How Glass SCMs Solve the Market Need. The process of producing cement has remained unchanged since the industrial revolution. Concrete producers need a new high performing cement alternative to lower their concrete products' cost and embodied carbon. Otherwise, we will be building our future communities using a process with the environmental and financial costs of 1820s technology. This project wi ...

The objective of this Phase II SBIR proposal is to continue the design and qualification efforts for a single-axis accelerometer (NSN 6610-00-151-6684) and perform detailed design and qualification activities for a Torque Motor (NSN 6105-01-326-8652). During Phase II, Kaney will utilize in-house manufacturing and analysis capabilities to produce drawings and manufacturing/qualification plans for t ...

This proposal follows the DLA SBIR Phase 1 Contract SP4701-21-P-0075. It seeks resources to move to Phase 2 so that the lessons learned and data developed in Phase 1 will further expand on the solution, including the field demonstration for replacing the plastic packaging in food service with the biodegradable Cellulosic Bio-Polymer (CBP) packaging to address military needs. Phase 1 was a great le ...

This Phase II project seeks to develop a method for the recycling of rare earth zirconate thermal barrier coatings (TBCs). Thermal barrier coatings are crucial to the function and performance of military aircraft engines, as they influence the operating temperatures and environments for the aircrafts. There are currently two main types of established thermal barrier coating materials, yttria-stabi ...

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) constitute some of the most important advanced materials utilized in military aircraft applications. The elevated operating temperatures, enhanced abilities to resist adverse environmental conditions, and increased fuel efficiencies of modern aircraft engines are all related to improvements in thermal barrier coatings. These improvements in TBC behavior and performa ...

The project focuses on supporting the US Navy’s fleet of critical assets containing components that are either no longer readily available or produced by the US Government molding shops at high cost. American Energy Technologies Co. (AETC) of Arlington Heights, Illinois, will re-design, modernize, and manufacture several of these parts in-house by reverse-engineering the legacy technology transf ...

The primary objective of this Phase II proposal is to perform the tasks necessary to develop TDP’s via RE techniques and SAR packages to maintain these critical components to meet the needs of our Warfighters. The overall objective of this effort is to improve product availability for current and legacy weapons systems, provide competition for reduced lead times and costs, and address lifecycle ...

The focus of this SBIR project is to design, develop and deliver a manufacturable current transformer to replace the obsolete legacy transformer that is currently in use in the B-52. During the Phase I and Phase I Option periods of the project, Kaney successfully reverse-engineered the legacy transformer and designed and built a demonstration replacement transformer to meet form, fit and function ...

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and the United States Air Force (USAF) are interested in a new design that overcomes obsolescence and repair issues associated with Auxiliary Power Supply (APS) units used in aerospace hydraulic systems. The need for alternative suppliers for aftermarket and obsolete components is critical to maintaining mission readiness and capability for several legacy weapons ...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent chemicals that have been introduced to the environment through manufacturing, use, and disposal of products containing PFAS. The U.S. EPA has issued a lifetime drinking water Health Advisory Level (HAL) for the perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorosulfonic acid (PFOS), two of the more than 3,000 PFAS compo ...
