DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In this Phase II program we propose continued development of a new nitric oxide (NO) sensor. The sensor is intended for use in assessment of airway inflammation with applications in asthma diagnosis and management as well as in other health care applications involving inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract and the urogenital organs. We use the relatively ne ...

DESCRIPTION (Investigator's Abstract): The application proposes to engage in teacher education workshops focussing on issues pertaining to drug abuse particularly the neurobiology thereof. Workshops will be provided for teachers from experts in the field. Our main goal in this science education project is to impart useful knowledge and information to teachers of grades 7 -12. In an era of de ...

This proposal describes an SBIR Phase II program to develop, optimize, and demonstrate the effectiveness of hybrid composite armor for AAAV. Hybrid composite armor systems, comprised of unique combinations of dissimilar composite materials, offer lightweight protection at a much lower cost than other high performance composites. Ballistic protection data and models for commercial composite armor ...

The objective of this Phase I proposal is to demonstrate specific mine-blast-resistant crew seat design concepts that can attenuate or absorb the high G loading, with lowest weight and cost possible. A computer simulation will be presented to identify therequired shock absorber characteristics. Various shock absorber devices will be evaluated and selected for mine-blast-resistant crew seat applica ...

The objective of the proposed Phase II program is to develop, refine, prove, and qualify methods, materials, and processes for the fabrication of replacement honeycomb-core bonded metal aircraft structures that have at least a 5-year lifetime under at-seaconditions. The results of the Phase I effort have shown that new honeycomb-core materials and adhesives are commercially available that have sig ...

Small military maritime craft are responsible for the expedient delivery of personnel to an area(s) that will allow for the successful accomplishment of mission objectives. Often these craft are required to operate in littoral (shoreline) areas under various extreme conditions. It is therefore vital that an All-Weather Vision Enhancement / Situation Awareness System be designed and developed tha ...
