SBIR Phase I:A Wearable, Independent, Braille-Assistive Learning Device
SBC: BRAILLEWEAR Topic: HCThe broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is in creating an independent. assistive Braille learning device for blind people. The ability to read Braille is highly correlated with improved independence and quality of life. An estimated 70% of the blind are unemployed yet, of that subpopulation that is Braille literate, only 10% are unemployed. T ...

Secondary Emission Detector Modules for High Energy Physics Experiments
SBC: NVIZIX LLC Topic: C5637aWe propose simulating and constructing a prototype and demonstration brassboard of a Secondary Emission Sensor Module (SESM) for ionizing radiation, as a proof of principle and guide to Phase II and beyond. The simulation and design studies will guide module construction and point to future uses. The module is anticipated to have ~30 stages of sheet dynode with an areal size ~15x15 cm. It will be ...

Selective Electrochemical Recovery of Rare Earth Elements from Ore
SBC: WYONICS LLC Topic: C5604a1. Problem StatementCurrent industrial-scale rare earth element separation technologies are based on solvent extraction schemes which produce large amounts of undesirable chemical waste, including the loss of volatile organic solvents and reagents employed in the treatment of feed streams. These concerns have severely limited the development of U.S.-based rare earth element separation facilities. ...

Multifunctional Ceramic Antifouling, Erosion- and Corrosion-resistant Coating for Hydropower Applications
SBC: NANOIONIX, LLC Topic: C5614bHydroelectric power is the world’s largest source of renewable energy. These massive systems are designed for a 50+ year service life, but this can be shortened substantially by poor water quality and the presence of flowing debris, sediment, minerals, and micro- and macro-organisms. Biofouling (especially from invasive species), corrosion, and erosion (wear) of critical components can limit per ...

DEVELOPMENT OF SECOND USE APPLICATIONS FOR IONOMER MATERIALS RECOVERED FROM HYDROGEN ECONOMY SYSTEMS
SBC: Ion Power, Inc. Topic: C5611aPerfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) polymers are the primary membrane material used in the manufacturing of water electrolyzers and fuel cells for the hydrogen economy. The discarding of these materials, especially when they are combined with precious metals, presents an unwanted introduction of these materials into the environment. Thus, the opportunity being addressed by this SBIR proposal is the deve ...

X-RAY SOURCE FOR DETECTOR CALIBRATION
SBC: omega-p r&d, Inc. Topic: C5602aThe US Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Research and Development agency has an objective to reduce reliance on high-activity commercial and industrial radioactive sources used in calibration systems. One approach to achieve this goal is by use of novel electron accelerators to produce x-rays that can reach the needed gamma-ray dose rate, repeatability, and stability for calibration, while reducing ...
