In a previous National Science Foundation SBIR project, the developer created an online platform that uses songs to support mathematical learning. In the current project, the team will develop a prototype of a component of a platform to guide students in creating and producing their own music videos about algebra. The prototype will include a video production application, features to enhance learn ...

Check-in Check-out (CICO) is a widely used behavioral intervention for elementary and middle schools centered on goals, feedback, and communication with parents about daily behavioral performance. This project will develop a prototype platform to streamline and automate the delivery of CICO. The prototype will include an app, a user-friendly interface, and a dashboard to track progress and capture ...

GTL has identified an innovative architecture for KV Divert and Attitude Control System (DACS). Instead of mounting a set of liquid propellant tanks around a central structural mast as done in conventional storable liquid DACS, the Compact Modular DACS uses an innovative configuration for propellant storage. The CMDACS architecture has increased volumetric efficiency that will increase the kinemat ...

Using modern additive manufacturing technology, GTL proposes to develop a geometry based thermal management system to enable the development of a Morphing Rocket Throat. With this capability, rocket motors will be able to achieve the same type of throttling provided by pintle nozzles, but without the complexity and mass of a pintle. In the Phase I effort, GTL and UTK will develop a conceptual desi ...

The electronics onboard a missile-defense interceptor must operate in a harsh environment and reach high temperatures due to aero-heating, self-heating, and/or proximity to a propulsion system. These high temperatures degrade electrical performance and weaken the ability to withstand mechanical and chemical stresses. Conventional silicon-based electronics fail above a certain temperature whereby r ...

Active defects negatively impact the performance of IRFPAs by increasing noise at various levels up to, and including, catastrophic degradation. Evidence indicates that"killer defects"are related to the interaction of open core screw dislocations with impurities that remain after substrate preparation, prior to HgCdTe growth. This impurity diffusion creates a conducting channel that shorts the j ...

In prior research and development, the project team developed LiveSchool, an online platform to track student behavior. With this Phase I funding, the team will develop and test a prototype of an administrator dashboard. The dashboard will generate reports on individual student behavior patterns across classes and on the prevalence of behavioral issues across different teachers. The dashboard will ...

eSpin Technologies will develop a new advanced liquid electrolyte separator for Li ion batteries which has the potential of having a significantly higher volumetric efficiency for electrolyte storage capacity and kinetics to distribute electrolyte flow within nanoporous channel efficiently.This new separator will be based on an advanced nanofiber construct with increased porosity and smaller poros ...

An opportunity exists to design and fabricate microelectronic components that are inherently radiation hardened and require no radiation protection methods. International FemtoScience (FemtoSci) proposes a practical solution to produce Inherently Radiation Hardened Microelectronic Components by employing diamond emitter vacuum device technology. These components have demonstrated that diamond emis ...
