The Inverse Free Electron Laser (IFEL) is a leading contender to demonstrate high gradient, high repetition rate laser acceleration for the next generation of small footprint, high energy (>200 MeV) accelerators for military applications. In the IFEL energy is transferred from a high power laser to an electron beam as they co-propagate through a magnetic undulator. The rapid development of laser t ...

Robust Chip Inc. (RCI) and Stanford University (Stanford – subcontractor) propose a project with two main parts: 1. Development of a unique new layout and circuit design methodology for complete protections against both single and multiple single event errors with a minimal circuit and layout overhead. 2. Development, and integration with fundamental design flow technology (physical design and v ...

For this Phase II SBIR project, Vcom3D proposes a Serious Game for Continuity of Care that trains combat physicians in making critical medical decisions when faced with a multiple-casualty, multi-trauma incident. The Serious Game for Continuity of Care will provide a fast-paced learning environment that will require the selective attention to numerous, competing visual and aural cues and delegatio ...

The Air Force Medical Modeling & Simulation Program has a need for synthetic tissue trainers that replicate live tissues and anatomy. Project targets replacing expensive and often objectionable live animal training. The work will be based on the trainer that was produced during Phase I. The developed trainers will replicate segments of human anatomy and will comprise multiple modular components ...

Peripheral Neuropathy (PN) is a painful debilitating condition caused by progressive subcutaneous nerve damage due to diabetes, chemotherapy or as a result of traumatic combat injuries. Systemic or topical administration of existing therapeutics alleviates pain but does not address progressive nerve damage. High dosages requisite for therapeutic effect increase long-term toxicity risk. Lynntech ...

To address the DHP need for a controlled, target-specific delivery system for topical treatment of peripheral neuropathy (PN), Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop Nano Therapeutics for Peripheral Neuropathy (NATPEN). The NATPEN will include a nanocarrier (NC) loaded with specific drugs, a biocompatible gel to contain the NC, and a microneedle patch for transdermal delivery of the ...

This project is divided into a refinement phase and an optional advanced technologies phase. The first year will be devoted to development of a simplified SynDaver Basic (SB) model, a more advanced male full body (SSH-MFB) version of the SynDaver Synthetic Human, and simple sensing technologies to allow the SSH to be used in armor and MRAP development. The second year will focus on development ...

Epidemiological estimates indicate that at least 20 percent of the forces deployed in or returning from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars suffer PTSD or major depression. The number of veterans receiving mental health care has increased from 900,000 to 1.2 million in the past four years. Last year over 400,000 were diagnosed with PTSD, and studies indicate that not all cases of PTSD, depression, and c ...

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) and the U.S. Strategic Command Center for Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction (SCC-WMD) requires transformational materials technology to support the intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) of personnel and materials associated with weapons of mass destruction (WMD) development, manufacturing, and proliferation. Voxtel, Inc. proposes to fa ...

Despite the large number of procedural simulation models currently available, there is a definite need for low cost anatomical training models with integrated sensors capable of recording the location and pressure measurements of a user"s performance in training of cuts, and sutures. A paradigm shift in medical training is possible if sensors can either be fabricated independently and embedded int ...
