The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to provide faster internet speeds to remote locations. This goal will be accomplished through the delivery of custom-shaped reflector panels for satellite communication antennas.Currently, there is a significant unmet need in the market for rapid turnaround, relatively low quantity, and affordable curved metal ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to develop further a predictive model for health providers to address the life-threatening condition of preeclampsia in pregnant and postpartum patients. Preeclampsia affects 1 in 20 births, or 150,000 women in the U.S. each year. Not only does Preeclampsia cost 70,000 lives globally each ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Resesarch (SBIR) Phase II project will be in helping to close the homework gap in the United States. The homework gap has been a long simmering problem where 12 – 17 million K-12 students do not have reliable home internet to complete digital homework. Students that could benefit the most from learning applications that require home ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to improve surgical skill acquisition, assessment of surgical performance, and medical device training. The apprenticeship-based model of surgical training has created inefficiencies in the medical device and healthcare industries. This problem is exacerbated by the evolving complexity and ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project seeks to accelerate the transition from chemical pesticides to non-chemical alternatives by providing farmers with a sustainable, long-term solution for managing pests, while reducing agricultural impacts on human health and the environment. Today, strawberry farmers are reliant on chemical p ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to develop a full satellite communication (satcom) terminal commonly known as VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) for fixed and mobile platforms such as residences, manned and unmanned aerial vehicles, and maritime crafts. This novel satellite communication antenna can be used for Low, Med ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project aims to develop a novel manufacturing method to produce high-accuracy, optical encoders. Encoders are sensors that measure position, either linear or angular, and convert it into an electronic signal. Modern automation and robotics systems heavily rely on encoders for precision positioning and motion control. The global encoder market ...

Phosphorus Biofertilizer For Sustainable AgricultureProject SummaryOur proposed approach will utilize a novel and patented technology that will solubilize residualinorganic and organic phosphorus in soils as well as make synthetic and organic phosphorusfertilizers available on demand for sustainable crop growth eliminating any leaching losses.TM BioCat-P is a novel next generation biofertilizer bi ...

ABSTRACT / PROJECT SUMMARY Stroke affects more than 795,000 patients per year in the US and kills approximately 40,000. Long-term medical care expense for stroke in the US, costs over $34B per year. Large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke accounts for almost 40% of ischemic strokes but causes 95% of mortality and 62% of long-term dependence. Mechanical thrombectomy (MT), or a combination of MT and tPA ...

Project Summary Toxoplasma gondii (T.gondii), the causative agent for toxoplasmosis, invades host cells through ingestion of uncooked infected meat or contaminated water. T.gondii infects 30% of the world’s population and the current cost of the disease in US itself is estimated to be $3B and rising. Current treatment regimen is effective only against acute infection and has severe side effects. ...
