To eliminate the release of ventilation air methane (VAM) associated with coal production, the core challenge is how to oxidize methane given the low concentrations. Precision Combustion, Inc. (PCI) proposes an innovative modular array combining three key elements: (1) short contact time, low thermal mass reactor design to achieve maximal total conversion in a small volume, (2) catalyst formulati ...

For forward/deployed SOF in today’s tactical environment, operating a drone to achieve ISR objectives, including platform and sensor control, means at best experiencing major cognitive overload and at worst being out of the fight. In recognition of this problem, SOCOM224/D005 (Artificial Intelligence/Drive Voice Control at the Edge (“ADViCE”)) seeks to “develop applied research toward an i ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project focuses on the unique combination of cancer-specific antibodies and adoptive Natural Killer (NK) immune cells needed to offer personalizable cancer therapies.This innovation represents a platform technology that can spawn multiple innovative cancer treatments, which could positively impact lif ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is the extension of state-of-the-art terrestrial 5G technologies to non-terrestrial satellite networks. Non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) are the ideal hosts for many commercial applications involving monitoring, reconnaissance, and remote sensing such as agricultural planting, remote factory op ...

The broader impact /commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is to derisk a new membrane manufacturing technology for biogas upgrading.Renewable natural gas (RNG) is attractive as a carbon neutral energy source as it is derived from organic wastes such as food waste, agricultural waste, and municipal biosolids. RNG is part of biogas and requires cost- ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is the potential reduction of toxic nitrogen oxides (NOx) and harmful carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from marine diesel engines. There are approximately 4 million diesel-powered craft in use globally, emitting approximately one billion tons of CO2 and 100 million tons of NOx annually. This project seeks to remove ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is a tool to help mitigate the wildfire crisis in the western United States. Prescribed burns are one of the most effective ways to prevent the uncontrolled, large-scale wildfires that devastate entire ecosystems, communities, and economies, but the environmental assessment required for burns may delay ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is the introduction of a new wind farm control strategy that is expected to increase the power generated by a typical wind farm by 3-10%.Wind farm owners and operators face continuous pressure to reduce the price per megawatt-hour of the grid energy that they produce.Improving the energy yield ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to design a care-centered digital health platform for remote symptom monitoring of Parkinson’s Disease patients. Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological disorder affecting various movement and mobility, sleep quality, emotional and behavioral health, and other factors, with symptoms m ...
