This SBIR Phase I program aimes to demonstrate the feassibility of an innovative multi-polutant removal technology for the flue gas purification of small industrial boilers. Compared to the conventional flue gas purification processes, the proposed technology is more suitable for the small industrial boiler applications, and displays several advantages, such as low installation and operation cost ...

Advanced Technologies Group, ATG, proposes a Hybrid Advanced Robust Dependable (HARD) Seal that exceeds the Army's advanced high temperature seal application requirements. The ATG HARD seal is a non-contacting film riding seal design that will build on patented hybrid-Brush seal success at ATG. This vanguard design, when combined with advanced high temperature materials will provide unrivaled dura ...

We propose to develop a universal strategy to encapsulate protein-based therapeutics using our patented non-toxic, non-immunogenic, water soluble, nanometer size capsules. These nanocapsules have a functionalized surface rendering them "unseen" by the normal immunogenic scavenging response of the body. In addition, the nanoencapsulated proteins not only exhibit superior shelf stability, but are ...

There is a significant market for electrochromic devices deposited on flexible substrates for building thermal control and energy conservation and automotive applications to improve passenger comfort by modification of optical properties of window and, in particular, the reflectance of vehicular mirrors, spacecraft and building systems. The present proposal suggests the use of metal oxide based e ...

It is estimated that 10% of the soldiers killed on the battlefield bleed to death from extremity wounds. Failure to rapidly control hemorrhage leads to inadequate organ perfusion (shock) and death. Many of these lives can be saved by the prompt and effective use of a tourniquet. However, a subset of extremity injuries occur at a level that is not amenable to tourniquet application, and vascular ...

Wireless communication signals can be used to detect human vital signs by measuring the Doppler shift of the returning signal. It is possible to use ambient wireless signals in the environment such as from cordless and mobile phones as a microwave Doppler radar to remotely and accurately measure an individual's pulse and respiration. Because of the range of typical frequencies involved, it is al ...

This is a proposal by Green Liquids and Gas Technologies (GLGT) with the Clean Combustion Technology Laboratory of the University of Florida (UF) as a sub contractor. The task is to establish the feasibility of adapting GLGT's patented auger driven pyrolizer/gasifier (ADPG) to meet the operational requirements for onsite field-feeding waste to energy conversion (OFWEC). We propose to conduct ...

The Army has included provisions for Preplanned Product Improvement in the Multi-Temperature Refrigerated Container System (MTRCS) Operational Requirements Document calling for innovations such as alternative energy sources. As the price of photovoltaic power decreases, new opportunities for its use develop. Maintaining refrigerated space does not take an enormous amount of power and therefore so ...

In this Phase I SBIR project, Nanotherapeutics proposes to utilize its proprietary particle delivery systems to develop an injectable bone paste formulation incorporating an anti-microbial (PHMB) as a bone graft substitute. A solution-based system, GraftonT (Osteotech) and, recently, a dry osteconductive powder available for reconstitution, OSTEOFILT, became available as superior bone grafts, but ...

A suitable small arms weapon will be disassembled, and parts evaluated for the potential to remove and replace metal coatings with a single coating. In order for this single coating to be successful it must exhibit improved properties that decrease the overall cost of the weapon and allow the weapon to operate without wet lubrication. Universal Chemical Technologies' Inc. coating UltraCem(r), wh ...
