Broadband Push-to-Talk (PTT) services are offered by a diverse group of vendors and are being used on multiple cellular carriers in the US and internationally. These PTT services provide important communications tools for the first responder community during public safety incidents and events. U.S. State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial (SLTT) governments are using different PTT services which can ...

This SBIR Phase II project proposes development of deep learning-based algorithms and software system that can identify biological and chemical threats at both functional and structural level from portal-based spectral measurements with high specificity and sensitivity. The proposed solution leverages recent advancements in the areas of chemical fingerprinting, latent representation learning, chem ...

C53-34a-271222During Phase I of this DOE SBIR program, NanoSonic addressed two opportunities identified by the Office of Nuclear Physics community regarding advanced materials for superconducting radio frequency components within particle accelerators. Specifically, NanoSonic developed new cost- effective bimetallic structure forming techniques as well as void-free, non-offgassing, additively manu ...

C53-34b-271354The Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) Cavities, that accelerate particles in many of the US DOE Labs, need a method of indicating their health “real-time” during use. The Helium Flow Meter, proven to work in Phase I, measures extra heat generated by contaminants inside the cavity by measuring increased evaporation of helium from the cooling bath in which the cavity is immerse ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will address the growing need for accurate models and forecasts of the Arctic.As Arctic maritime operations such as fishing, shipping, and mariculture of kelp are increasingly impacted by unprecedented climate change, traditional modeling techniques are unable to support these new demands. Ecosystems are not stat ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is a label-free, biological sample preparation and cell isolation platform for recovery of rare cells from a variety of sample inputs. Specifically, by carrying out sample preparation, manipulation, and monitoring on a single chip platform for selective cell recovery, the sample handling step ...

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 improved access to state-of-the-art molecular diagnostic technologies in areas of significant unmet clinical need, such as women’s health. During the NSF I-Corps Program, the team identified urinary tract infections (UTIs) as pressing problem due to the currently lengthy clinical workflo ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is the development of an advanced electromechanical cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt system for the treatment and monitoring of hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus is caused by an accumulation of CSF occurs within the brain, often causing an increased pressure inside the skull. Most shunts used to re ...
