Abstract:NASA¿s Origin Program strategic plans call for direct imaging optical telescopes to evolve from 8 to 30 to 100 meter apertures by 2025. Indirect measurements using long baseline interferometers require Angstrom level precision for long durations. High data rate communications for spatial… more
Abstract:The cryogenic and ambient telescopes proposed by NASA have one thing in common; imaging extra-solar planets demand large deformable mirrors (>10,000 channels) to achieve the high-resolution imaging. The system does not need high-speed and large strokes but will require a large channel count in the… more
Abstract:We propose the Integrated Large-Aperture Zonal Meniscus as an evolutionary advance that will form the basis for our revolutionary Photonex Telescope vision. It features a continuous meniscus mirror with integrated zonal actuation intended for space-based, large mirror applications where weight,… more
Abstract:Conventional adaptive optics systems employed to compensate wavefront errors introduced by atmospheric index of refraction variations are limited to correcting relatively small turbulence errors due to the physical limitations of the corrective devicesavailable. A high density deformable mirror… more

Abstract:Radioisotopes used for prostate cancer treatment are predominately photon/gamma-emitters (I-125, Pd-103, Ir-192). Both temporary and permanent gamma-emitting radioseeds have gained acceptance for interstitial implantation in the prostate. Due to greater tissue penetration, however, gamma radiation… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (Verbatim from the Applicant's Abstract): Bedside radiography is
one of the few fields of radiology in which there is no commercially viable
means of controlling scattered radiation. This is due to the difficulty in
aligning the focal spot with an anti-scatter… more
Abstract:This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will meet the demand from the microelectronics industry for an improved micro x-ray fluorescence instrument for thin film measurements. A new technique, monochromatic micro x-ray fluorescence (MMXRF) analysis using doubly curved crystal… more

Abstract:This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will address improved wafer contamination analysis in the microelectronics industry. Phase I will examine a new technique called focused beam total reflection x-ray fluorescence (TXRF). Based on point-focusing toroidal crystal optics,… more
Abstract:60740 Conventional X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) analysis, used in DOE environmental management operations, is usually performed off-site and cannot provide sufficient detection sensitivity for certain types of materials. In-situ applications are difficult because such systems are bulky,… more

Abstract:Xtrana, Incorporated over the past five years has been developing a strategy for the capture of nucleic acid of microbial pathogens onto a proprietary Xtra Bind matrix, amplifying specific target sequences using isothermal amplification chemistries, followed by immediate visual detection by lateral… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Nanotechnology can potentially transform
molecular diagnostics from its current state of manual procedures or expensive
equipment to routine, low cost assays for a broad range of microbial and
cellular panels. As an initial step,… 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.
