INTERACTIVE CD ROM FOR CHILDREN WITH DIABETES

Not Available Exposure to poisonous gas or biological agents is a real threat for US soldiers. Therefore it's imperative that they have adequate protection against these and other agents. Gas masks can provide this protection, but only if they produce pressures high enough to effectively seal against the face, but not so high as to produce a level of discomfort that discourages their use. In this Phase I project, Bonneville Scientific, Inc. will establish the feasibility of the proposed sensor construction and installation techniques suitable for covering a human-like headform worth arrays or robust, yet sensitive force/pressure sensors. These arrays will use BSIs ultrasonic pulse-echo ranging technology to achieve important advantages over other technologies, such as resistive-in-based sensors. Part or Phase I will be to identify potential techniques for calibrating the Phase II head pressure analysis software. In the Phase I Option period, BSI will settleseveral key issues in order to allow a smooth transition into the Phase II construction of the head pressure analysis system.BENEFITS: The proposed robust head pressure analysis system will aid the Army in developing effective, more comfortable head-mounted individual protective equipment. Commercial applications will include measuring pressures produced by ski goggles, helmet - headset earcups, helmet suspensions, and dynamictesting of crash helmets in order to improve the effectiveness and comfort of these devices.
