The CONOPS for the Expeditionary Medical Support System (EMEDS) is based on practical effectiveness, speed, and efficiency. Key among the tools required by the Air Mobility Command and the Air Combat Command, which are two of the major commands that are part of the United Air Force is a multi-channel intravenous infusion pump capable of delivering fluids that meets the safe-to-fly criteria for all ...

Network operators, both within and without the Federal Government, gather a large amount of data about their networks using sophisticated collection tools. In particular, the Department of Energy operates many heavily-trafficked networks, and has done an excellent job implementing processes and developing applications which collect significant amounts of network measurement data.Unfortunately, dat ...

The diverse workload of ever-increasing cloud and high-performance computing applications brings many challenges to traditional server-centric computing system architectures with a fixed amount of compute, memory and storage nodes. Conventional electrical interconnect approach suffers from the incapability of disaggregating the storage from the compute over few meters due to the inherent losses as ...

Higher energy, safer and lower cost rechargeable batteries leading to higher performing and increased market adoption of a wide array of products such as electric vehicles among several others. Current lithium-ion batteries have a specific energy of approximately 200 Wh/kg while it is desired to develop rechargeable batteries with specific energy in excess of 400 Wh/kg. Further, it i ...

Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the fastest growing technology sectors. By 2025, it is predicted that there will be 50 billion connected devices, a 400% growth from today. IoT growth is predicted to be highest in the following industrial sectors: manufacturing, transportation, healthcare and social assistance, energy & utilities, infrastructure, and smart homes. Many IoT applications and existi ...

NanoSD, Inc. with its partners will develop a transparent, nanostructured thermally insulating film that can be applied to existing single-pane windows to reduce heat loss. To produce the nanostructured film, the team will create hollow ceramic or polymer nanobubbles and consolidate them into a dense lattice structure using heat and compression. Because it is mostly air, the resulting nanobubble s ...

There is a fundamental need for a high-performance computing approach to computational electromagnetics modeling tools suitable for designing and optimizing high-end nanostructures and photonics devices. Complex geometries and material responses to incident electromagnetic fields require a significant level of computational resources, especially when realistic manufacturing tolerances are incorpor ...

The over-arching goal of this SBIR project is to offer Vorcat, Inc.'s ("Vorcat") breakthrough Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology in a High Performance Computing (HPC) cloud environment so as to extend its current reach and foster adoption. The cloud app(s) proposed here addresses the problem of advancing current capabilities for designing next generation automotive and wind-turbine tech ...

The 2013 report from the International Panel on Climate Change states that the spatial extent of Arctic sea ice has decreased in every season, and in every successive decade since 1979. Arctic summer sea ice retreat is unprecedented (9.4 to 13.6% per decade). Numerical simulations predict a nearly ice-free summertime Arctic after the middle of the 21st century. It is now well established that ...

The size-dependent concentration of airborne particles plays a critical role in the direct scattering and absorption of light, and in the physical characteristics, lifetime and spatial extent of clouds. These factors affect the earth’s radiation balance, and hence climate. Yet these effects are not adequately quantified, in part because of insufficient data on the size and concentration of atmos ...
