This proposal focuses on developing a protein manufacturing platform based on a novel vector system that can rapidly and efficiently generate cell lines capable of producing proteins at high yield and purity in a short time period. Lentigen is able to perform such a quick protein manufacturing process based on its LentiMaxT lentiviral (LV) gene delivery technology that stably delivers one or more ...

A gamma ray camera, based principally on position-sensitive silicon detectors, is proposed as a means to imaging the radioactive materials in the background. In order to maximize its utility, the background imager should be able to sense environmental alterations out to reasonable ranges, be of relatively low cost so that it can be widely deployed, and finally, it should have a large active volum ...

The dependency of United States military forward units on logistic fuels, such as JP-8, presents significant tactical and strategic disadvantages, as fuel shortages in times of heightened mission-criticality greatly burden operations. Reducing the logistic fuel dependency gap during these periods would result in marked tactical advantages for American forces. In this Phase I Small Business Techn ...

The objective of this proposal is to build a wireless, low-power, GPS-enabled sensor node prototype to capture patient location and time information. Development of the sensor node prototype will be based on emerging technologies in sensors, GPS and wireless communications. Integration of these technologies will facilitate the study of resuscitation and acute care strategies for combat and comme ...

Situational awareness is a critical factor for the soldier in the field. An acoustic source localization system can greatly benefit the soldier by detecting threat and displaying its location. The goal of this proposal is to study a promising algorithm based on a biologically inspired technology and verify its ability to perform in various environments and with multiple sources. The proposed ...

One of the most significant challenges facing the Defense Industry today is the lack of interoperability between software applications. Weapons systems data is voluminous, complex, and distributed across many disparate applications. Typically, only a few of these applications are truly integrated and manual processes are required to synchronize data maintained across multiple systems. Users mus ...

Bioengineering offers an efficient and robust route for the production of enzymatic catalysts such as chloroperoxidase (CPO). The CPO from Caldariomyces fumago can catalyze non-specific halogenation of electrophilic organic molecules, epoxidation and hydroxylation of olefins and organic sulfides, and generation of free chlorine from chloride ion. The objectives are to: A. Develop a Caldari ...
