Continuous Monitoring of Natural Gas Infrastructure for Increased Community Resilience using Voltammetric Sensors
SBC: FULLMOON SENSORS, INC. Topic: NoneFullmoon has the first chip-level sensors capable of identifying and quantifying molecules in the air. At the core of our technology are printed voltammetric sensors, which are operated using cyclic voltammetry, an electrochemical technique that probes for the redox potential, a unique signature of molecules. We have demonstrated this sensing principle for the detection of carbon monoxide and meth ...

Compact Raman Fiber Optic Probe with Inline Spectral Filtering
SBC: Nikira Labs Inc. Topic: NoneIn this Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) effort, Nikira Labs Inc. proposes to develop a compact Raman fiber optic probe with inline spectral filtering that improves fiber-coupled Raman measurements by filtering out Raman scattering from the excitation fiber and elastically scattered laser light from the collection fibers. The technology will enable compact fiber probes for Raman studies i ...

SiNC-1400X Ceramic Fibers and CMCs for Unique High Temperature Applications
SBC: EDWARD POPE DR Topic: AF182005MATECHs SiNC-1400X structural ceramic fiber product is composed of silicon nitride carbide. It is a high temperature capable ceramic fiber designed for ceramic matric composites (CMCs) with use temperatures of up to 1300C. Unlike conventional silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic fibers and SiC-matrix CMCs, SiNC-1400X fibers (and SiNC/SiNC CMCs) have unusually low and tailorable dielectric properties maki ...
