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 ...

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 (SBIR) Phase I project will develop high thermoelectric figure-of-merit (ZT) nanocrystal quantum dot (NQD) thermoelectric (TE) materials that have thermal efficiency properties far better than traditional bulk thermoelectric materials. In the proposed work, TE devices will be fabricated from solidified quantum dot films that are formed from colloidally synth ...
