ORBIS proposes to Address SBIR DLA171-002 by developing efficient and effective processes to reverse engineer RPPOB Candidate Items. ORBIS has a wealth of experience in supporting DoD systems and components and is well suited to addressing the backlog of unsupported equipment .

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project is to significantly increase the efficiency and reduce operating costs for water produced by membrane-based desalination. Water scarcity is an increasingly important global-scale issue that has significant negative impacts on health, security and economies. Recent forecasts show a dramatic increase in ...

In order to improve the cybersecurity of HPC system, it is essential to develop software tools that enable continuous monitoring of the security status of the system in real-time, so that the effectiveness of current security control can be evaluated- Despite substantial work has been proposed for continuous monitoring in the desktop network, e-g-, Ipost, FireMon Security Manager and Tenable Secur ...

Polymer-electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel-cells are one of the most promising energy conversion technologies for renewable clean energy applications- A major challenge preventing the widespread use and commercialization of PEM fuel cells is achieving high performance with low-loadings of platinum group metal (PGM) catalysts- One of the factors driving performance limitations in the cell is the mass ...

This SBIR Phase I proposal to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), requests funding for Form Fit and Function, LLC, a small disadvantaged, HUBZone Certified Business, to perform research in the development of an SAR package for NSN 3020-01-560-8493, Pulley, Groove.F3's proven experience in manufacturing and SAR package development, give F3 an advantage in development and decreases Government risk. ...

Tetramer Technologies, a specialty materials research company, aims to develop a more robust elastomer material for cushioned clamps used by the Navy. Cushioned clamps serve an important role in securing hydraulic, fuel, and electrical lines in Navy aircraft. The existing cushions have shown sporadic and unreliable breakdown in use, despite being rated to a rigorous MIL standard. Tetramer proposes ...

Approximately 70% of sentinel events in medical care are related to communication mishaps, and despite regular and frequent occurrence, an even higher percentage (80%) of severe medical errors are related to miscommunication during handoffs (i.e., the transferring of information, responsibility, and authority for patient care from one provider to another). The TiER1 team proposes to address challe ...

The goal of this SBIR project is to develop a scalable additive manufacturing technology for large area, multiple layer printed circuit boards and innovative novel micro-pattern gaseous detector (MPGD) architectures based on our proprietary confined electro-plating 3D printer to fabricate high conductivity copper features at room temperature. One of the key advantages of this technology is 3-D fab ...

Bioethanol has come into widespread use as fuel additives worldwide, especially in the U.S. and Brazil, aiming to mitigate CO2 emissions by up to 70% and sustain the carbon-neutral ecosystem. Generally, bioethanol in various fermentation broths has a maximum concentration of 6-8 wt.%. Hence, concentration of bioethanol from dilute streams poses a grand challenge from the standpoint of energy effic ...

During this Phase II SBIR development program, Tetramer Technologies will develop highlymonodisperse 100-nm and sub-100-nm diameter nanoparticles for use as latex size standards. Highlymonodisperse nanoparticle latexes are needed for improved calibration of electron microscopes, lightscatteringparticle sizing instruments, atomic force microscopes, and particle counters/contamination monitors used ...
