The success of a Phase I research effort has compelled Resodyn Corporation to submit a Phase II proposal based on an engineered materials approach for preventing, or mitigating the damage caused primarily by blast with some application for projectile, and fire damage. The proposed Spray-on Treatments for Engineered Protection (STEP) system allows flexibility in both the design of the coating and ...

The MTSA of November 2002 recognized the urgent need for AIS (Automatic Identification System) in the US. AIS is needed to track vessels for surveillance, safety of navigation, and collision avoidance. Class A AIS is a step in the right direction, but falls far short of what is needed. For AIS to be truly effective it must track all or at least a large percentage of vessels. Class A AIS costs too ...

Current methods of decontamination have shortcomings regarding their deployment. Cost of storage, requirement of personal protective equipment during its employment, related damage to substrates it is applied to, and clean-up costs are some relevant examples. This project aims to develop a wide-area TIC neutralization technology based on nanoparticles of mixed metal oxides and electrochemical me ...

Veridical Research and Design Corporation proposes to deliver a prototype of the OBSERVER (Ocular-Based Screening Evaluation and Real-time Verification Examination Remotely) Malintent Detection system capable of non-intrusively assessing an individual`s intent-to-deceive using ocular-based measures. Work under Phase II will develop a prototype application that supports (a) the extension of the bas ...

Vortex Corporation, in partnership with the Water Quality Center and Prof Charles Gerba at the University of Arizona, proposes to address HSARPAs need for an effective replacement for chlorine in municipal water treatment. The proposed water disinfection system combines the synergistic effect of UV, Ozone and silver ions to produce drinking water to meet EPA requirements. In the Phase I program, a ...

Design and field test system, at interested DOT sites, research commercialization market, seek pre-orders from State, Federal, Tribal and local Government entities for full production phase.

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project proposes to demonstrate the feasibility of a novel surveillance system based on real-time polymerase chain reaction (rtPCR) technologies for Citrus Huanglongbing (HLB) bacterium and Candidatus Liberibacter species. Early and accurate detection of HLB pathogens in infected asymptomatic citrus plants is a crucial step for implementing timely me ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project extends the development and enhances the flexibility of a screen-based, medical physiology, computer simulation design that engages students in an active learning process. Reduced availability of live animal laboratory instruction and the rapid expansion of web-based distance learning physiology instruction have created a demand for en ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will focus on the development of novel environment-friendly nanoporous materials that can effectively absorb and thus remove arsenic from ground water at a very low cost, while providing a means for the safe disposal of the spent arsenic-containing materials. This will be accomplished by (1) preparing the nanoporous geopolymer material ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will develop and implement a novel slurry injection device for applications in chemical mechanical planarization (CMP), a key-enabling technology for integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing. In the most current CMP commercial polishers, the slurry is injected on the pad center area during wafer polishing. As a large amount of fresh slurr ...
