C47-22a-271388Current manufacturing of ethylene via ethane steam reforming comes with significant energy and carbon emissions costs. A route to low carbon ethylene will have a meaningful impact as ethylene production is the largest world-wide and US chemical process in terms of production volumes, energy consumed, and carbon emitted. This project fits well within an overall strategy for decarboniz ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to enable the reduction of greenhouse gases by the aviation industry by advancing the development of a lightweight conformable tank capable of storing hydrogen at a gravimetric efficiency of over 10% hydrogen by mass. The development of a conformable tank with a greater than 10% storage efficiency, which excee ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project will address the widespread industry challenge of improving yield in compound semiconductor device production. Compound semiconductors with a wide bandgap are needed for high power devices in electric vehicles (EVs), high frequency components in 5G electronics, and energy-efficient displays. The compound semiconductor market, valued at $36+ ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II project is to increase the productivity of manufacturing machines at low cost through software improvements, without sacrificing quality. The project is specifically motivated by 3D printing, an $11 billion and rapidly growing industry within advanced manufacturing that is critical to national security, supply ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to develop a platform technology as an enabler of a wide range of high-throughput wireless communications for the next generation of broadband multigigabit connectivity. The millimeter-wave (mmWave) technology solves some of the key underlying challenges of mmWave radios and networks and i ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project lies in its potential to positively impact the sales process by enabling easier, faster, and better access to previous sales conversations and improving sales management oversight. These improvements, in turn, will lead to increased sales efficiency and customer acquisition and retention, and ...

Title: Tangler Trifecta Advanced Mating Disruption that Allows for Time and LaborSavings.Principle Director: Chandra Maleckas-BunkerNON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY: Many factors acting together including concerns about worker safetyfood safety pesticide resistance and new regulations governing pesticides have heightened growerawareness to reduce insecticide inputs and increase reliance on biopesticides. For ...

ABSTRACT Suicide is a leading cause of death in the US and suicide rates have steadily increased. Despite this, there is a paucity of interventions that reduce suicide ideation and behavior. In this project, we seek to enhance a beta version of our suicide prevention digital therapeutic (developed in phase I) and conduct a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of the digital therape ...

ABSTRACT Ischemic retinopathies, such as diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusion, are the leading cause of blindness in the United States. Common features are leaky vessels, swelling, capillary drop out, aberrant vessel growth and retinal detachment. Current treatments include laser ablation, anti-VEGFs and steroids. All are sub-optimal and only serve to slow disease progression and vision ...

ABSTRACT We present a complete platform for the rapid generation and validation of recombinant mAbs. The innovations of this proposal include: (1) the pATHENA vector system for overnight conversion of phage display scFv or Fab clones into IgG molecules, (2) the Epivolve method for the isolation of site-specific Abs, (3) the incorporation of yeast display into pATHENA to allow biophysical measureme ...
