20130053800 | WOUND EXUDATE REMOVAL AND ISOLATOIN SYSTEM - A wound exudate removal and isolation system includes a porous dressing, a canister in fluid communication with the dressing, and a first valve positioned between the dressing and the canister. The first valve is positionable between an open position and a closed position. A disposal line is fluidly connected to the canister and includes a second valve that is positionable between an open position and a closed position. A pump is fluidly connected to the canister and is configured to draw wound exudate from the dressing into the canister when the first valve is open and the second valve is closed. The pump is configured to force wound exudate from the canister into the disposal line when the first valve is closed and the second valve is open. | 02-28-2013 |

20140067748 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OCEAN OBJECT DETECTION - System and method for discriminating buried clutter from munitions through exploitation of unique clutter/target signatures and characteristics detected from advanced acoustic and magnetic sensors. | 03-06-2014 |
20140277864 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NAVIGATION FOR UNMANNED UNDERSEA VEHICLES - System and method for navigating an unmanned undersea vehicle (UUV) using three-dimensional acoustic reflectivity data sets and a beam steered downward looking sonar capturing sub-bottom features and creating three-dimensional representations to compare with the reflectivity data sets to general navigation corrections. Acoustically senses and exploits sub-bottom features for navigation of UUVs that can provide more reliable navigation than using surface features alone, since much of the sea floor is flat (e.g. on continental shelves and abyssal plains). | 09-18-2014 |
