The current market for fast switching frequency sythesizers is growing rapidly. Most synthesizers available today will not meet the stringent requirements for switching quickly, providing spectrally pure RF outputs and minimizing physical size and cost. As part of a current SBIR program, S.T. Research has developed a wideband, fast switching synthesizer, based on the use of broadband phase-locke ...

SI2 Technologies, Inc. (SI2) proposes to design and develop a low-cost, wideband, conformal antenna array that can be integrated with beamforming common modules separately developed in the DARPA ACT program. We will leverage our proprietary antenna array technology, validated on a variety of previous programs, to design an antenna array that can cover the full bandwidth for the Phase II DARPA ACT ...

The Mobile Reconfigurable Acoustic Network (MoRAN) and associated Scalable Nested Network Optimization Methodology (SN2OM) will enable reliable underwater acoustic communications over a scalable ocean area with latencies on the order of minutes for criti...

The proposed effort is based on the availability of a low cost UUV and acoustic modem with sufficient intelligence to produce an acoustic network with the capability to adapt to changing environmental conditions for optimization of data transmission perf...

Autonomous standoff detection of lethal or narcotic chemical agents and chemical emissions has long been a major concern. While significant advances have recently been accomplished in remote spectral sensing using regged FTIRs with point detectors, efforts towards spatial chemical discrimination and low-cost portable devices have been lacking.Foster-Miller, Inc. (FMI) together with Boeing/Rockwel ...

Abstract Significance Donor tissue shortage remains a critical problem in lung transplantation Recent advances in tissue engineering have allowed for the possibility of generating bioengineered lungs from decellularized organ scaffolds These scaffolds created from the donor s tissue become functionalized after recellularization with a patient s own cells However translation of whole lung de ...

Abstract Significance: Donor tissue shortage remains a critical problem in lung transplantation. Recent advances in tissue engineering have allowed for the possibility of generating bioengineered lungs from decellularized organ scaffolds. These scaffolds, created from the donor’s tissue, become functionalized after recellularization with a patient’s own cells. However, translation of whole-lun ...

PROJECT SUMMARY ABSTRACT Schizophrenia is a debilitating and costly psychiatric disorder which affects in every individuals in the U S The illness has severe consequences for psychological social and occupational functioning which often leave individuals dependent on others for care and support Schizophrenia not only takes a devastating toll on patients it can place a tremendous burden ...

Busek proposes to initiate the development of a semi-autonomous, teleoperated welding robot for joining of external (or internal metallic uninhabited volume at zero pressure) surfaces in space.nbsp; This welding robot will be an adaptation of a versatile Busek developed system called SOUL (Satellite On Umbilical Line) with a suitable weld head attached to it.nbsp;SOUL is a small (lt;10kg), nanosat ...
