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 ...

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 ...

Abstract/Summaryrd th Potatoes are the 3 most consumed crop in the world and the 4 most produced crop in theUnited States with a sales volume of $3B. Owing to a limited harvest window a yearly supply ofpotatoes requires successful long-term storage. Growth of sprouts is a key driver of loss duringstorage and sprout growth worsens as storage periods lengthen. Losses from sprouting areespecially pro ...

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 ...

New Opportunity for Small Farmers: Automated High Density Mealworm Farming toImprove Food Security in the Face of Pandemics / COVID-19Our mission is to offer a robust alternative to the unsustainable unstable food supply for animalprotein in the face of pandemics such as COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus). This projectwill provide profitable technology solutions to small and mid-sized mealworm farm ...

Abstract/SummaryEach year in the United States nearly half of all fruits and vegetables grown will go towaste. Crop loss is an especially pressing issue for berry growers where short postharvest shelf- life due to fungal infection plagues the industry. Despite these challenges consumer demand forberries has grown steadily over the past decades to an annual market value of $7.1 billion. Thisproject ...

Despite a growing demand hydroponic production methodologies are still relatively new andpose financial risks for the small to mid-size farms struggling to become profitable enterprises.Hydroponic farm equipment such as controlled environment agriculture (CEA) greenhouses andhydroponic systems are very expensive. For example the foundation structure and installationcosts for a standard gutter-conn ...
