Valitus Technologies proposes a prototype development and deployment of its current Victus LED Street Lighting unit to Include a SWIR LiDAR sensor coupled with Artificial Intelligence for critical infrastructure and perimeter protection. The prototype will also include visible and thermal IP cameras, as well as humidity, temperature, and lux sensors with 5G connectivity to ingest potential data fr ...

Congress and DoD recognize that small businesses are critical to the US economy and our national defense. Yet DoD spends an astonishing 31.7% of its contracting budget with just 5 large defense contractors and over 63% with the top 100 defense contractors. There are 10M plus small businesses in the US. DoD engages only a tiny percentage of them. Unfortunately, there presently is no effective way f ...

The Department of Energy seeks a solution the improve the thermal transfer fluid for particle-based concentrating solar power (CSP) system. While ceramic proppants have been widely used for thermal transfer media, their high cost (>$1,000/ton) is a significant hurdle for further reduction of the Levelized cost of energy (LCOE). If the invented media or particles show excellent solar absorptivity a ...

We propose here a series of advancements leading to the design of robust and efficient rotating detonation engines (RDE) for rocket propulsion. We will begin with appropriate model upgrades to existing high-fidelity computational modeling tools for accurate modeling of RDE injector with liquid propellants. We will then perform a comparative study of existing test data and perform detailed computat ...

Electrodialysis and other membrane-based, electro-driven desalination methods offer advantages over current methods for desalination including low costs, reduced energy consumption, low plant footprints and minimal feed pretreatment. However, the high cost and poor selectivity of ion exchange membranes, as well as their susceptibility to scaling, still prevent electro-driven desalination technolog ...

ABSTRACT Type-1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) affects 1.25 million patients in US with 40,000 new patients annually. Lifespan is shortened 11-13 years, due to kidney and heart disease. Tight glucose control reduces microvascular complications and adverse cardiovascular events. Insulin therapy is essential for such patients, but has shortcomings: a) only 1 in 3 patients achieve targeted glucose control ...
