Abstract:Currently the construction of complex aircraft structures such as the skeleton within a wing is extremely time consuming and expensive. Traditionally these structures are assemblies of sheet metal parts, machined parts and composite parts, which are bonded and riveted together. Replacing an… more
Abstract:This proposal is to develop the acoustic source detection and localization algorithms identified as optimal in Phase I into a wearable prototype that integrates a networked sensor array, digital audio processing, position and orientation tracking of the wearer, and aural/visual displays of the… more
Abstract:Research in visualization of multi-int data to improve the fusion process has taken recently taken on multiple approaches. In particular, link analysis diagrams have become popular for visualizing relationships between friendly, threat, unknown and NGA entities. Link analysis diagrams, while… more
Abstract:The SBIR team proposes the continued development and enhancement of a comprehensive, robust, unified Trajectory Management System (TMS). This system features a novel trajectory design methodology integrated with an innovative on-line aerodynamic identification architecture. The trajectory design… more
Abstract:It is estimated the economic impact (medical, damage, and pesticide costs) of imported fire ants in the infested southern states is in excess of $1 billion annually. Additionally, approximately 30% of all people in the infested regions are stung on an annual basis. Detection of imported fire ants is… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Blind and visually impaired people do not have full access to the technology offered by cellular telephones today. Most cell phones rely upon visual displays to relay or communicate information. The lack of a text-to-speech program integrated into cellular… more
Abstract:The objective of this project is to commercialize the Dual Band Extended Depth of Field Telescope System that is an innovative optical detection and imaging system that allows battlefield imaging through smoke, dust and fog obscurants in the 10 micron wavelength range. The system employs a dual band… more
Abstract:Development of a proof of concept prototype to offer automated DAISY production to audio book producers, and enable them to produce inexpensively fully synchronized text and audio books
Abstract:A tethered rapelling robot system, dubbed SPIDAR, will be built and tested, capable of use in collapsed urban environments for civil-defense and search-and-rescue and reconnaissance applications. The design is based on a modular and payload/marsupial-capable design optimized for use in environments… more
Abstract:This SBIR proposal consists of three (3) related research efforts. Research effort 1 will focus on further development of the configurable running gear / shape shifting track concept as started by ASI during the Phase I award. Research effort 2 will focus on the development and completion of the… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant):
The time lapse 3D microscope imaging of living cells is widely used in many biomedical research areas. This technique potentially generates hundreds of image volumes in a single experiment, which are critical to the visualization and quantification of… more
Abstract:75661S The production of hydrogen fuel from renewable resources such as solar and wind in distributed-generation, small-scale applications would provide an environmentally-benign, truly sustainable transportation fuel supply. But before this can be achieved, the hydrogen generating systems must… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The bacterium, Campylobacter jejuni, is a major cause of diarrheal illness in both the developed and developing world. It is estimated that Campylobacter may affect as many as 400 million people and cause 14 percent of all diarrheal cases worldwide. There is… more
Abstract:A microphone phased array machinery fault diagnostic system is proposed. In this system, a microphone phased array is positioned such as to have a direct line of sight to the machine to be monitored. The microphone signals are recorded simultaneously and used to scan or beamform over a grid… 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.
