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 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 ...

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 create a rapid, inexpensive, and ultra-high throughput test to screen patients for antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. The proposed test will facilitate population-wide screening for prior exposure, giving epidemiologists and policy-makers insight into the virus ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to support individuals with sleep disorders. Sleep and circadian rhythms influence human performance, mood, decision-making, learning, memory, alertness, and overall physical and mental health. The demand for humans to perform critical work at adverse circadian phases while lacking adequate ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is a new way to prepare samples for life sciences research by addressing the major bottleneck in the associated workflow. The proposed work advances a new method to prepare biological samples for analysis to develop crisp, high-resolution 3D models of molecules. This will result faster acquisition of higher quali ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project is to improve satellite-based agricultural imaging to allow monitoring and managing of broad regions for enhanced sustainability and food security. The proposed algorithms address noise in satellite data that is caused by the atmosphere. The method can be used for many types of satellites, providing a ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to simplify how Americans in need of assistance during COVID-19 obtain government benefits in a secure, safe transaction. The platform will use ne

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project is to provide software service to correct Earth observation satellite (EOS) data to at-ground reflectance. EOS must look through the Earth?s atmosphere that induces systematic error in measuring the actual reflectance of ground targets through scatter and attenuation of light. Atmospherically-induced ...
