The Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will develop new standardization protocols and methodology for preconcentration, preparative-scale separation, and catalytic conversion of CH4 contained in mixtures of atmospheric gases for carbon-14 (14CCH4), carbon-13 (?13CCH4), and hydrogen-2 (?2HCH4) isotopic tracing. The approach addresses challenges with safely performing gas conversion ...

Methane is one of the most potent greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, with various anthropogenic factors increasing its prevalence. Methane has 28 times greater heating capacity than carbon dioxide and its atmospheric concentration has increased roughly from 800 parts-per-billion (ppb) in the early 1900s to an alarming 1800 ppb in 2016. With approximately 3.2 million abandoned wells in the US, mit ...

Robust collaboration is needed between different agents in various Unmanned Aerial/Ground Systems (UxS).  ML/AI development has enabled development of a graph neural network (GNN)-based swarm control algorithm.  Clostra’s GNN-Swarm uses a GNN framework for mapping relationships between all members of a UxS swarm, and deep reinforcement learning (DRL) for organizing, training, optimizing, and ...

For this Phase I SBIR project, Vcom3D will research and design a modular Mixed Reality (MR) medical manikin training system that builds on the Modular Healthcare Simulation and Education System (MoHSES) specifications and open-source resources. We will develop and demonstrate a proof-of-concept Mixed Reality Trainer for Female Combat Casualty Care (MRT-FC3) system that shows the concept of operati ...
