This proposal addresses the destruction of airborne toxic industrial material (TIM), hazardous and anthropogenic particles and other micro-organisms. The key element in our novel and potentially highly efficient non-thermal plasma production technique,already demonstrated in our Phase I SBIR… More

As circuits have become more densely packed, more energy efficient and able to operate at higher speeds, they have experienced an associated increase in vulnerability and susceptibility to perturbations from electromagnetic radiation. Super Pulse proposesto develop a novel, very fast (order of a… More

Decontamination is a process through which dangerous chemicals and microorganisms, including vegetative cells, spores and viruses, are rendered harmless. Conventional technologies such as new-generation of HEPA filters provide reasonable protection for acertain amount of time. However, HEPA… More

Super Pulse proposes to develop a new technology for forward-deployed forces to recover from a bio-chemical terrorist attack. The proposed technology offers an efficient decontamination (neutralization) of chemical and biological warfare (CBW) agents onsurfaces and in open-wounds of casualties… More

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will assist in the development of an innovative method for effective and low cost destruction and removal of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), specifically Halogenated Volatile Organic Compounds (HVOCs), using non-thermal plasma generated… More

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to research and develop a novel, reliable, and affordable technology for effective sterilization of dental handpieces at room temperature. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that these delicate instruments be heat-sterilized between… More

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project proposes to research and develop a novel, reliable, affordable, technology for effective decontamination/ sterilization of medical waste. The technology is based on an air/gas sterilant produced in a non-thermal plasma source powered by… More

This SBIR Phase II research develops a novel, reliable, affordable, technology for effective decontamination/sterilization of medical waste. The technology is based on an air/gas sterilant produced in a non-thermal plasma source powered by a standard microwave oven magnetron. The simplicity and… More

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to research and develop a novel, reliable, and affordable technology for effective sterilization of Dental Handpieces (DH) at room temperature. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that these del icate instruments be heat- sterilized… More

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Approximately two million burn injury cases require medical attention on a yearly basis in the United States alone, with 20,000 of these cases requiring admission to specialized burn centers. One of the foremost causesof morbidity and mortality in the burn… More
