Optofluidics and the University of Delaware propose to complete the development of the Horizon technology and carry out validation via a comprehensive multi-site study. The technology is a subvisible particle analyzer pioneered during Phase I. The technology is designed to fill two critical gaps in biopharmaceutical product development: (1) Scientists can count and image particles with current too ...

This SBIR (small business innovationresearch) Phase I projectis responsive to National Challenge Area: Food Safety, and to USDA Strategic Goal 4.3 - Protect Public Health by Ensuring Food is Safe (www.ocfo.usda.gov/usdasp/usdasp.htm). The detection and investigation of foodborne outbreaks associated with pathogens such as E. coli O157 is highly dependent on strain typing. The typing methods employ ...

This Small Business Innovation and Research (SBIR) Phase I project by Advanced Cooling Technologies, Inc. (ACT) will develop a low cost, dust resistant poultry house heat exchanger to recover heat lost during winter ventillation. The innovative inflatable design will increase the heat exchanger tolerance to dust accumulation and will allow for the use of low cost, lightweight materials. By effecti ...

This project will install energy-saving window retrofits on 20 to 25 homes of low-income seniors in Vermont and measure the real world energy savings provided by the WonderWindow retrofits.

Reliable diagnosis of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in aircraft components at an early stage is critical for maintaining mission readiness and safety. One of the primary challenges associated with maintenance management for aircraft components is that SCC does not grow at a steady rate over the life of the component, but rather the majority of the remaining useful life is spent before macroscale ...

Combustion Research and Flow Technology (CRAFT Tech) and its partner, Vulcan Research & Controls (VRC) propose the development of a hybrid firefighting hand nozzle providing both Ultra-High Pressure (UHP) and Low Pressure (LP) operational modes for applic

The Air Force requires 24-hour non-interrupted satellite tracking. The ability to identify satellite orbits and deviations from them provides the Air Force with key intel that could be used to identify malfunctioning satellites, prevent collisions, or ev

The Digital Enhanced Vision System (DEVS) has been in development using government and IRAD funding. The DEVS is an advanced helmet mounted digital night vision system. The DEVS is a multispectral device using a short wave and long wave infrared sensor.

This project will determine the feasibility to enhance situational awareness of all-source USAF intelligence analysts through improved workflows defining and refining Patterns of Life (POLs) on multi-modal streaming data, collaboratively with automation t

Production of hydroxylamine nitrate (HAN) and hydroxyethyl hydrazine nitrate (HEHN) is of great concern for the manufacture of AF-315E. Current stockpiles of heritage ingredients held by AFRL are being depleted and those manufacturers are no longer in exi
