In Phase II, the focus is select real world scenarios to demonstrate an actual implementation and to evaluate the performance of the proposed dynamic networking. Avtec will focus on the following Time Sensitive/Time Critical wide bandwidth applications:Link 16 Enhanced RELNAV Targeting in GPS denied Environments, and Advanced Tactical Targeting Technology (AT3). Avtec is currently involved in th ...

Avtec views this SOCOM program as an RF systems development program, more than just an antenna development program. The family of antennas developed under this program must work with a wide range of communications systems, and also provide a wide range offunctionality (communications reception and transmission over a broad frequency range with multiple radio systems, provide omni and directional c ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In order for a tumor to grow, it must obtain nutrients and oxygen from its host and continuously evolve new vasculature to deliver supplies to its multiplying cells. Exciting current research studies of interventions that reduce or reverse malignant growth of tumors using angiogenesis inhibitors and vasoactive compounds that modify tumor blood flow. Research ...

We have identified a novel heparin-like peptidyl coagulation inhibitor that is a peptide fragment of a naturally-occurring human fibrinogen isoform, gammaA/gamma' fibrinogen. The peptide is active as an anticoagulant in whole plasma, and is unlikely to elicit an immune response, since it is a normal fibrinolytic cleavage product of this fibrinogen isoform. This application focuses on the developm ...

Barron Associates, Inc. (BAI) proposes an aggressive Phase I effort to develop novel adaptive, integrated guidance, control, and estimation algorithms for ballistic-missile interceptors with stringent hit-to-kill requirements. The approach combines recentadvances in nonlinear control (backstepping) and estimation methods, and leverages on-line neural network technology for rapid adaptation and ro ...

Permanent Magnet Motor (PMM) technology, already used in demanding applications by the U.S. Navy and by the oil drilling industry, may be expanded to replace electro-hydraulic steering gear on DDG 51 class ships. PMM steering can potentially provide suchbenefits as improved dynamic performance, reduced noise emissions, lower maintenance, higher reliability, and lower life cycle cost.The challenge ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Falls are a leading cause of disability and even death in the elderly. A method is needed by which to identify elderly persons who frequently experience falls or near falls (e.g., slips, stumbles, etc.). There are presently no tools to objectively record such events and their characteristics (e.g., kinematics) in independent-living, assisted-living, or nursi ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by investigator): The goal of the research proposed herein is to develop a low-cost, user-friendly, computer-based imaging system for use by women to reduce anxiety and distress relating to alopecia (hair loss) prior to or following chemotherapy. It has been reported that 47% to 58% of women with cancer cite the likelihood of alopecia as the most disturbing anticipated aspec ...
