The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project aims to address the declining U.S. distributed wind turbine (DWT) market and support the transition to renewable energy sources. The DWT market has experienced a decline since 2012, mostly due to low reliability and high levelized cost of energy. However, the deployment of DWTs is crucial to m ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project focuses on the unique combination of cancer-specific antibodies and adoptive Natural Killer (NK) immune cells needed to offer personalizable cancer therapies.This innovation represents a platform technology that can spawn multiple innovative cancer treatments, which could positively impact lif ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is creating a tonally proficient Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled translation database for African languages. There are no such product or service that can accurately translate African languages, as African languages have traditionally been under-resourced by Western corporations. By 2050, almost 25 ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is the extension of state-of-the-art terrestrial 5G technologies to non-terrestrial satellite networks. Non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) are the ideal hosts for many commercial applications involving monitoring, reconnaissance, and remote sensing such as agricultural planting, remote factory op ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is a novel process for providing customized prosthetic feet. Current prescription methods match patients with prosthetic feet designs based on the patient’s weight and level of physical activity. However, this method often neglects patient variabilities in terms of posture and walking gait a ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is a more rapid lower-cost development path to a commercially attractive highly modular fusion power plant. Although early stage in its conceptual development, this technology has the potential to leapfrog past current fuel cycle models to provide cheaper, advanced aneutronic fuel systems that ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is a novel mechanical system which improves the safety of the elderly and disabled while walking on level surfaces and stairs. The novel, wall-mounted system will reduce the risks of injury by mechanically supporting individuals during ambulation, rehabilitation, and eventual in-home gait assi ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is a simplified system for applying compound in situ to form biomaterials during surgical procedures. Controlled biomaterial applications pose significant potential surgical advantages including for anti-adhesion, tissue sealant, and drug delivery purposes. The proposed platform will enable pr ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is a novel chatbot that provides support to endometriosis patients. Endometriosis is a debilitating chronic pain disorder that impacts approximately one in ten women in the United States -resulting in significant loss of productivity, low quality of life, and greater than $80 billion annual ec ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to validate a new, biochar-enriched building material as a ceiling tile product. The plane of ceiling tiles represents a vast, untapped opportunity in combating climate change through carbon sequestration. With the innovation, a proprietary mineral matrix is enriched with 50-80% biochar. Biochar is t ...
