This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I research project aims to establish "proof-of-concept" of a novel Software Platform directed at needs of FDA's Process Analytical Technologies (PAT) initiative, a framework for innovative pharmaceutical development, manufacturing and quality assurance. PAT is implemented at three levels: Process Understanding; Quality by Design; and Monitor, Predict a ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)Phase I research project will investigate technology innovations needed to support the automated analysis and improvement of the reusability characteristics of digital learning resources. Reusability of digital learning resources is crucial to increasing access and lowering the cost of online training and education. Recent advances in the theory of reu ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project aims to develop platform clostridia strains suitable for industrial scale alcohol production from renewable feedstocks and also to improve metabolic engineering technologies for all clostridia. Clostridia are strictly anaerobic, endospore forming prokaryotes of major importance to cellulose degradation, human and animal health and physiology, ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will assess the technical feasibility of developing a robust, high-speed inorganic electron-beam resist platform that will enable the manufacture of electronic devices with feature sizes < 30 nm. The requirements of high speed, low line-width roughness, sufficient etch resistance are extreme for patterning devices at these feature sizes. Suc ...

The objective of this research is to develop beta versions of tools for automatically migrating radiation effects predicted in TCAD level tools to compact modeling tools. This transition will enable compact models that possess radiation effects to be quickly generated, which can then be used in circuit design activity. This approach is a substantial improvement over the current ad hoc approaches. ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project aims to develop new, sensitive, accurate, and reliable detection methods for measuring genomic DNA or RNA samples isolated from living cells. The intellectual merit of this project lies in the development of new detection methods that are essential for improving high-throughput genomic microarray analyses of gene activity. Problems with cur ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will introduce novel separation techniques to improve the efficiency and product quality in rechargeable lithium battery recycling. Producing high purity materials from scrap is difficult to achieve. Current separation practices rely on the use of high temperatures or strong chemicals to separate various elements from the waste mix; typical ...

This SBIR Phase I research project will lead to an electrical panel with modules that provide interfaces between the electrical grid and the residential customer?s on-site loads and other energy systems. Through the use of interactive solid state meters, the utility will be able to intelligently regulate loads and dispatch on-site energy systems. The on-site energy systems include, but are not lim ...
