Carbonics will partner with Georgia Tech to innovate and develop DC/RF device models and RF integrated circuit CMOS prototypes for operation at deep cryogenic temperatures with superior performance with low power consumption and enhanced noise performance. Our approach will adopt state-of-the-art semiconductor technology that includes bulk CMOS, CMOS SOI, and FinFET. Our plan is to commercializ ...

Storagenergy Technologies Inc. proposes a novel methodology that allows for the 3D printing of different wholly thermally cured thermosets in a fast and precise fashion mask-image-projection-based -Stereolithography (MIP-SLA) additive manufacturing process. The proposed MIP-SLA based approach has several advantages over other technologies for additive manufacturing of thermoset polymers, including ...

Physical Sciences Inc., together with its STTR partner, New Mexico State University proposes, to develop the design of a prototype microwave measurement facility for dispersed radio frequency (RF) chaff materials in this Phase I STTR effort.  The resulting design would be built and tested in Phase II establishing a unique, compact testbed for quick, relatively low-cost screening of laboratory-sca ...

Using waste streams generated on Distributed Operations bases to produce energy and water will reduce the resupply burden and increase resilience. The feasibility of using a system which integrates hydrodynamic cavitation based pretreatment, anaerobic digestion, and a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) to convert black water and food wastes into methane-enriched biogas suitable for power and non-po ...

The modernization of live training requires accurate dismounted soldier trainee position/tracking to enable the convergence of Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) training environments. The position jitter or the random position changes make the training unreliable under the condition of GPS satellite signal attenuation or blockage. In this project, a novel artificial neural network based pedest ...

COVID-19, a novel coronavirus disease, induces a hyperimmune response (cytokine storm) upon infection that often leads to hyperinflammation and immunosuppression. During the immunosuppression, the body is susceptible to other infections, which potentially increase mortality rates. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the military’s cumulative hospitalization rate (2%) is 50 ...

Opioids, especially synthetic opioids, are a constant threat to the safety of civilian first responders; there are now serious concerns about their use in modern chemical warfare. Fentanyl and its many analogues (carfentanil, remifentanil, lofentanil, mefentanil, sufentanil, etc.) are extremely hazardous—if ingested or inhaled, many synthetic opioids cause lethal intoxication with only a few gra ...

Soldiers require upwards of 15 L of water/day to remain properly hydrated. On an extended mission, soldiers can obtain water from indigenous sources using recently developed TIC/TIM filters that are compatible with the MOLLE hydration pack. There is currently no way to assess the continued efficacy of the filtration system in the field. Triton Systems and its partner will develop a handheld electr ...

This Phase I program is designed to address the Army need for a fabric with the durability of a woven fabric and the stretch and breathability of a knitted fabric while retaining Army requirements for flame resistance (FR) and vector protection. The program will focus on showing that inherently flame-resistant starting fiber and fabric materials can be manufactured to produce textiles with comfort ...

Triton Systems, Inc. will collaborate with The University of Massachusetts Lowell to develop a spray-based technology for the rapid, visual identification of opioids, turning contaminated areas from nondescript white powders to a brightly colored spots for easy recognition with the naked eye. The technology leverages molecular recognition units that bind strongly and specifically to a variety of o ...
