Cost-effective application of advanced commercial electronics technologies in DoD space systems requires early development of radiation-hardened-by-design (RHBD) techniques, and use of simulations is critical to the efficiency of this process. CFDRC has developed an integrated, mixed-mode simulation approach allowing their NanoTCAD device physics simulator to interface with commercial circuit simu ...

Electronic health records (EHRs) provide benefits, including ease in storing/retrieving/sharing medical information, especially when patient care is shared among a number of medical personnel.EHRs have a significant drawback in that the medical care provider must turn away from the patient to look at a computer screen and remove their hands from the patient to enter data.In a clinical setting this ...

The DOD has a need for surgery and procedural training models, which have a high degree of realism and functionality with synthetic skin, muscle, vessels, adipose, and connective tissue. The 3D printing of synthetic tissues enables such models to be fabricated customized to particular situations (i.e. unique anatomy, bone fracture, or condition) and with lower cost than conventional methods. Inco ...

This is a proposal to develop a unique, Ultrashort Pulsed Off-axis Digital Holography (USPODH) system, enabling the high frequency imaging of detailed 3D structures within aerosol fields under harsh thermodynamic conditions and high optical depths where ordinary imaging is essentially useless. Many powerful imaging methods have failed to provide this capability because noise from multiple scatteri ...

In prior research and development, the project team developed a StoryWorld, a computer-based intervention for English Learners (ELs) that presents children oral and written narratives in English while also providing the information in their first language. With this Phase I funding, the team will develop and test a prototype of a web-based dashboard that provides EL teachers real-time reports on c ...

Major advances in prosthetic devices and aggressive rehabilitation over recent years have enabled many warfighters experiencing amputation to regain functional mobility, and often return to full active duty. A critical step to ensuring that these prosthetic devices function seamlessly with the patient is the initial alignment process. This alignment process is often iterative and time consuming, a ...

BaySpec Inc., in collaboration with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, proposes to develop an innovative orthogonal sensor systemthat would be able to detect, identify and quantify the inorganic components of breathing mixes, (i.e., nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, argon, helium, and water vapor), as well as individual detectable VOCs within the exhaled breath in real-time. The Phase I resear ...

In order to meet Defense Health Agency’s need for rapid confirmation and evaluation of open globe injuries, to allow for appropriate initial triage, evacuation, and treatments, ChromoLogic LLC (CL) proposes to develop an Ocular Penetrating/Perforating inj

In order to meet Defense Health Agencys need for anatomically correct, self-healing, synthetic tissues for surgical training, ChromoLogic proposes to develop synthetically formulated anatomically correct tissues (SYNFACT). Surgical training models will be selected for fabrication on the SYNFACT system GUI and fabricated on site. SYNFACT surgical training models will self-heal between uses for reus ...

The objective of project is to develop a solution that allows doctors, nurses, medics and other healthcare providers to interact with the Electronic Health Record (EHR) in a hands-free manner, while keeping hands completely free to work with patients. Tod
