There is a large effort in both the military and civilian medical communities to change from paper medical records to Electronic Medical Records (EMR). Currently, only about 3% of civilian physicians are using an EMR system. The DoD's medical facilitiesmust operate over a much larger spectrum of scenarios than those of its civilian counterparts. These encompass all the civilian cases, such as prim ...

"There is a need in the modern military to optimize the time physicians interact with patients. For example, a goal is for doctors to spend no more than 15 to 30 minutes with the patient during routine outpatient appointments. A great deal must beaccomplished during this time, ranging from a review of the vital signs and assessment of the patients conditions; through a diagnosis and ordering of ...

"There is a need in the modern military to train soldiers in the detection and identification of RF signals such as cellular, radar, INMARSAT, military communications, etc. Currently soldiers are given what amounts to "on the job" training in signalrecognition. There is no specific training system for this application. More specifically there is no system that would allow a soldier to train on ...

"The Air Force is responsible for surveying assault zones the world over. These zones, which include landing zones for fixed and rotary-wing aircraft and drop zones for troops and equipment. The Air Force surveys these areas on a regular basis tophysically measure assault zone characteristics. Air Force Special Tactics operators need to take precise measurements compromising their safety or oth ...

"PCI proposes into topic Area 2 to develop and demonstrate a JP-8 micro-reformer capable of delivering the hydrogen required for a 20 We Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) from a catalytic reactor which is expected to be ~1 in3 (size of 2 standard AA batteries)and weighing

"The primary objective of this proposal is to identify critical data mining and analytical tools and emerging technologies and methodologies that can be used to improve the entire military medical logistics/supply chain management. In addition, as part ofthis research and analysis, Premise Development Corporation will demonstrate the feasibility of creating modern and user-friendly "dashboards" ...

"The goal of this Phase I SBIR project (under AREA 3) is to develop the next generation of Protonex' low cost, reliable polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell stacks by incorporating rolled good type membrane and electrode assemblies (MEAs) duringmanufacture. Such an achievement would further reduce the cost of fabricating PEM fuel cells while simultaneously improving manufacturing yield. P ...

"When military personnel are assigned to remote locations, are in combat, and are without a medic, the need for a lightweight and reliable system that stabilizes the airway following trauma is critical. Utilizing our unique understanding of airwaycompromise, we propose to design a system that can be used to establish an airway successfully and quickly in an unconscious person with an obstructed a ...

"This program will prove the practicality and feasibility of a high-temperature motor controller board suitable for operation at a heat sink temperature of 150¿C. We will design a microprocessor-based digital controller that will control an electric motorby means of PWM with the possibility to modify the PWM switching pattern, frequency, duty-cycle and deadtime. In Phase II, we will implement ...
