To address the Army Medical Research and Material Command"s need for closed-loop anesthesia system Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Intelligent Sensor for Closed Loop Anesthesia Delivery (iSCAD) system based on a novel optical spectroscopy technique and a multisensor fusionbased control algorithm. The key innovation in the iSCAD is its novel system design that allows acc ...

To address the DHP need for a biometric model to address dismounted complex blast injury of the pelvis, abdomen, and genitals, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Pelvic Model with multi-Sensory Data Acquisition (ELVIS). This proposed model is based on the combined development of a numerical model for blast effect prediction for different impact forces and an anatomically c ...

Thermal injury is common in military conflicts due to primarily to the widespread use of explosive devices. Burns can produce scars that are excessive, physically debilitating and functionally damaging. There is a critical need for an effective product that can control bacterial contamination and prevent colonization, mitigate inflammation, and diffuse to or reach necrotic and damaged tissue resul ...

Arete Associates and Luminex Corporation propose a Phase II SBIR effort to develop a portable, Point-of-Care system that enables rapid identification of known and de novo pathogens in wounds. The proposed system, which leverages Luminex"s award-winning bead-based multiplexing technology and Arete"s advanced bioinformatics algorithms, provides pathogen identification and antibiotic resistance info ...

The overall incidence of burns in current military operations has nearly doubled during the past few years and this type of injury remains a common component of armed conflicts. To address the need for prevention of scar contracture following burns, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Control of Scar Contracture After Burn injury (SCAB) topical formulation. The SCAB is desi ...

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) and the U.S. Strategic Command Center for Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction (SCC-WMD) requires transformational materials technology to support the intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) of personnel and materials associated with weapons of mass destruction (WMD) development, manufacturing, and proliferation. Voxtel, Inc. proposes to fa ...

Prevention of the smuggling of radioactive material into the United States to be used by terrorists in a nuclear weapon or in a radiological dispersal device, such as in a"dirty bomb", is a key national security objective. It is desirable to have a system capable of stand-off detection to monitor and rapidly alert the presence of covert nuclear materials. Tanner proposes to develop a compact lase ...

The goal of the Environment, Epidemiology, and Etiology Surveillance and Analysis Toolkit (E3SAT) project is to develop a data analysis infrastructure, models and templates to facilitate environmental, epidemiological and etiological analysis. E3SAT provides a research data cube and analysis tool suite that allows researchers to collect, integrate and data mine medical information, environmental ...

This project is divided into a refinement phase and an optional advanced technologies phase. The first year will be devoted to development of a simplified SynDaver Basic (SB) model, a more advanced male full body (SSH-MFB) version of the SynDaver Synthetic Human, and simple sensing technologies to allow the SSH to be used in armor and MRAP development. The second year will focus on development ...

Innoflight will develop a high performance software-defined compact radio (SCR) with Ka and X dual band downlink capability and S Band uplink capability. The Ka / X SCR will support 300 Mbps downlink and 5 Mbps uplinks rates using advanced spectrally efficient waveforms. It will offer interoperability with standard government and commercial ground stations such as the Army RGT (Remote Ground Termi ...
