DESCRIPTION provided by applicant The overall goal of the proposed SBIR program is to commercialize the flexible Digital Light Ophthalmoscope Stimulator DLO S for fundus imaging that is simultaneous with the presentation of visual stimuli This mode of operation provides accurate retinal localization during visual function assessment Low vision due to retinal disease brain and other visua ...

This SBIR Phase II project will fund the development of collaborative writing software designed specifically for children ages 14 and under. Producing well-crafted explanatory and argumentative writing using evidence, required in the study of Science and other STEM disciplines, is a challenging task for many students, and teachers often lack the resources, tools, experience and/or opportunities to ...

ABSTRACT: Dayton T. Brown Inc. (DTB) and Fatigue Technology Inc. (FTI) propose the collaborative development of an all-platform standardized bushing system for AF Landing Gears (LGs). In order to minimize or eliminate the problems associated with traditional bushing installation methods, the use specially-engineered variant(s) of FTIs ForceMate system is proposed. Accelerated simultaneous testing ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to develop a new microscope that integrates biodynamic imaging with conventional phase contrast microscopy for use in drug development and other research applications. Accurately capturing the signatures of three-dimensional biological systems provides more realistic measures of drug effic ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will explore the applicability of a Gabor-domain optical coherence microscopy (GD-OCM) instrument to image and evaluate optical materials as part of the manufacturing process. The immediate broader impact of this project is to effectively provide both qualitative and quantitative information about product quality in manufacturing, wit ...

The opportunity of interest is the introduction and application of a bistatic tool set for both surface and submarine Mid-Frequency (MF) active sonar systems to enhance anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capability in strike group or coordinated surface and submarine ASW operations. The ability to localize threat submarine forces in a battlefield scenario by judicious application of bistatic capability ...

Helios Remote Sensing Systems, Inc. proposes to develop a new Submarine Imaging Mast Direction Finding (DF) capability for the Next Generation Submarine Electronic Warfare (EW) System. During Phase I, Helios will define and develop concepts for a submarine imaging mast DF capability. We will demonstrate the feasibility of the concept in meeting Navy needs and will establish that the concept can be ...

In this SBIR Phase I proposal, Kent Optronics Inc proposes to design and validate a compressive spectral sensor for multiple military missions. The sensor is expected to enable both multispectral (MS) and hyperspectral (HS) sensing capability. The multispectral sensing is for wide area situational awareness and target tracking; while hyperspectral sensing for target recognition/identification. The ...

Soilless growth mediums widely used throughout the horticultural industry are either synthetic in origin, or require synthetic chemicals and energy-intensive processing. Ecovative's biomaterial aims to displace these non-renewable, energy-intensive, materials using its product consisting of a self-assembling, moldable mass of fungal mycelium. Mycelium act as a biological resin, binding togethe ...

Improved Direction Finding capabilities for insertion into the Submarine Imaging Mast are developed and integrated with the Next Generation Submarine Electronic Warfare (EW) System.In Phase I candidate DF approaches are analytically modeled (MATLAB). The AOA performance, RF complexity, and SWAP (with current mast antennas and size, power, and interface restrictions) are compared. Functional block ...
