Harmful algal blooms can devastate ecological and economic systems; federal disasters are declared, public drinking water systems shut down, fisheries closed, and mass wildlife die offs and acute toxicity/death for humans occur. By the numbers, the negative financial impact of HABs globally is $10B and, as temperatures climb, conditions are increasingly favorable for HAB events. HABs can be contro ...

The goal of this SBIR project is to develop and demonstrate an innovative aluminum smelting technology that will significantly increase the range of aluminum alloys that can be manufactured from recycling of scrap aluminum. This will result in reduction of need for primary aluminum with corresponding 95% energy and CO2 emission benefits. The proposed melting of pre-sorted aluminum alloys using UHV ...

After successfully developing open source traffic simulation software, ETFOMM (Enhanced Transportation Flow Open-source Microscopic Models), New Global Systems for Intelligent Transportation Management Corp. proposes a US DOT SBIR program to support its efforts to accelerating the commercialization of the software to educational and research communities in Phase IIB. The specific tasks include edu ...

PRESENT DAY FIRE DETECTORS NORMALLY EMPLOY A SINGLE SENSOR, SUCH AS AN OPTICAL DENSITY OR IONIZATION DETECTOR, THAT HAS WELL KNOWN LIMITATIONS. ALARM DECISIONS ARE THUS BASED ON A SINGLE MEASUREMENT THAT IS OFTEN INACCURATE, AND INSENSITIVE. WE PROPOSE TO USE AN ARRAY OF VERY SMALL AND INEXPENSIVE SOLID-STATE DEVICES THAT ARE HIGHLY SENSITIVE TO A VARIETY OF PHYSICAL EFFECTS AND CHEMICAL VAPOR PRO ...

AS A RESULT OF THE INCREASING VOLUME OF AIR TRAFFIC IT HAS BECOME APPARENT THAT A NEED EXIST FOR A DEVICE OPERATED ON BOARD THE AIRCRAFT TO WARN THE PILOT OF OTHER AIRCRAFT THAT MAY POSE A POTENTIAL COLLISION. OUR OBJECTIVE IS TO DEVELOP A INEXPENSIVE TCAS I SYSTEM (AD-VANCED TECHNOLOGY AIRBORNE TRAFFIC ALERT AND COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM) THAT MEET "ALL" OF THE FAA TCAS I REQUIREMENTS AS PER RTC ...
