We propose development of an AR system that allows the medical personnel to visualize the internal anatomy of a patient by projecting relevant anatomical information onto the patient directly into the field of view (FOV) of the medic. With no medical imag

Secondary injuries including pressure-induced skin and soft tissue injury (PSSTI) and hypothermia complicate care for wounded soldiers starting from point of wounding up through higher levels of care. A transport pad capable addressing secondary injuries

DTRA uses High Fidelity Computer Codes (HFCC) to investigate weapon effects and techniques for countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). End-to-end HFCC simulations in support of the DTRA Agent Defeat Warfighter Capability will require calculations including multiple phenomena that occur in vastly different time scales (µ-sec to hours). As DTRA becomes increasingly reliant on computational mo ...

TDA Research, Inc. (TDA), designed, built, and tested a dense array of 100 very low cost infrasonic sensors. Due to their low cost (1/100x-1/10x the cost of other infrasound sensors), they can be economically deployed in very large numbers; such large arrays can gather more information than a few expensive sensors. They are sensitive from 0.1 Hz - 100 Hz down to 0.08 Pa. We tested the sensors in s ...

In order to meet DHA’s need for in-line, non-invasive and non-destructive cell monitoring in dynamically growing cultures, In Phase I, ChromoLogic (CL) developed a prototype system for cell monitoring by optical coherence tomography (CM-OCT). Following th

Researchers are identifying new biomarkers to help monitor cognition and stress in the human body and enhance human performance. Traditional biomarkers like heart rate, temperature, oxygen saturation, blood glucose, electrolyte concentration, etc have bee

Sweat contains biomarkers that give an indication of human cognitive levels. In this SBIR project TDA Research is developing a modular sweat sensor patch that has the capability to not only carry out real-time monitoring of select biomarkers, but also to

During the Phase I effort, Proportional Technologies, Inc. developed non-saturating components for a military battlefield dosimeter based on ionization chamber technology. Chambers were thimble-shaped, made out of carbon, and incorporated different materials for the conversion of fast neutrons, thermal neutrons, and gamma radiation. Extensive testing showed that the proposed solution is feasible. ...

The goal of this project is to design and develop Semantic Analysis Technologies for the Identification of Dual Use Research of Concern (STIR). STIR processes scientific documents using semantic technologies and inference algorithms to identify potential for Dual Use Research of Concern (DURC). The focus is on 15 high consequence pathogens and toxins and 7 experimental categories identified as DUR ...

Problem: Currently available resuscitation fluids have been shown to induce detrimental effects on trauma outcomes. Objective: The objective of this proposal is to use the data from the successful Phase 1 studies to guide the continued development and te
