NIH 19-333 – Project Summary nanoMAG has invented a bioabsorbable magnesium metal alloy, BioMg ®250, for craniomaxillofacial trauma and reconstruction fixation (1,2,3). This novel and proprietary alloy is intended to obviate the cost and pain of secondary removal surgery, required for 20% of patients with existing absorbable and non-absorbable implants. BioMg 250’s biocompatible chemistry and ...

Project Summary In this Commercialization Readiness Pilot (CRP) Program project, Arborsense will develop field-ready wearable alcohol bio-monitors that are robust and comfortable to wear continuously while maintaining the functionality and performance demonstrated in Phase II, and conduct a field compliance study for 4 weeks to establish product- market fit. Excessive alcohol consumption is the fo ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will result in a reduction of counterfeit physical goods on a global scale, serving industries including pharmaceutical, defense, and others. The proliferation of counterfeit goods is growing at an alarming rate, estimated at $1.2 trillion in 2017 and expected to reach $1.8 trillion by 2020. Furthermore, approxim ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is the improvement of high-power devices that will enhance the efficiency and reliability of electric vehicles (EVs) and their charging stations. The development of the proposed high-power devices will potentially reduce EV charging time to less than 10 minutes by increasing the charging modu ...

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/commercial impact of this SBIR Phase II project is to develop tools and platforms to produce valuable chemical building blocks for synthetically challenging compounds, known as polyketides, on large scales. These compounds have diverse and powerful biological activities across multiple indications within the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and veterinary industries. The high impact of th ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is an inexpensive handheld smartphone device for rapid detection of pathogens, such as cholera, in environmental water sources. Current water-based pathogen detection methods involve a 3-5 day laboratory procedure. Our alternative is a portable smartphone-enabled platform working offline to d ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is an imaging system with complete flexibility in focus and zoom while keeping the sample and all optical lenses stationary. The system will alter magnification without mechanical motion, allowing inspection of samples during manufacturing processes with 100x faster focus and zoom. The attachment will easily inte ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to advance the development of a self-cleaning window glass coating with the same appearance as bare glass. The improved performance and decreased cost will enable its use in applications beyond residential and commercial windows, such as outdoor displays and solar modules, dramatically inc ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to improve the reliability of electric power generation. Steady, uninterrupted service of power plants is often taken for granted in the economy, national security, and private use. The proposed product improves electric-power reliability by detecting a source of potential catastrophic failure of generator ov ...
