The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project will be to provide the refrigerant industry with the first commercial designs for separating complex, multi-component, azeotropic refrigerant mixtures for economical recycling. The American Innovation and Manufacturing Act authorizes the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to phase down prod ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) project is to develop a new, non-rocket based thrust technology capable of removing debris from space. This project will provide two separate business models including hardware fabrication and testing, and active orbital debris removal services. Six Department of Defense (DoD) and National Oceanic Atmospheric ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is to enhance honey bee health and hence crop production through the development of a biological treatment for Varroa destructor mite, the greatest single cause of honey bee decline. All honey bee colonies in the U.S. (greater than2.5 million) are infested with parasitic Varroa destructor mites which cause devasta ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase 1 project is to develop a targeted biological pesticide for the control of pythium pathogens in the hydroponic greenhouse production of leafy greens. Fresh market production of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, lettuce, and spinach is shifting to hydroponic greenhouse operations because these operations are ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project relates to the development of a novel system capable of measuring medical equipment utilization with high accuracy and scalability. This innovation will arm healthcare technology managers with the insights needed to optimize inventory size and composition according to actual patient needs, the ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II project involves continued development of technology to extend the therapeutic window of cell-based tissue regeneration therapies. This technology could significantly enhance the scientific understanding of cellular therapies and enable the healing of injuries more rapidly and less invasively than current techniques. A s ...

Machine learning algorithms have demonstrated performance on par with or superior to human analysts on large datasets when sufficient training data is available.  For military applications obtaining sufficient, truthed data is always a challenge.  Three approaches have been used for measured data collections to support sensor exploitation programs: coordinated collections, turntable measurements ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II project is to develop a novel technology for the early detection of complications and effective management of kidney disease at home. More than 37 million patients in the US have chronic kidney disease, which is associated with increased mortality and morbidity, including a greater risk of cardiovasc ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is to improve clinical outcomes for patients with wearable biosensor needs.This project will develop wearable continuous glucose biosensor platforms to address a broad set of disease and wellness applications, such as measuring additional molecules relevant to diabetes management, improving ma ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project seeks to reduce complications due to trauma. Current traumatic injury treatments are systemic and untargeted with unwanted side effects and low efficacy. The proposed project will develop a sustained-release, biodegradable, nanoparticle drug delivery system for treatment of soft tissue trauma ...
