Photon-X and Pilot AI will assess the feasibility of building a rangefinder that uses object shapes and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to better detect objects and estimate their range. The project will combine novel shape-sensing imaging technology with edge-optimized AI algorithms that can run on a small, battery-powered device. The key tasks of the project will be: Validate that a computer vision ...

DHS in support of FEMA identifies a need for a sensor system to detect potential survivors buried in rubble piles or confined spaces in the event of a building collapse. In response to the solicitation, MaXentric proposes a radar-based system capable of detecting motion through debris such as respiration and/or heart beats. The system will alert the user of a potential victim's location relative t ...

ABSTRACT The detection of chromosomal aberrations is a frontline diagnostic for the spectrum of blood neoplasms. Chromosomal aberrations, such as translocations, inversions, deletions and insertions, have been historically identified using cytogenetic methods or more recently through application of long read sequencing or optical mapping technologies. These methods have been less applicable in sol ...

The success of this project will have a direct impact on the manufacturers, integrators, and operators of battery-powered assets. Empowering battery engineering teams ...

PROJECT SUMMARY Sarya LLC (Sarya) is a nuclear medicine technology company formed to commercialize radiopharmaceuticals. The goal of this Fast-Track STTR is to develop a new specific imaging agent for diagnosis, staging, and treatment of the hematological cancer, multiple myeloma (MM). MM is the 2nd most common blood cancer with an estimated 32,000 new cases and 13,000 deaths per year. Accurate de ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will improve and accelerate the development of new chemicals, processes, and formulations in the pharmaceutical industry. By harnessing the power of machine learning (ML), this project aims to save time and resources by up to 95%, while reducing waste generation, thereby enhancing the commercial and so ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is improving the surgical outcome for patients undergoing neuro-endovascular interventions for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms (IAs). IAs affect 6% of the population and IA rupture results in lethal hemorrhagic strokes, which account for ~25% of cerebrovascular deaths despite improvements in management. M ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project supports the development of robotic solutions for unloading non-palletized packages of different shapes and sizes in logistics and similar industries.This technology may provide workers with more skilled jobs that remove the need for physically strenuous labor in unhealthy environments. The project see ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project produces compact optical frequency standards using state-of-the-art optical frequency metrology techniques adopted from national metrology institutes. Commercially, these devices will produce fundamentally accurate and stable optical frequencies in the form of laser light. End uses of these optical frequency standards include telecomm ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is the development of a commercially-ready cell engineering platform that will enable a curative therapy for cancer in the veterinary market.An estimated 250,000 dogs get B cell lymphoma every year. Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy offers hope for a treatment for this disease. The project platform f ...
