#4 We learn in EMS that "all bleeding eventually stops".

#5 I Know that cauterization stops bleding, at first glance this sems to be an ultrasonic "Hot Spot" similar to usig a red hot knife tip.

Sounds very good.

#6 Nice to see them come up with something. DARPA has been BLEEDING the American taxpayer for years!

#8 All things are Star Trek. Doncha remember when Chekov fell on the US aircraft carrier (yes, they did the old bend around the sun, go back in time routine) and was about to be operated on, then bones comes in, calls all the doctors butchers/savages, places a device on Chekov's forehead and he is A-ok in about 30 seconds.

Had to be the same thing, albeit more powerful and, no doubt, more neatly packaged.

So where is the transparent aluminum?

#9 Besoeker, DARPA has initiated a lot of stuff that is saving soldier lives in theater today. The more publicly-known programs include the Predator and Global Hawk UAVs and their sensor payloads.

#11 Thanks Steve. Like I said, if you want to see the future, look at Star Trek. And here is a tidbit for Justice...there aren't any muslims on Star Trek!

#12 Poor, dear Justice. The gentleman just didn't inspire kindness.

#13 I can remember working with a dozen things that came from DARPA, but haven't been declassified yet. DARPA is full of tricks, and only a few of them are medical.

#14 "..there aren't any muslims on Star Trek.. unless they were the Red Shirted Crewman."

#15 My limited experience with DARPA and Advanced Concept Tech Demo's (ACTD) didn't give me many warm and fuzzies. If they've done well in the UAV area, I'll give them that Lotp.

#16 That's why it's called the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
