To achieve a quantum step in data center efficiency, new thermal management technologies must be coupled to the devices they cool. This proposal seeks to build on recent observations that microconvective cooling not only functions as a high-performance chip cooling technique with the potential for a low PUE, but is also capable of increasing the intrinsic efficiency of the silicon processors them ...

This proposal seeks the development of analog AI training processors with more than 240× performance to push the boundaries of AI without spending billions of dollars to train each new advanced model, or worse, burning down the entire planet. The building blocks of these architectures will be the novel class of nanoprotonic devices with ideal characteristics we will develop here, such that the re ...

The Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project will develop and demonstrate a Battery Management System (BMS) Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing platform for the 6T Li-ion battery program. The BMS HIL platform will be designed to test BMS units in a laboratory and manufacturing environment to ensure they meet current and future requirements. The project also includes the development of a ...

CAMX Power proposes a Sequential Phase II program to follow on the Phase II DLA SBIR program “Logistically Robust, Long Life, High Power Rechargeable Battery”.  In the initial Phase II program, we designed, built, and tested a 6T Li-ion battery prototype based on CAMX Power’s proprietary cathode and zero-volt (0V)-capable high power cell technology.  The prototype and test modules were dem ...

DLA Aviation has specified National Stock Number (NSN) list identifying items where Agency would like to develop competition through the submission of Source Approval Requests (SAR’s). Surmet is a developer, manufacturer and supplier of precision optics products.  Through Phases I and II this SBIR program, Surmet plans to become an Approved Source for an item in this list, enabling participatio ...

Carbon fiber composites are strong in tension and significantly weaker in compression.  This effect is exacerbated as the modulus of the carbon fiber increases.  Boron fiber hybridized with carbon fiber mitigates this effect and creates a composite with a balanced set of mechanical properties. Specialty Materials has demonstrated for standard and intermediate modulus fibers. Only two high-modul ...
