Veterans with amputations are relatively common as a result of war and peace keeping efforts. The civilian amputee population is also steadily growing as a result of vascular disease. For many years, there has been an emphasis on the development of prosth

Team RTI is proposing to develop a comprehensive environment that will facilitate the provisioning and deployment of Network Function Virtualization in tactical DIL networks. We believe that it can add network resilience, enable improved data prioritizati

Cornerstone Research Group Inc. (CRG) proposes to develop an externally wearable, non-invasive, battery-operated device capable of providing analgesia equivalent to pharmacological peripheral ring nerve blocks by manipulating nervous system activity with

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

The Radionuclide Aerosol Sampler and Analyzer (RASA) is a completely automated monitoring system that detects airborne radioactive particles and is one of the detection systems used in the U.S. and global International Monitoring System (IMS) of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) to detect nuclear detonations. Mainstream proposes develop a high-efficiency cyclone separa ...

There is a need to improve the understanding of physical and chemical processes involved in the evolution of chemical warfare agent (CWA) simulant aerosols and vapors that are interacting with combustion, deflagration, and detonation products. However, the measurement of aerosols and vapors is very challenging because of limited knowledge of the photophysics at varying temperatures and pressures, ...

We propose to develop SmartPatient BOT driven by a continuous learning Natural Language Processing (NLP) Engine which can understand medical learner's questions in a natural conversation mode and provide responses from the medical simulator instead of int

Small multirotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are well suited for sensing and situational awareness missions in closed, confined, and constrained (C3) environments. However, autonomous navigation of small VTOL UAVs is very challenging in C3 environments. Current state of the art navigation methods uses vision and LIDAR to build a map, localize, and plan paths. These methods tend to be computati ...

Currently, deployed medics are required to transport, maintain and be resupplied with liquid-based medications and materials that are heavy, expensive to transport, perishable and may require refrigeration. Many medications and materials are or will soon

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
