Award Data

Oceanit will develop a handheld, non-contact Laser Ultrasound (ncLUS) medical imaging scanner in the form of a stand-alone lightweight handheld device. Using synthetic aperture imaging, the acquired images will be displayed in real- time using a handheld screen, which will be archived and accessible for reviewing on demand in retrospective analyses.

Operational Technologies Corp. (OpTech) proposes to screen its existing patented Salmonella enterica DNA aptamers (U.S. Application No. 13/136,820, issued) against a number of typhoidal and non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica serovars to determine the level of crossreactivity with the goal of detecting only non-typhoidal Salmonella. Aptamers have demonstrated the potential for greater affinity (assa ...

The U.S. Army has a requirement to develop a simulation-based training system to assist teaching and training the use of intraosseous (IO) devices in the humeral head to administer fluid to patients at point of injury. Through this Phase I SBIR effort, SIMETRI proposes to produce a prototype, proof-of-concept device, training aids, and training analysis that will demonstrate means to meet the Army ...

Phase I research culminated in the delivery of a prototype single-arm humeral head HHIO PTT which was well received by users. The prototype trainer development focused on providing an accurate simulation of the humeral head IO procedure, and was shown through usability testing to have been successful. Follow-on research is now called for to develop this proven technology into a commercially viable ...

The Second Phase II of the HHIO PTT SBIR (also known as Phase II (b)) will build upon the results from the successful Phase I and Phase II efforts culminating in an expanded and improved version of the Phase II prototype with additional capabilities, enhanced user-friendliness, better reliability, and a specific design for commercialization. SIMETRI will leverage the lessons learned from the Phase ...

Portable, lightweight, and easy to use assistive and rehabilitation orthotic devices (ARODs) are of critical importance to people affected by upper limb musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs) due to the limited supply of traditional rehabilitation resources. Since currently available ARODs for the hand are bulky, non-portable, and cumbersome to use, treatment methods for upper limb MSIs still rely heavi ...

Traumatic upper limb musculoskeletal injuries and neurodegenerative conditions such as stroke routinely afflict our Warfighters, veterans and citizens and lead to significant loss of upper limb function.Assistive and rehabilitation orthotic devices (ARO

Fabrico Technology, Professor Leonid Bunegin, and Dr Jeremy W. Canon of the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSC-SA), proposes to develop an Electrophoretic Decellularization Chamber (EDC) technology to produce a rigidity tuned Electrophoretic Decellularized Bio-Scaffold (EDBS) Cranial Bone - ExtraCellular Matrix (CB-ECM) Cranioplasty Prototype Construct (CPC) for the ev ...

Oceanit will develop a method to increase the coupling factor in personal cooling systems. In our Phase I efforts the system will be designed and components selected. This system will meet all of the DOD requirements for the application

In our Phase II project Oceanit will further develop the proof of concept LCG and associated high thermal conductivity tubing into fully functional prototypes. These prototypes will be tested using a human model, thermal manikin (TM) and field testing by AFSOC personnel. Our approach provides a fundamental improvement, increasing human-machine coupling, with far reaching benefits in efficiency. Th ...
