This project builds upon previous research to develop and deploy the Assistant, an enabling technology for accessible web automation for people with visual disabilities. Web automation, as embodied in the Assistant, automates many of the repetitive low-level actions such as form filling and activating controls (such as clicking on buttons and links) that one has to do in typical browsing tasks suc ...

As a natural extension of the Phase I results, novel laser LWIR transmitters will be developed, demonstrated, and delivered to support development of next generation point and local area proximal standoff sensors based on newly demonstrated phenomenologies to simultaneously detect biological particles, chemical vapors, and chemical aerosols with a single device. The transmitters will feature rapid ...

Video Demonstration of the Phase I Prototype: http://youtu.be/P74Z5oNAo4c Purpose: This project will develop and test Kiko's Thinking Time, a series of game apps designed to strengthen children's cognitive skills related to executive functioning and reasoning. A principle objective of preschool is to prepare children for later success in school. Most programs focus on activities to support childr ...

Video Demonstration of the Phase I Prototype: http://youtu.be/AIGigEXn12Q Purpose: This project team will develop and test Zaption, a mobile and desktop platform designed to support educators in effectively and efficiently utilizing video (e.g., from YouTube, Vimeo, or their own desktop) as an interactive teaching and learning object. Personalized learning devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets) pop ...

The integrated Cheetah Traks and Virtual Inertial Navigation System (V-INS) units will create a denied GPS navigation system capable of tracking unit locations and maintain that accuracy across a range of dynamics and environmental conditions. The target system is targeted to contain less than four components (IMU, computer, communication unit and display) and adds minimal weight to the user.

Electronic Waste is the fastest growing waste stream in the US. Significant amounts are recoverable for reuse, resale, and refining for precious metals. The disassemblers send circuit boards to refiners/smelters for precious metals recovery. E-Waste disassemblers remove parts from these circuit boards, so only certain parts are smelted. As such they are the key market for our depopulator. Refiners ...

This Small Business Innovation Research project will develop a non-animal based in vitro assay for determining the efficacy of Botulinum (BoNT) neutralizing therapeutics. New technologies are currently needed in order to facilitate the development and approval of BoNT vaccines and therapies and reduce the number of vertebrate animals used in medical testing. In Phase 1 of this project, the feasibi ...

The final product will include a suite of three app-based puzzle games aligned to national math standards for number sense, algebraic thinking, and problem solving. The games will be designed for use in grade 5 and 6 classrooms where students develop and apply content expertise to solving challenges. The games will include an adaptive engine that assesses and adjusts content based on student level ...

The primary goal of the preceding Phase I program was to demonstrate the feasibility of developing commercially viable products from our technological innovation that enables unprecedentedly high energy efficiency generation of super-intense EUV-x-ray beams via Metastable Innershell Molecular State. We have successfully met the Phase I goal by demonstrating the feasibility, and are now ready for f ...

"It is our objective to develop a cost effective, durable and reliable hydrogen-bromine flow battery system for small-scale electrical energy storage applications. H2/Br2 flow battery technology has been around for decades, however, the lack of low-cost and durable electrode and membrane materials in addition to non-optimal cell/stack configurations have prevented this technology from widespread d ...
