Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) and our subcontractor Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) propose to develop a suite of radiological/nuclear (R/N) detection and contextual sensor modules to enable real-time understanding and association of potential R/N threats in complex urban environments.The proposed Radiation and contextual Data Integration for Urban Mapping 360° (RADIUM-360) will lev ...

While vehicle-based radiation detection systems exist, they are limited in that 1) these systems are very large, heavy, and permanently installed in highly specialized vehicles with custom hardware and 2) provide limited contextual sensor data fusion and integration capabilities. As a result, the system can be rendered inoperable if the vehicle is involved in an accident, is down for regularly sch ...

Global Technology Connection, Inc. (GTC), in collaboration with Arktis Detection Systems Inc., proposes the development of MobiQkRad (Mobile Quick Radiological/Nuclear Source Localization system). This innovative system is designed for rapid integration into standard vehicles, featuring lightweight components and advanced capabilities for real-time nuclear sources localization, 3D rendering with r ...

The overall objective of the Phase II program is to develop and commercialize a portable, reliable, easy-to-use medical device called POMAS (Portable Oculomotor Multi-sensing Assessment System) (Figure 1) with associated software in order to enable non-invasive, fast, accurate and objective full spectrum oculomotor testing combined with 2 involuntary ANS (Autonomic Nervous System) measurements for ...

Tao Treasures LLC, dba Nanobiofab (NBF), hereafter referred to as Nanobiofab, is developing a revolutionary RAPID-iNose solution to address the urgent need for an intelligent wound dressing system that integrates bacterial infection detection with NPWT. The RAPID-iNose employs low-cost, highly sensitive, accurate, miniaturizable, AI-powered gas sensors for rapid, continuous, and real-time monitori ...

Diminishing domestic helium supplies and a growing dependence on foreign sources of helium, such as helium produced in Russia, have created severe shortages of this critical gas for various facets of the U.S. economy, including medicine, research, manufacturing, and consumer goods. This proposal aims to address this vulnerability in the U.S. supply chain through the development of a novel family o ...

Textured piezoceramics is now of increasing interest to the underwater acoustic community due to their performance and/or cost benefits compared to conventional PZT and single crystals. Recent work at QorTek has shown the technology to increase source level and provide larger bandwidth relative to Type III PZT ceramics for specific designs. This enables form factor reductions and/or improved perfo ...

Historically, active materials (Navy Type III) used in compact, low cost Navy sonars, such as A-size sonobuoys have moderate d33 and low loss factor. Recent developments in lead-based textured ceramic with properties between those of conventional PZT ceramics and relaxor single crystals can improve the performance of these systems, but need to be manufactured at high volume and low cost. Most appr ...

Under this Phase I effort, Statheros and our non-profit research institution teammate, Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), will define, model, simulate, and analyze multiple Electrically Small High Frequency Antenna for Unmanned Naval Applications (ESHFAUNA) design concepts to determine the feasibility of an electrically small antenna capable of fulfilling USN’s CONOPs and requirements onboard ...
