Abstract:This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project seeks to develop and prove the feasibility of realizing high-voltage, high-power density Solid-State Fault Current Limiter (SSFCL) technology utilizing Silicon Carbide (SiC) thyristors. The proposed fault current detection and limitation… more
Abstract:In Phase I, APEI, Inc. proved the feasibility of developing a modular, expandable and fault tolerant SiC-based power system through the successful demonstration of a four-module SiC-based power system capable of dynamic reconfiguration allowing the system to continue delivering power to the load… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The built environment can promote health by meeting the behavioral needs of residents in long-term care settings. Spending even moderate amounts of time outdoors can potentially benefit mental and physical health by increasing activity levels and providing… more
Abstract:In the proposed work we will investigate the THz properties of a slab waveguide made from a GaP or ZnGeP2 wafer. We plan to investigate how the width of a slab waveguide will affect the output power of the THz waves and normalized conversion efficiencies. We are particularly interested in the… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Approximately 800,000 persons in the U.S. suffer an acute stroke each year. There presently is no neuroprotective agent that can be given to patients with acute stroke, and stroke is the third leading cause of death. The costs for rehabilitation of patients that… more

Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There are over 40 lysosomal storage disorders, and most of these diseases affect adversely the central nervous system (CNS). The mainstay of treatment of the lysosomal storage disorders is enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). However, ERT is not effective for the… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Civilian populations are at risk for exposure to chemical nerve gas agents such as organophosphates (OPs). These compounds affect both the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS is affected because the OPs are lipid-soluble… more
Abstract:The objective of this SBIR Phase I program is to develop innovative lightweight mine-protected fastener design concepts as well as evaluate and identify potential off the shelf high performance metallic or composite fasteners to incorporate into the design. The success of the design will be… more
Abstract:Potentially insufficient corn stock supplies make necessary the development of industrial yeast strains for converting alternative cellulosic materials for renewable fuel sources. This project investigates the feasibility and develops the capability of using Holographic Optical Trapping as an… more
Abstract:Tests conducted during Phase I of this SBIR project demonstrated that the Stolkraft hull form showed promise for motion reduction, which may result in less injurious effects on high speed craft occupants. However, side-by-side tests were not conducted during Phase I with a similar capacity and… more
Abstract:The goal of this project is to provide a tool for developing an accurate model of the shipboard electrical installation and transitioning the design information to production requirements. The SEA-Pro project integrates existing affordable COTS software packages, [specifically ShipConstructor ship… more
Abstract:The Art Anderson Associates team will develop a Portable Autonomous TEU Transfer System (PATTS), which will be used in conjunction with a Container carrying USV (CSV), to enable the autonomous movement of containers from ship to shore.
Abstract:The CONREP Crane telescopes out from a side access on the military guide ship and reaches out and rests on the flight deck of the approach ship. This allows the cargo weight to be shared between the two vessels. This also virtually eliminates the relative height changes of the crane over the decks… 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.
