Coupling, Shaft is a mechanical component used to connect two rotating shafts together, allowing the transmission of power and torque. It helps to minimize the effects of misalignment, vibration, and shock and reduces the stress and wear on the connected shafts and their bearings. The Coupling, Shaft (NSN 3010-01-679-7883) listed in Small Business Innovation Program website is an aviation critical ...

This project will result in a new supplier for a specific azimuth telescope that is a critical component in existing Department of Defense systems. Currently, there is no existing supplier for the azimuth telescope and there is no technical or engineering information available for the azimuth telescope that could be used by a new supplier to begin manufacturing the azimuth telescope. To address th ...

Industrial control system (ICS) operational technology (OT) systems enable increased process efficiency and cost savings.  At the same time, they allow for increasingly complex cyber-attacks with devastating physical impacts.  The ATC-NY team will design and build CYRIN-OT, a system for creating virtual “digital twins” of OT networks and performing security assessments on them.  Any diverge ...

Viable Gear will provide proof-of-concept for a seaweed-based bioplastic to be used in manufacturing a compostable biotwine for marine equipment, designed to replace petroleum-based plastics. This addresses NOM-SBIR research topic area 9.3, The Changing Ocean - specifically to "support increased protection and restoration of marine and coastal habitats to enhance vital ecosystems", by helping decr ...

GVSC Sustainment Engineering has requested information for a project to replace Lamp, Halogen 12360840-1 due to stock issues. MWV has met with the team and understand the request. Based upon initial concept discussions, MWV has the ability to design and supply a replacement solution. This will include removing existing Lens, Lamp, Reflector and all hardware needed for these items. MWV will then re ...

  The Oshkosh M1070 is a US Army tank transporter tractor unit that is also used in the military for various operations and military drills. It is a powerful tractor truck with an 8x8 drive configuration and advanced features such as an electronic engine control system to ensure maximum efficiency at all times and an 'air ride' rear suspension to ensure all axles remain in contact with the ground ...

The marine microalgae Chrypthecodinium conhii (C. cohnii) contains high levels of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and DHA synthase enzymes (DSe). Finfish have shown de novo synthesis of DHA when fed a C. cohnii product, KoniSap™, developed by FPN LLC. KoniSap™ is unique to the aqua-feed market as it is produced under low temperature and inert gas to prevent lipid oxidation and avoid enzyme denatura ...

Demand for seaweed products has dramatically increased in the U.S.; however, domestic production from both wild harvests and aquaculture operations only supplies 1% of this demand. To meet demand, expansion of seaweed aquaculture is crucial to protect wild populations from extinction by overharvesting, which impacts entire marine ecosystems. Currently, U.S. kelp aquaculture methods rely on wild ha ...

When GTP discontinued the manufacture of WRe wire, it ended US-based production of a material critical in the operations of MWT/TWT equipment for defense applications.  The objective of this project is to produce a WRe wire that matches as closely as possible the wire produced by GTP while also potentially developing a process that meets or exceeds the yields achieved by GTP.  The wire produced ...

Object detection datasets for overhead imagery are typically generated using bootstrapping methods to reduce annotator effort and cost. These methods iteratively train a detector from a limited set of user-provided and model-predicted labels. Such approaches bias detectors toward the initial object set, limiting their capacity to handle object variations or discover novel objects classes. MONET ov ...
