Metamaterial Void Sensor for Fast Transient Testing
SBC: Goldfinch Sensor Technologies and Analytics LLC Topic: 30aAfter the Daiichi nuclear disaster, the US Congress placed emphasis on accident tolerant fuels for reactors.During accident events, voids in cooling fluid can cause cladding weakening, and it is important to measure these effects in a controlled test.The project develops a fast void detector that can detect and localize voids, with a quantifiable detection limit superior to a capacitive void senso ...

Low Signature Optical Guidance of Low Collateral Munitions
SBC: CORVID TECHNOLOGIES, LLC Topic: SOCOM061008At present, there are no solutions for equipping Class 1 and 2 unmanned aerial system (UAS) platforms with weapons systems that provide the capability for opportunistic engagement of high value targets (HVT). Munitions deployed on larger UAS, and other fixed-wing SOCOM assets, greatly exceed the payload capacity of Class 1 and 2 UAS assets currently in use for intelligence, surveillance, and recon ...

Xylose Utilization During Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation Enabled by a Parallel Microreactor with Immobilized Enzyme
SBC: Trillium Fiber Fuels, Inc. Topic: N/AConcerns over the escalating use of petroleum-based liquid fuels include climate change, trade imbalances, global security issues, and environmental harm resulting from petroleum extraction and processing. Although ethanol is the leading replacement for petroleum-based gasoline, the current corn-based source of ethanol is hindered by serious social and environmental issues. The production of cel ...

Hybrid Membrane Distillation Process for Enhanced Integrated Ethanol Production
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 19The conversion of corn and other biomass to fuel grade ethanol not only would reduce U.S. dependence on foreign energy sources but also would be a major industrial application for agricultural products. However, the process of drying the ethanol to fuel grade consumes significant amounts of energy, incurring costs that continue to increase as cost of natural gas increases. This project will deve ...

Hybrid Anti-Fouling Membrane System for Natural Gas Separation
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 19The need for natural gas continues to grow, and recent increases in petroleum prices have been paralleled by large increases in the price of natural gas. However, natural gas at the source often has high concentrations of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, which must be removed. Although existing commercial polymeric membranes (e.g. cellulose acetate and polysulfone) do a good job of sweetenin ...

Low Cost Carbon Fiber Composites for Lightweight Vehicle Parts
SBC: MATERIALS INNOVATION TECHNOLOGIES, LLC Topic: 27The U.S. could significantly reduce oil consumption by decreasing the weight of its automobile fleet, especially by using lightweight carbon composite materials. However, lightweight materials in automobile structures have been problematic for two reasons: (1) the high cost of carbon fiber materials themselves, and (2) the high processing costs of these materials. Although programs exist to red ...

High Bulk-Density, Large Capacity Activated Carbons for Small-Scale Natural Gas Storage
SBC: CM-Tec, Inc. Topic: 13Natural gas provides a clean and environmentally friendly fuel for electric power generation; however, the distribution network, and especially the storage system, is ill-suited for the projected gowth of natural gas for use in electical energy generation. This project will develop a natural gas (methane) storage system based on an innovative, high-bulk-density activated carbon that is especially ...
