection, M2FM will aid in characterizing the threat scenario by estimating ...

We propose a high performance, cost-effective, universal Digital Assay Solutions platform with Mobile Readers, Assay Development and Calibration Software, and HIPAA-compliant cloud services for global health and defense applications. In Phase II project, we have developed the first generation product family receiving considerable interest from the assay manufacturers, government organizations and ...

To address the CBDs need for a signal processing system designed to analyze and fuse data collected from chemical and biological sensors, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to further develop the Wavelet-Based Approach for Signal Processing and Analysis (WASP). WASP is based on novel application of Wavelet-based analysis to multimodal, multidimensional data available from a wide variety of ...

Promoting the sharing of technical data between researchers is one of the most effective ways to advance technology development. As a result, there is a growing trend for research communities to develop websites with curated catalogs of data sets and tools. However, once a large number of resources have been collected, it can become challenging to maintain a centralized site so that potential user ...

Mobile devices have become the predominant commercial and enterprise product for consumers to access the Internet, and these Internet of Things (IoT) devices and sensors are at risk from adversarial cyber attacks. DHS S&T's NGFR Apex program is currently using mobile, net-enabled sensors to connect their First Responders. Metronome Software proposes to utilize its eCLOAK (AFRL SBIR Phase II) techn ...

In this SBIR topic, DNDO has identified the necessity for an optimized PRND UI which can run on a smartphone/device and can either communicate with actual detector hardware or receive simulated input from a software component based on the user's position relative to virtual source(s). This Spectral Labs Incorporated (SLI) proposal, 'RAD/NUC Smart-device User Interface & Training Environment' (RN-S ...

The recent advances of modern high-throughput genomic technologies have resulted in a large number of fully sequenced microbial organisms. The construction of these comprehensive metabolic models serves many purposes including encapsulating all the data and allowing for in silco experiments to be performed that can drive experimental work and aid in strain development and optimization. The creatio ...
