DESCRIPTION provided by applicant In this revised Phase II the project will develop and evaluate a set of five online training workshops designed to help foster adoptive and kinship parents safely and empathically understand and reduce externalized behavior problems of children ages in their care following and throughout their placement The training incorporates emerging theory about complex traum ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Excessive alcohol use is associated with a range of serious and costly health social and economic consequences at the individual and societal level This program of research serves as a venue by which to produce and test an innovative science based and cost effective means to intervene in a private convenient and individualized way with employed adults wh ...

This ARPA-e SBIR project is to research, design, construct and field trial a cost-effective and efficient 25kW 200kWh energy storage system based on the all-Iron Hybrid Flow Battery (IFB) technology. Energy Storage Systems Inc. (ESS) develops and commercializes grid-scale energy storage systems based on flow battery technologies. Applying its proprietary flow cell design, ESS demonstrated a 4-fo ...

Advanced battery recycling has potential to significantly reduce end-of-life cost for large format batteries. Available technology melts or dissolves batteries to recover cobalt or nickel, destroying advanced materials with potential for manufacturing use. With little elemental value in electric-drive applications, recyclers require substantial fees for decommission, and do not contribute to lower ...

There is a need for developing a high-performance Geiger-mode avalanche photodiode (Gm-APD) array design, which can be fabricated using a domestic, high-volume commercial CMOS process on 200mm or greater wafers. Most of todays silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) and single photon avalanche photodiodes (SPADs) are fabricated using dedicated fabs with custom processes. These desig ...

Energy consumption in the US increased threefold over the past fifty years, while the energy consumed by US buildings during that same period increased 4.3 X.(USEIA) Architectural Applications (a2) is developing a membrane-based heat and moisture exchanger that reduces the air conditioning energy consumption of buildings in humid climates by 15-30%. The technology outperforms competitors on the m ...

Current energy storage devices have energy densities that are barely sufficient for low cost electric-vehicles and rely on lithium ion batteries that use flammable, unsafe, liquid electrolytes. However, in order to replace liquid electrolyes in lithium batteries for hybrid electric power train systems, solid polymer electrolytes, which have the advantages of safety and flexibility, must attain con ...

This proposal outlines a project aimed at providing a radical improvement in ion source technology that can be applied to the mass spectrometric analysis of actinides. The state-of-the-art secondary ion mass spectrometers (SIMS), used for actinide analysis, employ the duoplasmatron ion source for creating the primary ion beam. This ion source only has sufficient brightness and a small enough energ ...

Proposed is the development of a non-contact spectral response (Quantum Efficiency) system capable of monitoring critical process parameters in the solar manufacturing line. The development will leverage Tau Science Corporations extensive experience in photovoltaic metrology and its proprietary FlashQE product line. FlashQE is an LED-based, spectral response system capable of measuring the quantum ...
