Increases in data volume and diversity place a disproportionate burden on decision makers, who must manually manage datasets with tools that are insensitive to their missions, tasks, and objectives. In time-critical situations, information management is more likely to consume decision makers’ time and attention than facilitate their analysis. In response, we propose to design and develop an adap ...

Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI), more commonly known as concussion, is well reported in both civilian and military literature, and has gained significant public attention due to recent conflicts in the Middle East and the extensive media coverage on the dangers of sports related head trauma. The Army has identified the need to develop a simple, easy-to-use, portable screening device to assess m ...

SI2 Technologies, Inc. (SI2) proposes to accelerate development of printed, high-efficiency phased arrays operating at Navy-relevant frequencies. The proposed development effort will include optimization of the array printing techniques from Phase I to meet the Navys phased array performance goals. The printed arrays will incorporate both printed radiating elements and an innovative printed packag ...

DESCRIPTIONprovided by applicantThe goal of the project is to develop a therapeutic against vancomycin resistant enterococcusVREThese infections are a serious health concern because antibiotic resistance has gotten to the point where there are few or no effective treatment options availableFor the enterococciresistance is inherently linked to toleranceth ability of the pathogen to survive in the p ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in the U S and plays a major role in the development of type diabetes dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disease There remains a very significant need for better non surgical treatments While most weight loss agents rely on suppressing appetite to reduce caloric intake strategies that can safely enhance energy expe ...

Soldiers displaying symptoms of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) need accurate, timely, in-theater assessment of symptoms. Often, initial assessment and diagnosis must be conducted by first-level responders who attempt to assess vestibular symptoms directly following a concussive event; however, these symptoms are often missed, not adequately evaluated, or misdiagnosed due to a lack of familiari ...

Intraocular surgery is usually performed under stereoscopic guidance using a surgical microscope. The surgeon is usually able to see intraocular structures through a clear cornea. However, when the optical clarity of the cornea is severely compromised, visualization of the retina and other intraocular structures is very difficult or impossible. Poor visualization of intraocular structures during s ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Alzheimerandapos s disease AD is one of the most significant public health problems of the st century with the number of patients in the US estimated to grow from million to million by and an annual cost of care projected to reach $ trillion Current treatments for AD have limited effect for a short duration and only serve to alleviate sympto ...

One of the most common military injuries are musculoskeletal injuries (MSI), which inflicts thousands of individuals through combat and occupational risks. These injuries to the upper limb require treatment, assistance, and rehabilitation for the afflicted individual. The proposed Hand Assist/Rehab Orthosis (HARO) is a low-profile, aesthetic, functional system that is able to provide actuation to ...

Currently, live training is limited in realism because of costs (e.g., roleplayer manpower, upkeep of MOUTs), safety (e.g., restricted use of battlefield effects), logistics (e.g., unavailability of combined arms assets), and/or local laws (e.g., restricted airspace for aircraft). This project combines low-cost COTS augmented reality (AR) technologies together to overcome these challenges, to vast ...
