The SBIR.gov award data files now contain the required fields to calculate award timeliness for individual awards or for an agency or branch. Additional information on calculating award timeliness is available on the Data Resource Page.

  1. Wave Energy Harvesting System

    SBC: Peregrine Power LLC            Topic: 812SG

    Peregrine Power, LLC will develop a wave energy harvesting system for NOAA buoys. It will be entirely self-contained (no protruding elements), modular, scalable, and easily deployed. The system employs a unique, inertial mechanism that responds to acceleration forces created by waves. This mechanism will be combined with (1) a proprietary generator that is sensitive to very low levels of torque ...

  2. Development of an Efficient On-Farm Fertilizer Manufacturing System Utilizing a Pulsed Microwave Air to Nitric Oxide Plasma Reactor Powered

    SBC: N-OVATION, INC.            Topic: 812

    Until early in the 20th century, nitrate fertilizer was manufactured by the electric arc process using water, air, and cheap hydroelectric power. Because this electric arc process was extremely inefficient, by the 1930s the process was replaced by the Haber-Bosch ammonia process which utilizes natural gas to manufacture nitrogen fertilizer in the form of ammonia. Not only does the Haber-Bosch proc ...

  3. Hybrid Poplar Breeding for Improved Water use Efficiency for Short Rotation Tree Farming Under Semi-Arid Conditions

    SBC: GREENWOOD RESOURCES, INC.            Topic: 81

    GreenWood Resources proposes to develop hybrid poplar growing stock of improved water-use efficiency using a strategy of species selection, inter-specific hybridization, and varietal selection. The proposed work will lead to an increase in the cost-efficiency of current sawlog production and future biomass production at GreenWood's Boardman Tree Farm. Improvement in the physiology of varietal ...

  9. MEMBRANE-BASED PROCESS FOR DEBITTERING CITRUS JUICE

    SBC: BEND RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: N/A

    A MAJOR PROBLEM IN THE CITRUS INDUSTRY WORLD-WIDE IS THE FORMATION OF BITTERNESS IN CITRUS JUICES WITHIN HOUR AFTER EXTRACTION FROM THE FRUIT. THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF THE "DELAYED BITTERNESS" IS THE FORMATION OF AN INTENSELY BITTERGROUP OF COMPOUNDS CALLED LIMONOIDS, PRINCIPALLY LIMONIN ANDNOMILIN. MUCH RESEARCH HAD BEEN DIRECTED TOWARD FINDING MEANS TO PRE-VENT THE FORMATION OF LIMONIN PRECURSORS PR ...
