This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II research project will develop highly miniaturized power converters by developing a functional, scaled-down hardware prototype of a high-temperature multichip power module (MCPM). To achieve this goal, the company has taken advantages of the key benefits of silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors which include high-temperature operation, high sw ...

Cermet, Inc in collaboration with Georgia Institute of Technology proposes to develop spin Light Emitting Diode (LED) in a 24 month Phase II program. The spin LED is a simple yet powerful spintronic device that produces circularly polarized light and is a potent tool to quantify the spin injection efficiency and spin polarization efficiency.

The goal of this program is to develop ZnO based light emitters fabricated on high quality ZnO bulk substrates. The work will focus on enhance doping of the active layers, target alloy concentrations and prototype emitter fabrication.

This SBIR Phase II project seeks to provide a model for integrating digital microscopy and web-based on-line collaborative learning in order to improve science education. In Phase I, Digital Blue developed a collaborative worksite, www.planetmicro.com and enrolled +400 students. In Phase II Digital Blue proposes to further this inquiry by building, in conjunction with the Concord Consortium, a s ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will develop user interfaces, routing algorithms, and driver notification systems necessary to deliver content-rich traffic information to travelers en route. Large volumes of traffic data, of varying types over large areas, is being gathered by public and private agencies. To be useful to a driver while traveling, this data must be r ...

nGimat Co., in collaboration with the Georgia Institute of Technology, and the Wright-Patterson AFB Air Force Research Laboratory, proposes to develop a fuel injection method and advanced numerical simulation tools for injection of fuel at supercritical conditions in aero-propulsion combustors. This project is designed to accelerate understanding and commercialization of transcritical and supercr ...

In these times of increasing deficits and limited budgets, the Office of the Secretary of Defense is using the idea of Capability-Based Acquisitions. This concept limits spending by focusing investments only for key capabilities. With this concept, Research and Development at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) now also needs to be such that funding is focused on R&D that supports these key ...

This Phase II proposes to develop an innovative nanostructured coating, with a unique integration of hard phases and lubrication phases, for dry machining of austenite steels for the automotive and aerospace industries. This novel coating will be synthesized using a combination of electrostatic spray coating (ESC), chemical vapor infiltration (CVI), and plasma etching. W unique biomimetic inspir ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will develop novel graded-index (GIN) structures for blue/UV light emitting diodes (LEDs). Solidstate LEDs (SSLs) are among the most efficient converters of electrical energy into light and additionally have the advantages of long lifetime, excellent reliability, low power consumption, light weight, small size and excellent resistanc ...

RNI proposed a unique integrated 3D solution to this problem, an innovative effort to design, develop and demonstrate an Embedded AAR System by integrating commercially available components. The innovative system performs bridging between virtual and live networks and allows the use of COTS man-machine interface devices and technologies. These technologies allow the participants (trainee, comman ...
