To date, no realizable method of predicting the occurrence or magnitude of a Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) event has been developed. There are multiple models currently available in the Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC) through Goddard Space Flight Center that attempt to provide timely and accurate event propagation (e.g.MAG4, Enlil, and SEPMOD). None of these have yet achieved the goa ...

The highest-risk processing step in manufacturing C-CAT’s ACC material is the initial carbonization cycle, during which a C/Ph composite preform is carbonized to produce a low-density C/C part to be subsequently densified using a Polymer Infiltration and Pyrolysis (PIP) process. Though the carbonization steps of the PIP densification cycles also present a risk, it is during the initial cycle tha ...

Advances in spatial metabolomic analysis of tissue biopsies using MALDI-MSI now enable the identification of numerous biochemical pathways as signatures of specific histopathology features. However, the lack of reproducibility across experimental studies without a common internal standard limits the application of MALDIMSI for drug development. SygnaMap is developing MSI-DeepPath as an innovative ...

The goal for this Phase I research is to develop a stretchable dielectric ink that can be used for flexible applications. Printing electronics is a new and quickly growing alternative to traditionally manufactured electronics. Flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) is a novel approach to electronic circuit manufacturing that aims to combine the best of printed and conventional electronics. FHE devices ...

For this project, the team at Framergy, Inc. in partnership with Texas A&M University (TAMU), will analyze the feasibility of post-synthetic incorporation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) into polymer composites. This manufacturing method has the distinct advantage of eliminating the synthesis optimization that is often needed in in-situ growth methodologies, while also allowing for a higher de ...

Magnesium metal, sometimes referred to as the “Green Metal” is important for defense and industrial use, as it is the lightest of all the structural and engineering metals. Magnesium also has superior mechanical properties such as high dampening capacity, heat dissipation, and shock absorbing capacity. Magnesium is 100% recyclable. Due to these factors, magnesium metal is in high demand in the ...

Industrial control system (ICS) operational technology (OT) systems enable increased process efficiency and cost savings.  At the same time, they allow for increasingly complex cyber-attacks with devastating physical impacts.  The ATC-NY team will design and build CYRIN-OT, a system for creating virtual “digital twins” of OT networks and performing security assessments on them.  Any diverge ...

Scope The Scope of the project exclusively pertains upon building a starting point to reconstitute a successful low volume lithography system which provides significant potential to produce cost effective and rapid prototyping of advanced microelectronics. The scope of the project is limited to the tool evaluation by producing imaging data of various shapes and patterns.  Assess and Install Mach ...

This research aims to develop decision support tools for better maintenance and planning of renewable energy generation and storage assets using atmospheric, local weather, and on-ground environmental data blended with site-, regional- and national-generation data. The study will use a combination of these data to understand the relationship between non-cloud cover based atmospheric conditions and ...

AirMettle Inc. is transforming big data analytics for NOAA and the broader scientific community with a real-time smart data lake solution. Our innovative method utilizes massively parallel in-storage data processing within a versatile software defined storage framework, deployable on-premises or as a cloudbased service. Building upon our successful NOAA SBIR Phase I project, we strive to improve t ...
