We propose a high-impact innovation for weather forecasting that integrates global ensemble weather forecasts with an AI-driven post-processing model of extreme weather indices. This innovation will provide the basis for skillful probabilistic forecasts of compound extreme weather events at extended lead times. Extreme weather/climate events of relevance to electric utilities focused on in Phase I ...

In this Phase II SBIR, XploSafe will build on its Phase I work to advance the development and evaluation of sorbents identified during the Phase I. Phase I results demonstrated the feasibility of sorbent candidates as viable replacement for the current carbon dioxide and humidity control solution. The developed materials exhibit significant advantages including higher CO2 capacity and easier regen ...

This Small Business Technology Transfer Phase II effort aims to develop a fully integrated, modular human surrogate, a software suite, and wireless data transmission.  The main goals of the Phase II project will be to increase the biofidelity, modularity, and manufacturability of the low-cost, sensor-integrated surrogate developed in Phase I.  In Phase II, the prototype that was developed in Pha ...

To address the critical challenge explained in SBIR Topic DHA213-006, PURioLABS proposes to deliver Phase II objectives via the PURitALL Desktop Mobile Device Sterilizer, a field-ready, portable sterilization cabinet that will perform the sterilization and drying treatments for surgical scopes and similar sensitive semi-critical or any non-critical medical devices or packaged supplies. In one mach ...

As the electrification revolution is underway to combat climate change, one technical hurdle limitsnbsp;the progress, namely the ability to store large amount of electrical energy. Even though therenbsp;has been a huge improvement in energy density for batteries in the last decade, it is still notnbsp;enough to provide adequate power to weight-sensitive applications aerospace applications. There i ...

In this Phase I SBIR, XploSafe proposes to develop and confirm the nbsp;technical feasibility of the use of beads, pellets made from pure and surface functionalized nanoporous silica as a vacuum regenerable sorbent within the Exploration Extravehicular Mobility Unit (xEMU) for carbon dioxide (CO2) and humidity control. The proposed self-cleaning technology shall not require heat based regeneration ...

Ground-to-satellite and satellite-to-satellite quantum encrypted communications, distributed sensing, and networking demand a disruptive lsquo;on-a-chiprsquo; technology that permits ultra-efficient, high-speed entangled-photon generation and single-photon detection packaged to provide low size, weight, power, and cost.nbsp; Building on the success of our Phase I program, this Phase II will develo ...

A significant percentage of deaths from trauma-associated non-compressible hemorrhage and trauma-induced coagulopathy are potentially survivable if appropriate resuscitation products (namely whole blood or blood components) are available at the point-of-injury (POI), en route, and during prolonged field care. However, transporting and maintaining blood inventory at far forward bases can be challen ...

ParaNano Wound Care (“ParaNano”) has developed the Nanosheet™ Biosensor, as a wearable bioactive membrane of radially cross-aligned nanofibers capable of continuously monitoring a wound to detect the presence of pathogens for 72 hours and beyond. This SBIR project proposes expanding qualitative detection capabilities of the current prototype Nanosheet™ Biosensor beyond bacterial strains pr ...

This Small Business Technology Transfer Phase I effort aims at the feasibility of developing a low-cost, modular human surrogate including a sensory system and organ models with integrated pressure sensors.  The proposed system will be utilized for evaluating personal protective equipment (PPE).  Current human surrogates are either costly or do not provide adequate pressure measurements. The pr ...
