Abstract:"Nondestructive inspection is a key component of programs aimed at extending the service life of aging aircraft. One important capability is the detection of cracking and corrosion around fastener holes. In thick, multiple layer structures, there is oftenno solution but removal of the fasteners… more
Abstract:"Current manufacturing technology for cast titanium components cannot guarantee theabsence of hard alpha inclusions.Under the effect of fatigue, such inclusions become likely sites for structuralfailure. By performing nondestructive inspections on the manufactured parts usingphased array ultrasound,… more
Abstract:Collagen based biosynthetic materials have profoundly improved the outcome of reconstruction and restoration of congenital defects and traumatic injuries. This has been most apparent for massive burn victims that historically suffered lifelong severe scarring and lost of function following wound… more
Abstract:"The proposed project will demonstrate the feasibility of developing a Stochastic Neural Network for Missile Reliability Prognostics. A neural network model will be developed to predict missile reliability based on the environmental history of particularmissiles. Prediction training will be… more
Abstract:This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is aimed at developing a general platform for conducting combinatorial auctions. It is proposed to develop a bidding language and user interface, along with a system architecture for an integrated combinatorial auction platform that can… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): DNA damages are key events during carcinogenesis. Deficiencies in repairing damaged DNA represent a poor prognosis during tumorigenesis and/or cancer treatment. Besides monitoring DNA damage formation, it would be helpful to monitor DNA repair protein activity.… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The aim of this proposal is to develop a
series of fluorogenic imaging molecules, which can be easily delivered into
viable cells and monitor cellular functions. The FIMs are composed of a peptide
backbone containing a target site for a kinase or a protease. Some… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal focuses on the development of multi-well ELISA-like assays to quantify DNA binding activity of two breast cancer prognosis markers, Sp1 and ER, with much more sensitivity and high throughput than standard DNA gel shift techniques. Such an approach… more
Abstract:API proposes to develop a comprehensive toolkit for the construction of real-time diagnostics of aerospace systems. The toolkit includes modular ruggedized hardware components, based upon a COTS design, scalable from 400MFLOPS to 40 GFLOPS or more. Hermetically sealed, thermal managed processors in… more
Abstract:"A shock mitigating suspended seat which places the Special Forces Operator in an optimal ergonomic position will be developed for use in small Maritime Combatant Craft. It will feature an actively controlled shock absorber to optimize the suspension for abroad range of operator weights and sea… more
Abstract:"Active Signal Technologies proposes to develop an active noise reduction (ANR) stethoscope that will enable detection and discrimination of heart and breathing sounds in the high noise environment of a UH-60 BlackHawk helicopter. We will enhance ourdirect contact sensor technology, which already… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Active Signal Technologies, in partnership with the Brain Attack Team of the University of Maryland Medical Center, proposes to refine and test a novel portable, non-invasive system that will enable rapid identification of stroke. Approximately 750,000 people… more

There are several categories such as “By Agency”, “By Year”, “By State” etc.
Select a checkbox within a category to refine your search results.
Each of your selections is listed in the “Narrow Search Filters” bar. You can uncheck these selections to remove them.
Search for Either Criteria
When you select multiple values within a category, the results will include values that match either of the selections.
For example, selecting “2005” and “2007” in the “By Year” category will display results that include either 2005 OR 2007 in the results.
Narrowing the Search Results
You can refine your search results across categories. To narrow down your results, select multiple values across different categories. The results will only include values that match the selections across the categories.
For example, selecting “2005” in the “By Year” category and “NASA” in the “By Agency” category will only display the results that contain both “2005” AND “NASA” in the results.
