We have identified NSI-566, a stable neural stem cell line, isolated and expanded from a single human fetal spinal cord tissue, as the investigational product for TBI treatment.NSI-566 has been approved by the US FDA as an investigational product for clinical testing in ALS (IND# 13905) and chronic SCI (IND# 14413) which are ongoing.For TBI treatment, we propose to place deposits of NSI-566 into t ...

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is seeking to automate parts of their procurement, logistics, and distribution processes by applying Augmented Reality (AR) solutions to increase efficiency and reduce costs. Vecna Robotics' world-leading automation consulting team is well-positioned to leverage a deep and broad understanding of advanced technology and its application to warehouse operations. Vec ...

This project aims to make Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing a practical tool for supply chain management for the Defense Logistics Agency.The key step is developing process standardization to make LBPF quality vendor independent. This project will seek to demonstrate the use of a promising high speed melt pool monitoring device as a practical means to establish such process sta ...

Made In Space, Inc. (MIS) and Siemens PLM Software propose an integrated Automated Processing. Monitoring, Control and Remediation System (Aul) to provide a process monitoring and control capability. Made In Space, Inc. leads the effort based on integrating Made In Space, Inc., proven inspection sensors systems with a Digital Thread for Additive Manufacturing (DTAM) system, co-developed by Siemens ...

Increased competition and improved lead times are desired by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for a number of NESO items with annual demand values over $10,000 and fewer than two approved sources. Mainstream Engineerings unique integration of engineering, manufacturing, quality control, and integrated logistics support (ILS) provides the government with the best value for the proposed NSN.The B- ...

Increased competition and improved lead times are desired by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for the MILSTAR system battery assembly. Mainstream Engineerings unique integration of engineering, manufacturing, quality control, and integrated logistics support (ILS) provides the government with the best value for the proposed NSN.The MILSTAR nickel-metal hydride battery pack lacks sufficient comme ...

Wearable devices have grown to meet the demand for continuous, noninvasive vital signs monitoring in the military and civilian health care markets.These devices have largely excluded pulse oximetry because non-traditional sites, such as the chest, arm and legs, pose a challenge. We have previously demonstrated the ability to accurately monitor pulse oximetry on the chest, arms and calf.This projec ...

Warfighters in global regionsendemicto vector-borne diseases,such as malaria,experienceincreased probability of being non-combat casualties. Currently,amalariavaccineis under development that requirescryogenicstorageand transport (-150°C or lower)and therefore does not readily integrate with existingvaccine distribution networks such as the World Health Organization’s Expanded Program on Immuni ...

Successful completion of the previous Phase I study and additional clinical trials has demonstrated that percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) has the potential to provide non-opioid pain relief and improvements in function to injured Service members, Veterans, and civilians. Feedback from military advisors, clinicians, and patients have identified challenges that must be addressed to tr ...

A cryovial suitable for vaccine storage below -150 C, containing a septum to facilitate syringe preparation in the field does not exist, but is urgently needed for eukaryotic whole cell products. Sanaria PfSPZ Vaccine, consisting of radiation-attenuated whole Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites (PfSPZ), has protected >90% of recipients against malaria in 5 clinical trials in the US, Europe and Afric ...
