Abstract:Development of an advanced composite bipolar plate is proposed for a unitized regenerative fuel cell and electrolyzer system that operates on pure feed streams (H2/O2 and water, respectively). The composite bipolar plate can greatly simplify "closed-loop" unitized fuel cell/electrolyzer power… more
Abstract:The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will develop a novel, Dimensionally Stable Ionomer Membrane (DSMTM) that offers high ionic conductivity, good ion exclusion capability, and excellent mechanical properties. The most advanced chlor-alkali electrolyzers utilize an… more
Company:Goleta Star LLCAgency/Program/Year/Phase:DOD / SBIR / 2007 / 1
Abstract:Goleta Star LLC with support from academia, Quinstar and other supporting businesses proposes to develop an Ultra-Light Interlaced Active Electronically Steerable Antennas (ULI-AESA) at two frequencies to support dual shared aperture usage. There are a number of alternative solutions that will be… more
Abstract:The proposed work addresses the problem of determining whether a given small unmanned ground vehicle (SUGV) can traverse a given terrain, when the state of both the SUGV and the terrain are not known exactly. In our previous work, we developed computational models of an Army-relevant tracked… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Manual therapies are currently used to treat a number of conditions that result in altered cutaneous sensation. One way that has been used to assess the effect of manual therapies in such conditions has been to evaluate
any changes in sensation before and after… more
Abstract:A vision and first steps towards a tightly integrated easy-to-use software system capable of experimental and analytical characterization of vibrations in modern turbo-machinery bladed rotors are presented in this proposal. A number of technologies needed to develop such a system already exist in… more
Abstract:perform Vertical Seismic Profiling (VSP) and passive seismic monitoring. However, this technology is very expensive to apply. Drilling a new well or taking a valuable well out of service is costly, as is VSP data acquisition and processing. Consequently, the technology is seldom used, and, hence,… more
Abstract:This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I research project tests the feasibility of creating a web-based system to provide intellectual property and technology transfer services to Limited Resource Institutions (LRIs) that are actively engaged in quality research. In 1980, Congress passed the… more
Abstract:The Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) engine will be capable of performing on-board fault detection, isolation, and prognosis. The engine will include a variety of advanced sensor components and processing strategies expressly tailored for prognostics and health monitoring (PHM) that have not been… more
Abstract:Welding is one of the most important aspects of shipbuilding. Welds are one of the largest labor and material components in ship delivery. Also, the effect of even a single weld failure can be catastrophic to the ship's performance and to crew safety. In spite of its key role, welding in the… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): For complex protein mixtures such as cell lysates or sera containing thousands of proteins, 2-D polyacrylamide gel-electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) is the standard method used to isolate individual low-abundance proteins for i
dentification and quantitative analysis.… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Presbyopia is the loss of accommodation with age and industry efforts to provide surgical correction for presbyopia are vigorously underway as the potential market for such a product is substantial. Strategies include l
ens refilling, scleral treatments, and,… more
Abstract:Nickel nanostrands have demonstrated their laboratory scale worth in creating highly conductive and electromagnetically shielding composites, polymers adhesives, coatings and paints. The objectives of this SBIR will be to concentrate on the effort to deliver a commercially viable electromagnetically… more
Abstract:Nuclear fusion has the potential to satisfy the prodigious power that the world will demand in the future, but it has yet to be harnessed as a practical energy source. The main challenge is to identify an economical way to provide for the confinement and heating of the plasma fuel. The massive… 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.
