The proposed ...

The broader impact of this SBIR Phase I project includes reductions in food waste, energy use, and carbon emissions by developing a highly efficient and adaptable system for refrigerated transport. Mini-containers, which are small, insulated boxes with environments controlled by a central driving unit that contains a refrigerator and other environmental controls are proposed. The technology may in ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is a novel metabolite diagnostic blood test indicative of early-stage diseases including cancer, chronic heart and lung disorders, and diabetes.The technology analyzes specific panels of blood metabolites indicative of changes in cellular function that occur with disease.This technology reduce ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will be the ability to quickly and inexpensively determine the presence and genetic sequence of a wide variety of pathogenic organisms. Most importantly, this technology could be implemented without prior assumptions as to which organisms are expected. Sequencing will be accomplished by direct electrical identific ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to advance the state-of-the-art for demand modeling for electric aircraft by developing a decision support tool that assesses the broad economic, environmental, and equity impacts that these new modes of transportation will have on society. The project is motivated by recent advancements in battery technologies ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is focused on developing software to enhance the performance of existing radar hardware on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Despite development of ADAS sensing technologies, there are, on average, 14,386 car accidents per day in the United States alone. The performance of these technologies st ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to enhance Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) career awareness in minorities by engaging their interests and correlating those interests with real career aspirations. The research aligns with diversity, equity, and inclusion goals in STEM fields, exposing students in secondary sc ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will be to accelerate the emergence of next-generation semiconductors, beyond silicon, with increased performance and efficiency across a wide range of applications, including those essential for the Nation’s future energy and communications infrastructure. By replacing the most wasteful and costly step in the s ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is that a deeper structural understanding will be developed of protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1), an important target for promising new anti-thrombotic and anti-inflammatory drugs. The project will also support the development of new compounds targeting PAR1 with the potential for improved potency and safety pr ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project is to address the need for recycling plastics that have surpassed their useful life. The ‘plastic’s revolution’ of the mid-twentieth century has greatly added value to society but has also created highly durable plastics that are used to make objects of limited life-expectancy. There are limited ...
