Refrigerants are known to have harmful impacts on the environment. It is essential that those that are particularly harmful with a high global warming potential (GWP) are recovered correctly for proper recycling or disposal. Unfortunately, all too often, refrigerant is not properly recovered either due to system failure, technician error, or unincentivized industry practice. With implementation of ...

Ensemble intends to develop a proof-of concept Neutral Density Monitoring and Alert Service. To establish an innovative and accurate space weather analytics service, Ensemble has partnered with CU Boulder's SWx-TREC, who offer leading space weather research-to-operations support. Ensemble will create the foundational architecture for Neutral Density Alerts and Notifications for commercial satellit ...

Anthropogenic Radio-Frequency Interference (RFI), or interference from human-generated sources, continues to plague spaceborne microwave radiometer and sounder instruments. Unmitigated RFI adversely affects the quality and reliability of Earth remote sensing data used for determining water availability, quality, and risk. Proliferation of wireless technologies, Earth-orbiting commercial satellite ...

Hypersonic aerial vehicles have tailored aerodynamic shapes with sharp leading edges to maximize performance. When a vehicle is travelling through the atmosphere at hypersonic speeds of Mach 5 or higher, it encounters intense friction with the surrounding air. The nose cone and the leading edges of the flight vehicle will experience extremely high temperatures from 3000°F to 5000°F. Ultra-High T ...

NIST Advanced Communications and Communications Technology Laboratory/RF Technology Division's focus area is on the next-generation wireless systems and recognizes the importance of mm‐wave communications for “key enabling technologies for 5G and beyond, including millimeter‐wave.” In response to this NIST CTL technology research program, the SBIR Phase I project will develop a high‐perf ...

The promise of personalized medicine can be realized in part via point-of-care 3D drug printing, but only if there are reliable quality measures available. Children and seniors may need custom or easy-to-swallow doses, a need now addressed only in a limited way by ad-hoc in-pharmacy compounding. Compliance-targeted enhancements such as flavor and shape choices are particularly important for childr ...

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 ...

Kaney Inc. (Kaney) proposes development of a SAR package and development plan for National Stock Number (NSN) 6150-01-629-3728, a Battery Connector Assembly. This battery connector assembly is out of stock at two different suppliers (but available at a third supplier, please see below in Figure 6-1), and the NSN pertains to F-15C and F-15D based platforms including variants currently flown by some ...

Kaney Inc. (Kaney) proposes development of a SAR package and development plan for National Stock Number (NSN) 5995-01-195-9918, a Radio Cable Assembly for the B-1 platform. During Phase I, Kaney will utilize our in-house manufacturing and analysis capabilities to develop Kaney drawings and a manufacturing/qualification plan for this part. Kaney has extensive domain knowledge and capabilities rela ...
