Emrgy, Inc., a pioneer in commercializing hydrokinetic power systems, is teaming with Premier Energy Holdings, Stanford University and University of Tennessee, Knoxville to develop a highly innovative solution to low-cost, riverine and tidal-based clean energy power generation. The project will implement “dynamic tuning” of the hydrokinetic turbine system to optimize performance across variabl ...

Across the nation, school buses drive our kids to and from school, in rural, suburban, and large cities – all having the same problem: safely transporting school children. This proposal calls out (1) there is no school bus V2X solution that exists in any meaningful scalable way today (2) there is no readily available solution to solve for school children being struck during evening hours when vi ...

Founded in 2004, the mission of Wi-Tronix is to improve railway safety, operational efficiency, and service reliability, in real-time. We are the preferred connected solutions provider to over one-third of all locomotives in North America. Wi-Tronix is proposing to leverage our expertise in developing and making commercially available AI based technologies for autonomous highway-rail grade crossin ...

Interference of unburned and activated carbon in fly ash with air-entraining admixtures (AEA’s) in fresh concrete mixtures is a major concern in the concrete industry. Therefore, a rapid and accurate measurement of adsorption capacity of fly ash is of great interest to this industry.In this project, a new method is suggested, which can qualitatively and quantitatively measure different surfactan ...

QuesTek Innovations, a leader in Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME), will lead a strong team of experts in computational materials design, additive manufacturing, coating technology, and turbine design/manufacturing to design and develop a comprehensive solution for a next-generation turbine blade alloy and coating system capable of sustained operation at 1300°C. Concurrent des ...

The goal of this SBIR project is to develop and demonstrate an innovative aluminum smelting technology that will significantly increase the range of aluminum alloys that can be manufactured from recycling of scrap aluminum. This will result in reduction of need for primary aluminum with corresponding 95% energy and CO2 emission benefits. The proposed melting of pre-sorted aluminum alloys using UHV ...

Fundamental limitations to Ku-Band planar phased arrays used for the Starlink LEO constellation limit the portability and power efficiency of a man-portable Starlink user terminal. For example, due to these limitations the power output of the array is increased by 500% over the scan angle range for a nearly 24” diameter phased array, with reports of frequent drop outs of signal. Specifically, St ...
